You can play with it in Cura - it's pretty easy. The hard part is in cad. You need 5 separate STL files to come out of your cad. Each STL file defines a volume of one color. In cura you add them all and then right click on them and tell them "dual extrusion merge". I don't know that cura supports more than 2 colors but it might. The output is a gcode file.
It's important that none of the separate cad files overlap.
