// why it matters

Built to move the metric you actually care about.

Benefit 01

See, don't read

Hex or image swatches replace dropdown names — customers grasp options in one glance.

Benefit 02

Works on collection pages

Swatches shown directly on product tiles, not buried on PDP. Customers pick and click without hesitation.

Benefit 03

Accessible by default

ARIA labels, keyboard focus states, WCAG AA contrast. Swatches that work for everyone.

// use cases

When to reach for this.

01

Fashion & apparel

Colour is the primary browsing axis — swatches make collection pages dramatically easier to scan.

02

Lifestyle products

Furniture, accessories, tech in multiple finishes — show the options where people browse, not after a click.

03

High-variant SKUs

Products with 6+ colour variants — dropdowns become unusable, swatches stay compact.

// how it works
