I have read old posts about what kind of cutting mat is the best but I was wondering if there is a color that works for all fabrics. I have a gray June Taylor and it is hard with a lot of colors for me. I have seen white ones but they don't feel self healing. I don't really like the green ones. Lately I have seen a bright yellow and pink ones but not in the 24 x 36 inch size. Opinions??

I have one of the white ones and don't use it anymore. It's good for jigsaw puzzles though hahaha
I have the green mats and love them.

I have a blue one by Dritz but I am not happy with it. Makes it hard to see the edge of dark colored fabrics. Personally, I like the green Olfa mats. I have the bright colored one you are referring too and don't waste your money on them. They are very thin and cut easily. Plus the bright colors make them a bit hard to look at for extended periords of time. I do like the June Tailor mat I just wish they would make it a lighter gray.

I have a big green one, a big white one, and two small ones: lt. pink and purple. I use the green one the most. I use the smaller ones when I travel.

I have a green Olfa and I prefer it to my mom's white one. I cannot use my rotary cutter as well on the white one.

I have a green, a blue and a gray -- The green is my "go-to" board. I don't know why.

I started out with a smaller grey one, but now i really only use a green one with yellow markings.
