Prints using filament with same color instead of selected filament

I have two gray filaments in my AMS units. They are slightly different in color in real life but Bambu Studio was showing them having the same color. One might be a refill of the same color but the colors were definitely different in real life. I selected the second filament for my print but Bambu Studio seems to want to use the first filament when printing because it was assuming it was the same filament. The first filament was mapped to the [2] key and the second filament was mapped to the [6] key. I had selected the second filament (key ā€˜6’) but it printed using the first filament that was mapped to the ā€˜2’ key.

You can pick any slot with the same type of filament when sending the job, it will work around it for now at least:

So, in your case it should show its about to print with A2, the first match, but you want B2 I think is what it will map to.

I may have not explained the problem well. The filament in slot ā€˜2’ is a blue-gray and the filament in slot ā€˜6’ is a light-gray even though Bambu Studio shows them as both the same color filament. I colored the model with the ā€˜6’ filament but it my model was printed using the blue-gray ā€˜2’ filament. I’m guessing the reason it did that is because Bambu Studio thinks both are the same color gray. I’m just reporting a bug and not looking for a work-around for the issue.
