Creator 5 Filament Palette
The Creator 5 / 5 Pro ships with its own 24-color filament palette and a 21-material list, both extracted from firmware (firmwareExe, RE-confirmed and byte-identical across Creator 5 Pro 1.7.8 and 1.9.2). This page documents those values for clients that snap user-entered colors/materials to the printer's known set (e.g. the msConfig_cmd slot-metadata command).
The Creator 5 does not reuse the AD5X palette. The hue progression is the same position-for-position, but almost every swatch differs by a few RGB units (e.g. AD5X "Blue"
#45A8F9vs Creator 5 "Blue"#4CAAF8). Matching a Creator 5 color against the AD5X palette will snap to slightly-wrong values. Use the values below.Live cross-check: a real Creator 5 Pro
/detailreported a slotmaterialColorof#4CAAF8, which is Creator 5 palette index 9 ("Blue") — present here, absent from the AD5X list. This confirms this list is the one the printer actually displays.
The binary contains two color tables. The authoritative one is the #RRGGBB string list loaded into a live runtime container at startup; its values match live /detail output. A second vector<uint32_t> (g_mapFilamentColor) appears only inside a baked-in config-template comment blob and holds the old AD5X-matching values — ignore it for color matching.
Swatch names are assigned by positional analogy to the AD5X palette (the firmware stores only the hex values).

New vs the AD5X 14-material set: ASA, S-PAHT, S-Multi, HIPS, PVA, and three TPU durometers (TPU-90A / TPU-95A / TPU-64D). The AD5X's single generic TPU is absent here; all other AD5X materials remain.
The color and material blocks are separate, independently-sized lists (24 ≠ 21), so the 24 colors are a standalone picker palette, not per-material default colors.
- Build the Creator 5 palette from the 24 hex values + 21 materials above. The CIEDE2000 nearest-color / nearest-material matching machinery can be reused unchanged from the AD5X implementation — only the data differs. Do not point the Creator 5 at the AD5X palette.
- The wire format for slot metadata is unchanged:
msConfig_cmdwith{ slot, mt, rgb }, the#stripped fromrgb. See Creator 5 Series →/control.
Source: Creator 5 Pro firmware 1.7.8 (Ghidra) cross-checked byte-for-byte against 1.9.2. The base (non-Pro) Creator 5 was not separately dumped for the palette, but the shared config template matched across all examined binaries, so the list is expected identical.
