I'm getting better with my color sense so I'm starting to get braver.

I've been a digital scrapbooker for years. This helped me a TON. Scrapbooking has much less investment (time wise) involved in the finished product so it's been a wonderful medium to develop my color expression. Art journaling would be a great way to 'practice' too. In a way I've found that working in a couple different art mediums really strengthens both. I would encourage you to experiment in ways that help you expand and develop.

It's always refreshing to see by comments that others feel as you do. I'm confident but realize my choices aren't going to be appealing to everyone, and I'm not planning to do a mystery quilt because pattern consideration is a part of my color choice. I admire others scrappy quilts, but don't want to make one-viewing from different distances is an important part of my process too.

I'm very sure of what I like and don't like. I don't think this is quite the same thing as a good color sense. I'm sure there are many combinations of colors I don't think of trying. That's what's so great about seeing other people's quilts. You learn something with every one you see.

I think I'm ok with choosing colours my main problem is value. Too often I don't have enough contrast in the value so I am going to have to work on that.

Color is a challenge to me. I spend a lot of time auditioning fabrics. The color wheel helps with hue but to get the right saturation/chroma and or value/luminosity is where I have to work at it. I also have to be careful if there is too large of a print to know what it is going to look like in smaller pieces that I will be using in a quilt. My son is an art teacher and artist. He did not get his talent from me!

I sew what I like. I don't worry about whether others will think it is a good color choice or not. If I am making something for someone else I usually ask what colors they like and try to stick with that.

I am color challenged.

I don't rate my color sense very high, but as long as I stick to scrappy quilts I'm usually OK with how they look when finished. I've tried to use a color wheel to help, but I usually wind up more confused and frustrated.

I rarely ask for opinions when it comes to my fabric choices, borders or binding.

I find a reducing glass gives a pretty good indication.
