I pick my own and always have. I may use a fabric as a starting point but will not limit my work to someone else's artistry.
I carry my fabric folder with me and
always compare my fabrics at the store window with natural light. The light source is so important. DGD gave me the paint chips and that's what I'm working with. When I first saw the grays in my house they had a warm feeling but outside they had a cooler feeling. Inquired and found out the preference was for the cooler.
First I went from shop to shop and pick the teals. Then I started on the grays. Friday I completed my search.
I'm a happy camper. Now onto the next step.
