colour for quilts

If you’re keen to match the colours within your quilts, equilter has for a long time given you fairly specific colour names with each fabric, so you can search on turquoise or aquamarine, rose or blossom pink, not just blue or pink, and there is a design board view. A number of other online retailers have variations on these possibilities.

A new site offering colour and design possibilities is fabricmatcher.com. You can pick a colour from a generous grid of colour options (with hex colour codes given as well) and see which fabrics match (the fabric partner is Hancocks of Paducah). You can upload a picture and see which fabrics resemble its patterning. The site also offers patterns and more.

If you can suggest other sites with colour guidance for quilters, by all means add them in the comments.
