Color

Declare the primary color of an object when appropriate. Many products (like bulletin board sets, books, and many manipulatives) will not have an assigned color.

When a configurable product uses color as an option (ex: choose a chair color), each color name must be unique. We can't have a pulldown that says Choose from Red, Green, Green, Green, Orange or Orange. That's why we have multiple versions of green like sage, green, and lime.

Not only would it be ambiguous to the customer, the website won't even allow us to assign two GREEN children to the same parent.

It's helpful for products that are not cofigured as well. A customer will want to know that the roll of butcher paper thy bought last year was "sagebrush" not "palo verde"

Multi-colored & Assorted Products

There are two color codes ASSORTED & MULTI, but only use these when the product is truly assorted colors.

ASSORTED
- Use this when there are several pieces, and each one is a different color
  - Example: a pack of 8 different colored crayons in one box
- And when the assortment of colors is a key feature of the product
MULTI
- Use this when the product is multiple colors
  - Example: a bottle of multi-colored glitter
  - Example: a carpet that has 24 squares of multiple colors (it's one carpet with multiple colors, not 24 carpets of assorted colors)
- Only use this when the product is specifically named "multi" — not just when a product has a bunch of different colors
- Usually "multi" will appear in a list like red, blue, silver, gold, multi-colored

Generally use ASSORTED instead of MULTI.

Examples:
