Horrified with AI Choice of Color Names in Grouped Products

Why is it that when I group products with the same design but with different colors, that AI is changing the name of my color selections? This is bad news, especially when designing wedding items. The color hex codes I choose for specific colors such as “coral” are being changed by AI to “salmon.” Who in the world would choose “salmon” as their wedding party color?? This is seen when one hovers over a color choice in the product groupings. And the hex code for “champagne” is being changed by AI to “cream.” This is all wrong. These are the hex codes given to me by Google. The color selections in the groupings should match the color names designated by the designer and match that in the product title. Zazzle…couldn’t you please do something about that? Thank you!

Oh no, that’s back?? I mean I’m glad I’m not seeing ‘flesh’ anymore on my tans and beiges or ‘blood’ for red. Wasn’t there a ‘puke’ last time something crazy haha. But I just found a beige one that it is calling pale pink. I also have some ‘salmons’. It also calls all navy blue ‘midnight blue’. And every gold is tan or yellow.

Oh not this again! There were some horrific names awhile back and I thought they’d nixed those. If they really want a name for the color, we need to have a way to override it. I am seeing one that’s been titled “dark turquoise” - it’s green and light blue. Not the combo of the two :expressionless_face: . I’m scared to see what else is out there again now.

There are many times when I put the color in the title of the design. I always put it in the description in the tags. So calling a very yellow design “sand” or a teal design “grey blue” is confusing and misleading to a customer.

Yeah it seems to like ‘grey green’ and ‘grey blue’. I’m also confused why we are using ‘grey’ instead of ‘gray’ when Zazzle is an American based company and the biggest % of customers are in the US. “Of the two, gray occurs more frequently in American English” - Webster Dictionary.

Whoa it isn’t changing colors in titles, tags or descriptions right? It is just messing with color groupings over the dots. Bad enough.

Fortunately, it is not affecting product titles, just the color names over the dots in the groupings.

No - it’s not changing product titles. But it’s mismatched in just the few cases I looked at for me. I don’t know that a customer would ever see it or pay much attention to it but it could make them wonder if they see that it says “yellow” in a title and then “tan” down the page.

I agree. Anything that could make the customer doubt a product isn’t worth it.
