I will do this too when my brain isn't cooperating for color selection. It just makes it easier. You can always use the little color dots along the salvedge which shows you the colors within the fabric.

I have a problem with colors too. How I make it work is to pick out a focus fabric I really like and then pull colors and prints from that. I was surprised to find out many other quilters in my quilting group do the same.
