The default theme uses Color Board from the [w3schools website](https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp) for the color swatches. If the color name doesn't exist on the [w3schools website](https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp), it will not display on your filter.

{% hint style="info" %}
If your products have custom color's/special color's, please upload image with the same name as the variant color name: Go to **Settings** **→** **Files** **->** **Upload Files**.

**Naming convention**: Lower cap and use a hyphen "-" to replace white space if your color image name has the white space. For example: your special color will have this name: "Holo Rainbow", you will upload the .png image is holo-rainbow\.png
