Problem with same color in swatch in many brands

[jaymeproni]

Goal: Make a configurable product for a cosmetic store

Problem: Many brands have products like http://usa.alfaparf.com/section/products-and-services/color/evolution-of-the-color with your own colors pallete in different shapes.

Example:

Brands: Alfaparf, Amend, Alta Moda, L'oreal

Color: Bkack 1.0

Question: How can I have many colors with the same name and different images for swatching? How can I make this without I upload swatch pictures like method 2 in this link: http://merch.docs.magento.com/ce/user_guide/Magento_Community_Edition_User_Guide.html#catalog/produc...

and have something like this: http://viacosme.nextmp.net/default/aparelhos/secador-parlux-385.html

Hi @jaymeproni

I suggest you to use Magento functionality of color swatches for your requirement.
And another way is develop new extension as per your requriement in backend as well as in fronend.

I just have one problem here.

I have colors with name like: 10.02 Color Wear Louro Extra Claro Puro Irisé

I made it like: 10-02-color-wear-louro-extra-claro-puro-iris-e.png and I clear all cache and flush and nothing.

Do you suggest anything @theMageComp?

Did you make all the entries with apporopriate value? Please verify once? And also upload those image from the backend?
