Oops.

This is wonderful advice. Keep in mind that color is relative. What looks light against a dark color will also look dark against white or a very light color.

[quote=mytwopals]This is how I tell my lights vs. darks and it may work for you.

1. Take a color picture of the fabrics you intend to use.
2. Open up the color picture on your computer and change it to Black & White.
3. Seeing the fabrics in black & white makes it easier to see the lightness/darkness of the fabric, without your mind being biased by the color.[/quot

How do you open the color picture on your computer and change to Black and White?
I think you have wonderful suggestions, and intend to save this and follow through. Tell me about the above question then I can go to the other steps.
