They are all equally important to me. If the quality is not to my standards, color and price don't matter.
If the price is high, then the color or range, would have to be worth it.
One additional and very important aspect of the precuts is accuracy. After purchasing precuts that were not the size indicated, I am very careful with precuts.

To me, quality is first. I learned that lesson. I'm now replacing all the initial quilts I made 25 years ago when I didn't know to buy good fabric. Second is color, then price. That said, I do look for sales and bargains.

Wow! Thank you all so much for your feedback! I honestly assumed that most people would say colour was the most important! I intend on buying a range of premium, high thread count solids, and will be using a die to cut with perfect accuracy. Thank you again for your input! High five everyone!

First priority is quality. It does not matter how good the deal or how good the match if the fabric is poor quality. Second is color and/or pattern. Third is price. If I am looking for something specific, I will pay more for the right piece.

I see others have already said this, but I will chime in too: accuracy! I buy precuts for the ability to start sewing faster - if I have to trim or it's not to size there is no reason (for me) to buy precuts... Good luck!

Price is always my major consideration. If its more than I want to pay I look elsewhere. I don't expect to always get what I want from one source. My fabric searches are always extensive. BUT when I find something I know I will like I buy yardage.
