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
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://halosoft.gitbook.io/concept-documentation/product/product-information/variant-picker.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
