I am not good at the color game. i tend to go overly matchy matchy.
I will admit I bug who ever is in range of me and ask. Does this look good together?
I ask the clerks, random customers, family members. Who ever, A lot of the time I get nods or people telling me what they think i want to hear, but often I get real lucky and strangers are brutally honest! I LOVE THAT!
