Basic Time Clarification

The M stands for Move, so Color Select Move Speed. You'll see these 'MSpeeds' in various fixtures and they are a direct timing control at the fixture. Many fixture manuals will have a chart which tells you what the various values for this parameter will give you in terms of timing.

Color Time 5 would work, but only if your MSpeed is at its home value otherwise this overrides the speed given by the desk.

I would add on to Dan's comment that as a reminder, Color and Gobo Wheels are both set to be defaulted to snap when they fade. So by default, the wheels have a "0" count, if you want them to have a fade, you would need to give the parameter discrete timing.
