Dropdown and pills style variants in the same product

Hi all!

I just chatted with a Shopify agent, and he told me that it’s not possible to have both options dropdown menu and pills in the same product natively on the platform.

My idea was for an automotive part that includes the 2 variants:
MODEL - which I would like to have it as dropdown.
COLOR - which I would like to stay as “pill” as, the way we set up the store, it grabs the color from a specific hex codes color palette, so customers know exactly what color it is.

Is there any coding line to have both options or do I have to install an app?

Thank you all!
