Dawn theme does not have the swatches capabilities so you will need to custom code or allow for an app

Hello @Dropstar

Do you need to customize this or use a third-party app?

Hi @Dropstar

If the design is not available in your theme, then custom code will be required. You’ll need a developer for that.

Let us know if you’re interested. Thanks!

Yes, I’m interested
