    I just discovered www.Connectingthreads.com has a design table that converts your selections to gray scale so you can determine your selection's relative color/hue values.

    The Design Table link [Add to Design Table] is hard to see --at least it was for me.


    You'll find it right under the fabric swatch picture in a faded brown.

    Have fun playing with it! :)

    This helps me a lot because I tend to fill a pattern with mid-values that make a quilt blah. Now the contrast is very much improved!
