Question with images on products

Question

being a complete newbie with Magento, kinda' suffering a little bit but right now the question is this, if you check the following:

http://www.spartvs.com/ibiza-153.html

There's a lot of images coming on that product, the idea is to have 3 or 4, maybe 5 images max and then when people clicks on a color, then only the images associated with that color will appear, the way the images are set up within the product is as follows, please check attachment

The thing is, what I'm doing wrong? or maybe this what I am asking is not possible on Magento?

Thanks!

Arturo, Ben's correct, you need to look at colour swatches. Before that however, you should familiarise yourself with configurable products.

This type of product allows you to create one parent product that in a simple form, links to a child product based on a selection of attributes, normally using a dropdown for each attribute.

Colour swatch extension hide the dropdowns and replace them with small swatches to indicate the selection.

A quick Google of "magento color swatches" will give you a few results. Personally, I've used the version available from Amasty, but others are available.
