Color category settings

Color category – admin setup#

This article outlines best practices for setting up and using color categories in Vestis Labs to support clear organization and consistent classification of colors used throughout your collections and product development workflow.

Introduction & best practice#

Color categories in Vestis Labs help group and organise colors into meaningful segments, ensuring clarity and consistency across your styles and material libraries. By assigning categories—such as neutrals, brights, pastels, earthy tones, or seasonal palettes—you enable structured color management that enhances filtering, reporting, and collaboration between teams.

While color categories are optional, using them is highly recommended to ensure scalability and maintain a well-organised color library as your assortment grows. Well-defined color categories in Admin support consistent application across collections, improve searchability, and strengthen alignment across design, development, and production teams.
