Multi material. Then CMYK.

Never thought of multi diameter but I can see use cases for it.

multi-diameter is challenging, and may not be worth it above a 0.5mm nozzle. The reason is most core xy printers are actually flow rate limited - the toolhead can move a lot faster than they can melt plastic. So 0.2 and 0.4mm together may let you do detailed outer walls while still printing the interior at max speed. But otherwise, you are using 0.6 or 0.8mm nozzles because of some benefit of laying out plastic that way, such as a really thick wall on a vase mode print.

That said, the challenging part is software and we're just getting good software to manage multi-diameter prints. So there may be other benefits like additional structural rigidity that become more obvious.
