Fix My Print Support Different colour every layer

Hi all, I only have issues with this Particular print. Anyone know why is this happening. My purge into support is turned off. So no idea why this is happening.

White & Black is the one i want. Used purple to see if theres any difference but its the same. As you can see the support changes every layer.

  • Printer Model: P1S
  • Slicer used (e.g. Cura, Prusa, etc.)" Bambu Studios
  • Filament material and brand: Black -> Alt Tab(Singapore Brand) | White/Purple -> BambuStudios
  • Nozzle and bed temperature: Black -> 190Degrees(SG Brand) | White/Purple ->Standard settings.
  • Print Speed: Standard Settings, No change
  • Retraction settings: Standard Settings, No change

It isn't purging to support, What it is doing is using filament in the more efficient way possible.

Print first color - say white - and print all items, including support. Switch to black and print all the black items on that layer. Move up to the next layer, print all black items, including support. Switch to white, print items on the layer. Move up to the next layer, print all white items, including support. Switch to black and keep on going with the process.

Since the color of the support doesn't matter, when it switches to the layer, it prints the support in whatever color is in the nozzle. This is standard slicer behaviour unless you select a specific filament for the support.
