How do I handle shade/color selection effectively?

As an e-commerce merchant selling products with multiple color or shade variations, I'm struggling to create an intuitive and conversion-friendly selection process. My current product pages feel cluttered, and customers often abandon their purchase due to confusion about color choices. I need a strategic approach that makes color selection seamless, visually appealing, and user-friendly while also providing clear information about each available shade or variant.
