Adding Color attribute option in Magento Admin

Question

How can I add extra Color attribute options ( blue, black , etc) which are not already show in Magento admin when adding configureable / simple products..

I did it a few months ago, it was some database hack, involved two tables I think so and that was by following a tutorial.

Can anyone suggest an improved way.

If you go to the backend, in the main menu to

• catalog > attributes > manage attributes
• search for the color attribute and click on it.
• Go to Manage label / options and add your new color options there.
