I did search the site before I ask this question. But I really couldn't figure it out.

I have some products which come with a few different colours. I know I could use configurable product feature but I do want each variation display in the catalog. Here is what I want to do (and also saw a few sites doing this):

For Example, I have a blue lamp product. I want to have a colour swatch for other colours like, Red, White, Green and Red. When you click the colour swatch, it will take you to that particularly product.

How do I do it? Is there an extension available?

Thank you very much for your help!

There is a native module in magento 1.9.1.0.

The name of the module you wrote correctly. You can also try to search on magento connect for 'Color swatches'

    My understanding is that the colour swatches is for configurable products? I want the products to remain as simple products so customer can see it in the category? here is an example from a website I am trying to get: http://www.festive-lights.com/battery-lights/20-white-led-silver-wire-battery-fairy-lights.html – nwmcwolf Apr 17 '15 at 10:50
  • Yes. Here is features list: https://magento.com/blog/magento-news/magento-community-edition-191-now-available-download#.VTDmbpNKVdw - Configurable swatches enable merchants to show off a range of product attributes, such as colors,............. – zhartaunik Apr 17 '15 at 10:55
  • Thanks! But I think that is for configurable products. My question is connecting a few simple products. I know how to use configurable. But in my case, I don't want to use them. I want to each simple product as it is but have a option to connecto/related to other colour? When choose other colour, it works like a swatches (but not through configurable). Correct me if I have misread your post. – nwmcwolf Apr 17 '15 at 12:39
  • Sorry, I misread. Maybe this is suitable? http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/color-swatches-for-custom-options.html – zhartaunik Apr 17 '15 at 12:42
