What the translated name changes

The translated display name changes what shoppers see. It does not change the colour value, font family, price, canonical option ID, SKU or fulfilment value used by the Store and production workflow.

”Colour” can mean three different settings.

The option Label is its shopper-visible name. The RGB or shade value controls how the colour looks. The interface colour settings control the customiser itself.

Open Settings -> Theme Colors to change interface colours such as buttons and backgrounds.
