I used to think I was the only one that did that but I found out I am not alone. I think we all migrate towards the colors we like best and I do not worry about it anymore. I tend towards reds, greens, golds, and some inbetweens. I never buy purple; rarely buy blues; very few pinks (except for my grandaughter's quilt ). I figure if I have to wash it; iron it; cut it apart and then sew it back together again, it better be something I like looking at.
