I used to have some trouble with putting colors together. But I started working in a LQS 5 years ago, and have grown in this area by observing my employer (who is an expert). I like to begin with a focus fabric, and then choose other fabrics to go with it. The selvedge dots help, but it really takes practice.
This is how I do it too. I always start with the focus fabric and try to match the colors in it. No good at remember the colors I have at home. I try to keep alot of choices of blenders and such. I have so many fabrics I can usually find something to match. Otherwise I will save for a scrappy.
