- Pick color vs image swatches
- Color swatches: Use hex values or auto-detected brand colors pulled from your store.

- Add swatches to collection pages (optional)

Pro tips for high-converting Shopify color swatches
- Keep naming consistent: Use a single option name (Color or Colour) across products so mapping is automatic.
- Use image swatches for prints: Camo, floral, plaid, and textured leather convert better with image swatches than flat colors.
- Add concise labels: Combine visual swatches with short labels or tooltips to help accessibility and search.
- Prioritize speed: Supra Swatch Colors is built to load instantly; keep images optimized to preserve that speed.
- Limit overload: If you have 20+ variants, collapse less-popular options behind a “more” pattern or secondary row.
- Mirror your brand system: Match border radius, shadows, and typography with your theme for a native feel.
- Track impact: Note click-through, add-to-cart, and conversion rates before and after swatches with Analytics.
