# Use default colors

Find a color you want to use on this list of [140 default web colors](https://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-names/), then enter that exact color name as the **Option value** for a product variant in your Shopify admin.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**D**efault color names will appear as-is on product pages and on the cart. In order to choose your own product variant name or different color, you will need to use a [custom swatch image](/lorenza/product-pages/variant-options/variant-swatches/use-custom-images.md).
{% endhint %}
