Approaches and tips
Manage your swatches (hex or images) by navigating to Settings > Brand Admin > Imagery & Media > Color Swatches.
When entering Color Swatches, consider the following:
- Entering hex values is the most common approach to providing Color Swatches. Also, consider entering solid colorways via hex values and patterns via swatch images.
- Enter Color Swatches (hex or images) manually or in bulk.
- Swatches are generally assigned at the color level.
- Swatches appear in alphabetical order, after the 1st swatch.
- Swatches don't appear if your product is only available in 1 color.
Tip: As a quick way to see which colors are missing Color Swatches, use the Value filter and select None. You can also select Export for a spreadsheet with all colors and their Color Swatch value.

To add or update an individual hex value select the plus (+) icon for the color, choose Hex Value, enter the hex value, and then Save. If needed, select the trash icon to remove a color value.
