Attribute Name Variation

[Inxie]

Basically, I have an attribute called COLOUR with several colours to below to choose from. I apply this to all my products.

The COLOUR actually refers to the shirt colour on most of the t-shirts, but some it refers to the design colour. I could just create a new set of attributes, style them separately and apply them separately but effectively I only want the title to change. e.g. (Colour - SHIRT. Colour - DESIGN)

So to sum up, Im using the colour attribute on all my products, I just need the title to change from Colour - Shirt to Colour - Design on some of them.
Is there a more effecient way to do this?

See a product page here if it helps > http://www.pazzle.co.uk/index.php?ma...3#.UIkdEsWlUYP

I know the colours are wrong im still in development of this site

If I understand the question, no. Take an easier example: say each color shirt had its own model number. There's no provision in Zencart (yet) for attribute model numbers, so the only way to specify them is in the attribute name (ex.- Blue 12345). Unfortunately, that would mean you would have to create individual attributes for each product. You could do the same in your case, but it seems it would be easier to just create a Color - Shirt attribute and apply it where necessary. Will there be any product where both the shirt color and design color can be selected ?

I see, no there won't be any products that you can select shirt colour and design colour. Guess I just have to create a whole bunch of colours again.
