I'm pretty confident with my color sense. But I did read several books on quilting and color and art books on color. One I highly recommend is Jinny Beyer's about color--really puts into perspective the need to have different values in the quilt to make the design jump out. Check out Quiltmaker's website--under one of the pull down menus is a feature that shows the same quilt pattern made with different color combos--very interesting to see how it can change the whole design.
