According to Ravelry, I am pretty all over the place, too. I think I'm pretty good at seeing something and imagining it in a different color, but sometimes it is the color of the sample that makes me fall in love with a project and I have been known to go to a lot of trouble to track down that exact yarn. Likewise, if the sample were in a color that I really hated, I think I'd have a hard time seeing past that. (It hasn't always been a favorite, but lately I have been loving green. Ha!)
