Also I don't store my fabric by color. I store it by size. I do this because I hate it when I find just the right one and it is too short to use. I also color code my boards with the colored stickers: pink = 1 yard, green = 2 yards, etc. That way if I pull out fabric to look at I know which drawer it goes back in. I hope this helps.
