one 'lesson' for building a successful color run is--- disregard color, print & texture- and work on a good value balance- most any color can work with another color as long as the values are right- it is important to have a balance of light, medium & dark--- a great way to do that is to lay out your fabrics in what you feel is light, medium, dark- then take a picture of them- and print it in grayscale- the color is gone and you see the values- it makes it easy to see if something is out of place- or if you have a lot more mediums than the other 2 (which happens to me a lot) number the fabrics- then you can look at your grayscale picture & see what needs to move- or what needs to be replaced. if you want to learn more about color itself- find a color wheel- they can be found on the internet - or picked up in craft/art stores, office supply, paint departments, a good color wheel is a resource everyone should have if they work with 'color'
