# Add product colors using category metafields

Adding product colors using category metafields in Shopify helps you manage [color options](https://revone-demo.myshopify.com/products/deep-neck-ribbon-sweater/?_ab=0&_fd=0&_sc=1&preview_theme_id=141079281815) more efficiently across your store. By using Shopify’s standard product taxonomy, you can assign color attributes at the category level and connect them to variant options.

To showcase color swatches on products grid and product page for items in your store, you must assign colors to each product via the store admin panel.
