Assigning a colour to a product without creating a variant

[DaisyDreamsSG]

In relation to the previous thread: https://community.shopify.com/c/technical-q-a/assign-one-colour-to-a-product-without-creating-a-vari... 

Context: The website contains a 50/50 mix of products that do not have variants and products that have variants.

Expected User Story: As a Shopify Merchant I want to tag colours to all products so that I can allow my customers to filter through my product catalog based on colours or other similar properties (such as size).

Actual Outcome: Only products with variants can be tagged with colours or other properties (such as size). Hence, as a customer using the website, filtering the product catalog using these properties will leave out products that do not have variants automatically.

I want to find out if there is a way to tag such properties to products without creating variants. Or is that the only way?
