### Setting up color swatches <a href="#setcolorswatch" id="setcolorswatch"></a>

You can add color swatches to your product page, collection pages, and home page across the theme using these settings that you see in the below screenshot:

### Working of swatches

Once you enable the color swatch settings, Viola will look for any variant with the name "Color."

The theme will look at the variant names taken into use; in the case of Royal blue and Pink, it will look for either an [HTML color name](https://www.rapidtables.com/web/color/html-color-codes.html) with the exact same variant name or a .png file in Settings > Files.

### Swatch files name

The **Royal blue** swatch needs to be of royal-blue.png name (capitals become lowercase and space will remove).

**Pink** swatches would need to be of pink.png name (capitals become lowercase).

{% hint style="info" %}
You must use .png as the .jpg files will not display.
{% endhint %}

### 'Files' option in the Shopify admin

* From your Shopify admin, go to Settings.
* Click Files.
* In Files, click Upload files to upload your .png swatch files.
