Custom questions are a great way to collect additional information from customers that is not tracked as stock.
How do I include colour choices with my shopping products as well as sizes? Or how do i give different styles a different code or stock on hand quantity?

Simple Product Options: global options allow you to define colours, sizes and styles as reusable options that can be applied to any product. You can centrally manage images, pricing, or removal of those colours/sizes/styles and then apply them across products or categories in bulk.
If you set the Display Stock Level to Quantity number the options will show the stock available.
With Product Varations you can set a product up so that the main product image can change when a swatch or option is selected. If using swatches the swatch can be a different image from the one that replaces the main product image.
If your Ecommerce Store has products with product variations, you can update the pricing for each variation via the Options / Sizing tab when editing the product.
