I used a 20mm cylinder that is 8mm tall as the base model. I used the Height Range Modifier to divide the cylinder into 0.2mm layers. In each of these layers I added an extruder setting to force a change of color. If you use all 5 colors, you cycle through all the colors every 1mm. It takes a little over an hour to cycle through 5 colors 8 times.
You can reduce the height of the cylinder if you don't want to run through the colors 8 times. I would recommend reducing the height in 1mm increments.
If you don't want to run all 5 colors, you can delete the extruder settings for the filaments you are not using. Any layer that does not have an extruder setting will be printed in the color assigned to the base model so it should be one of the colors you are actually testing. I have attached pictures showing a test of 3 filaments.
