I do not want swatches for colours, I just want a list of colours

[bonnieg]

My new in progress site shows colours in swatch boxes. I want colours listed in words as swatches are no use to me for most of my products and I do not want to have to create swatch photos. How can I alter the site so I can get rid of the swatch boxes and have text instead? I have altered the back end but nothing I have done alters the front end.

@bonnieg as I understand you do not want to show swatches or swatch images instead just would like to show the text in place, I can suggest following:

Go To Admin > Store > Configuration > Attributes > Product, than search for the color attribute as in the screen shot below:

Than Edit the color attribute and change the Catalog Input Type for Store Owner to either Text Swatch or Drop down, refer the screen shot below:

After saving the changes to the attribute's properties, do the reindexing and clean the cache

bin/magento indexer:reindex

Clear Cache - https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/frontend-dev-guide/cache_for_frontdevs.html#clean_cache

bin/magento cache:clean

I hope that will help to fix your problem.

All The Best!
