There is a new Waveshare e-paper display with 7 colors https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/5.65inch-e-paper-module-f.htm

The code is based on waveshare python example code they provide with the hardware. I tried to follow current drivers code style.

Thanks for the contribution! The display looks pretty funky :) Do you have one you've tested this with? Cool photos are always welcome too.

Yep tested them with the module I got a few days ago. Refresh rate is a tiny bit shorter than the 7.5 Red/Black/White ones and no partial refresh. So it is very neat but not all that great of an experience compared to the faster refreshing grey scale modules :wink:

Neat! Even a few colors is pretty cool to have. I'll merge this, thanks for the contribution!
