Learn how to add and manage Manufacturer Colour Options at the OEM level. Colours received from third parties are often not in a standard format (e.g. 'Ice White'). Colour Options match these manufacturer colour names to a generic colour (e.g. 'White'), so vehicles can be filtered by colour consistently. They also act as a central catalogue of the manufacturer's available colours.
