M5 and Degrees Kelvin

Sorry if this is common knowledge, but I'm not finding it in the search. Does anyone know if the M5 will allow you to set the white balance temp (in degrees Kelvin)?

The part that might be common knowledge is whether the M10 or M3 has this. If they do, then the M5 would definitely have it. (Canon wouldn't make this one "dumber".)

I have an original M (fire sale), and I've been happy with it for the most part. I thought about doing the Magic Lantern mod back in the day to give me this one specific feature, but I decided to stick with gray cards and such.  But I love being able to set Kelvin on the fly

An M5 would be tempting with what seems to be way better AF, faster shooting (buffering), and then this too.

I know this sounds like heresy, but I think I'm going to sell my FF 6D I never use (the M is just too convenient). And get an M5. I dabble in boudoir these days (retired wedding photog, now I shoot what I enjoy shooting).

An M5, a couple primes, some extra batteries, and some ice lights, and I'm very light, slim, and set.
