I have been pleased with some of the solids from Connecting Threads. There is not a full spectrum of colors but what they do have is nice. You also might want to consider some blender fabrics that are not true solids but read for the most part as solids.
I prefer Kona and I buy it online from Fabric.com. I have a color card to help me finding the exact shade I need. They sell it for 5,48$ and it comes sometimes on sale. Connecting Thread solids are nice too for the price; on sale, it's often as low as 2,49$ so I order a bunch of every color to put in my sash. Compared to Kona, it's tinner and it's less stable so I don't like it for sashing. But for half the price on sale, it's worth it and I can use it for binding or backing.
