Color Swatches not showing - Impulse Theme

Store Design
,

Topic summary

Color swatches on a Shopify product page using the Impulse theme show correctly on one site but not on a second, despite the same theme settings and uploaded swatch files.

Evidence via screenshots, URLs, and code snippets is central: the working site’s HTML input for the Color option includes the class “variant__input–color-swatch” plus data-color-name and data-color-index attributes; the non-working site’s input lacks that class and those data attributes.

Technical context: color swatches are visual selectors for product variants (e.g., Color) rendered by theme code when specific classes/attributes are present.

Key details:

No decisions or fixes were provided. The poster requested assistance; the issue remains unresolved/ongoing with the root cause likely tied to missing swatch-related markup on the new site.
