Opencart filter module is not filtering

I am working with an opencart website. I have a problem when trying to make use of the filter module included in opencart. I get a filter in my category view, but it seems not to do any filtering.

When filtered

This is my approach: I created a basic color filter in catalog->filters with red, green and blue.

Secondly i've added red, green and blue to my products as filters in catalog->products.

Thirdly i've added the same filters to my categories that these products are connected to, catalog->categories.

Lastly, i've installed the filter module and set it as active and added it to my category-layout.

Is there something I am missing?

I am using opencart 1.5.6.4 with bearstore as theme.
