Picking colors for me, is fun. (I guess I was in the correct line :) )
Another thing that can help you, those colored dots/numbers that are in the selvage. Use them to help you choose your color(s). Line up your choices, stand back 5 feet or greater and SQUINT (or remove your glasses). The squinting helps you see just the colors and not the prints.
Like most of our quilting endeavors, it does take practice.
