Magento 2.4.5 How to hide duplicate pictures when the product color is switched

[AngeloZou]

Hi, I used to seek workarounds for magento 2.4.2 on the stackexchange that fixed this issue, but when I upgraded to magento 2.4.5, those workarounds were outdated because magento had a major upgrade.

How can I re-solve this problem, thank you all.
