This is a rabbit trail from this discussion, but if I am redecorating a room and will be making a new quilt for it, I find fabrics I like for the quilt and then pick the new paint color to match the fabric. It's much easier to match paint color to a quilt than to find fabric to match a certain paint color. I might even take some paint swatches that I like to the fabric store and try to match them, but if the fabric color isn't quite right, I can then find a better match of paint.
