A user encountered an issue where image variants and color swatches weren’t displaying on collection pages despite using the Impact theme, which supports this feature. They had successfully implemented it before but faced problems on a new store.
Root Cause Identified:
The issue stemmed from the variant option being named “Colors” (plural) instead of “Color” (singular).
Solution Provided:
Rename the product option from “Colors” to either “Color” or “Colour”
The Impact theme’s color swatch functionality requires this specific naming convention
Supporting screenshots demonstrated that swatches appear correctly on both product and collection pages once the option name is corrected
Outcome:
The solution successfully resolved the issue, with the original poster confirming it worked.

Hello everyone
I’m using the Impact theme, which supports image and color variant displays on the collection page and in the featured collection section. I’ve successfully done this in the past. However, on a new store I created using the Impact theme, the image variants and color swatches are not showing up on the collection page or in the featured collection section. I’ve attached a screenshot and included the website URL. Does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks in advance!
I reviewed the official support documentation regarding implementing color swatches on the collection pages, and looks like you have already followed the correct steps and are using the right customization settings to enable the swatches. However, since the swatches are still not visible, this could be due to the naming of the “color” option as “colors” in your case.
I tried replicating the same thing on my dev store, and found that the swatches do not show up when the option name is set to “Colors”, you can see the screenshot below:
But when I renamed the option name to either “Color” or “Colour” the swatches are visible, on the product and the collection pages. See screenshots below:
So please try considering renaming your “Colors” option to “Color” or “Colour”, and this should fix the issue of swatches not showing up.
I hope this helps!
