Catch is its 40 degrees out in my unheated garage - in the middle of the day. Experimenting is for fun, and fun requires the ambient temperature involved be >60-65.
Printers print in layers, not columns. So to print a single wall outer layer in a different color is going to be hard. The pallet is designed to make entire layers of a different color, not just one pass.
You might be able to do what you want with a dual extruder system, but unless the outer layer is translucent then your not going to see the inside so you might as print the entire thing in the outside color.
I have a Palette 2, perhaps it has a larger buffer or it just plain splices faster but I already have had it do different colors in the same layer successfully.
The outer layer would be translucent. Chamelion pigments are made of a mostly transparent material that need a dark color behind them to work, so in a more transparent resin like 3D850 and in a thin shell (eg tell slicer to use an extrusion width of maybe .3) I think the effect might work.

But yeah, I also noticed that it has slowed down.
