Custom color swatches not showing the colors on product page

Topic summary

Issue: Custom color swatches defined in the product customization page are not appearing on the product page, while Shopify’s default color (e.g., “beige”) does display. Affects a large catalog (~300 products); the goal is to have swatches that match product-specific colors.

Clarification requested: The responder notes “custom colors” is ambiguous and asks whether these are:

  • App-powered swatches vs. native Shopify product variant options.
  • Category swatches or another implementation.
  • A public, inspectable example (product URL), or links to any guide/docs being followed.

Resources shared: Links to community and Stack Overflow “how to ask” guides to improve technical details and reproducibility.

Attachments: Screenshots are provided and appear central to illustrating the missing swatches issue.

Outcome & next steps: No fix provided yet. The thread remains open and unresolved pending more information from the original poster (implementation details, examples, and documentation). Explanation: “Color swatches” typically refer to clickable color variant selectors in Shopify; behavior depends on whether they’re implemented via native variants or third-party apps.

the product page doesnt show the custom colors i made on the product customization page. the normal color that shopify already had (beige) does show normally.

how can i fix this? i have over 300 products so i want to use custom colors that match exactly with the products.

Hi @lussomoda :waving_hand: “custom colors” does not mean anything, is an app involved or are these native productOptions for variants, or category swatches, etc.

Other people we are not mind readers you must communicate the what & how etc. or provide inspectable public examples, or links to guides/docs your using etc.
