I've been told that I have a very good eye for color by my teachers and friends. Sometimes it take s me a while though. My favorite thing to help me is that I lay different color combinations together and then take a pic of it and look at it awhile to see if I like it. You can also get a color wheel to see how different colors go together. I rarely ever buy kits because I rarely like all of the fabric as a whole. Even when I took the BOM for the civil war quilts and we got the fabric for it each month, I rarely, if ever used all of the fabric they chose. I quickly got a civil war stash built up and would chose what I wanted to see. Just have confidence in yourself and remember that it is only important for you to like it if it's for you and if it's for someone else they normally pick out the fabric.
