Looking for a way to add a description field to invididual attribute *values* in Magento. Please note I'm referring to Attribute Value options, not the actual Attribute itself.

As an example:

Attribute = colour

Attribute values:
Red, Green, Blue

I want to add a description field for each of the 3 colours (1 for Red, 1 for Green, 1 for Blue). The purpose of this is to show a tooltip on the frontend to give more information about each colour option.

Does anyone know how to do this? There are lots of solutions round which apply to the Attribute itself (colour) but not the individual options (Red, Green, Blue).

The descriptions should be editable from within the Admin panel. I don't want a solution which relies on editing these straight in the database using, for example, phpMyAdmin.

I understand that the values are stored in the 'eav\_attribute\_option\_value' table and that a further column may be needed to store the Description. No idea how to get all that set up in the Admin panel. Ideas?

EDIT: I've added a screenshot of where the Description text would need adding. So next to each colour (on the screenshot: Black, Blue, Green, Grey, Red, White, etc) - each one needs to have a description next to it.
