Theme: Impulse

Hi, this seems to be a problem that a lot of store owners have but I can't find a specific solution for the Impulse theme.

I want to be able to show all the images that's related for one specific product variant based on color. For example when my product's "natural" color is selected, I want the black and dark brown images to go away. I've labeled all my images' alt text to match that of my color swatch. 

Please let me know what I need to do, your help is much appreciated.

Looks like you figured this one out! I'd love to know how you did it, as I'm facing a similar challenge.

Thanks!

As of version 3.6.0 of the Impulse Theme, it's now possible to only show product variant images related to a specific color:

Here is the documentation on how to do it:

I'm using version 7 of Impulse theme and the above works but how do we deal with the images we want displayed that are 'common' to all variants?   I only want the variant image to show when the variant swatch is selected.  Currently I am seeing ALL of the variant images showing for every variant.  I tried assigned multiple sets to the 'common' images but it is not possible to assign multiple sets.  Any idea?  I thought the idea of 'variant' images was exactly what I am trying to accomplish.  Another option is I can hide a variant image using css but I haven't checked to see if I can isolate the specific variant page by ID or class (perhaps by using variant ID or something).

Anyhow, any help would be appreciated.
