How to configure custom colors swatch for your store?

We realize that so many customers want to add more than 200 custom colors, so we updated the theme since Kalles 2.3.1, we provide a child theme (called Only configure custom colors) – this theme has only one function is lets you add more than 200 custom colors, to allow customers to customize it themselves.

In Kalles version 3.x, the Swatch, Label, Submenu option – that allows customers to add custom variant colors for product and submenu labels has been removed. This option, before, is limited to a maximum of 200 custom color variants.

You guys can do so by following the steps outlined below.

1. Upload the child theme

1.1. Find the Kalles child theme

In the Theme Package that you downloaded from Theme Forest, after unzipping it, you will find out the Kalles Child theme. This theme will use to configure more than 200 custom variant colors for your products.

1.2. Install the Child Theme

Step 1: In Shopify Backend, please click “Online Store” > Theme > Theme Library > Add theme button.

Step 2: Click the ‘Upload zip file‘ button.

Step 3: In the ‘Upload theme‘ popup > Click the Add file button > Choose the theme file > ‘Upload File‘ button.

Step 4: Click the ‘Customize‘ button to customize the child theme.

NOTE: Please DO NOT publish the Child theme on your store

2. Enable Colors CSS option

From your main Kalles theme: go to Theme Settings > Custom CSS, JS option, make sure you have ticked on the Enable Custom Colors CSS checkbox.

3. Add Custom variant colors for Products

Step 1: Click the ‘Customize‘ button to customize the child theme.

Step 2: You guys will see the layout below:

In Customize > Homepage, you will see this child theme has only one option: Add section. Please click Add section button > Choose Custom Color to add custom color for your products.

In the Custom Color section > Add Swatch Color block > Then configure the Swatch color same the image below:

In each section, you can add up to 200 custom colors. To put it another way, Kalles previously had only one Custom color section, which allowed for a maximum of 200 custom colors to be added. You can now add up to 25 Custom colors sections to the Kalles Child theme, with each section allowing you to add a maximum of 200 custom colors.

That means you have the option of adding up to 5000 custom colors. Isn’t that amazing?

4. Copy CSS Code and add them in Colors.css file

After configuring the custom colors for products done, you can click on the Green button: COPY CSS CODE to copy the style that you just configured done!

In Customize > choose Edit code > Search and open the Colors.css file

Remove the default code of this file > Paste the CSS code that you just copied here. In the case, you copy new CSS code, you can press Enter button and paste the new CSS code below the previous codes. The custom CSS code will look like the image below:

This means that after you add 200 Blocks in the Custom Color Section and copy – paste the custom CSS code into the colors.css file and you want to continue adding other colors just repeat this process by adding more new Custom Section Color and continue adding values, then paste the new CSS after the old CSS of the previous Section.
