There's an app for that! lol

Just snap pics of each fabric & it will sort them for you by value.

Bree123: Interesting, but I still have a flip phone that's so old it doesn't have a camera!
DogHouseMom: I like the empty wine bottle idea. I like process of emptying the bottle even more.

Try looking in amazon or similiar for colour filters for photography. In UK amazon they have cellophane sheets for £3 approximately.
There are a mixture of colours and other filters for cameras available.
