I think it takes some time to understand the undertones of fabric, like a green/blue vs. a blue/green. But you'll get it! It just takes a lot of pulling bolts off the shelves and putting them together to see what works. Sometimes we're stumped because a store just doesn't have what we need, so we think we don't have the ability to match colors, when in reality, that perfect color may just be at the next store! But at the end of the day, if YOU LIKE IT, it's a perfect choice!
