    If you have a smart phone, take a picture in black/white. It will show the values very well.

    Just what I was going to suggest. I used the colored report covers incl. yellow, blue and green when I was teaching to help my students who were struggling with their reading - these are especially good for students who are dyslexic. Blue seems to help boys a lot in this area. These can usually be found at Wal Mart and other stores that carry office or school supplies.

    It's not easy to find the transparent folders in stores now.

    Actually I really like just using my phone and taking a picture in gray scale or black and white which shows me the value of the fabrics I have picked out together. That way I don't have more things to keep track of.

    Of course-- using your phone which is reasonable, conveniently on your person and doesn't add to the clutter of your sewing space-- can and will be misconstrued by shop owners, apparently, and you will have to ask for permission first. . .
