Add Rainbow as a colour option#74

Add rainbow as a colour option when adding filament

Adding a little comment here for this as well as #75 :)

While it’s a cool suggestion, unless it gets a lot of upvotes, it’s not in the cards for us to add right now - sadly.

This is purely a case of it being a technical & UI challenge, as our filament system is made for just 1 color for a spool, and adding more would add a big layer of complexity everywhere in the system, from creating spools, setting material tags on files, printers and queue items, and then displaying this/these colors properly in the UI.

I’d love for us to be able to add it with the snap of our fingers, but with our limited resources, it won’t be a priority for a while unless the community really gets behind this suggestion 🙌 (as with most other suggestions, of course).

For now, I’d recommend simply selecting one of the colors - if there is a more prominent one, perhaps that one - and name the color “Rainbow”. The next time you enter a color name, whether it’s in tags or when creating a spool, it’ll auto-suggest what you have previously added, making it just a bit easier.

Thanks for taking the time to voice your suggestions! It’s how we keep this platform awesome 😎
