Natalie, you start, if you think that the color is dark, with the regular setting. If it doesn't make sense, then try dark background light print. On a regular setting, you certainly can tell whether something is dark or light unless it is a medium color or some sort of print, where you get it in an ill defined area. I hope that makes sense. It is just so good for black and white stripes or polka dots.

I know it sounds like a silly question--does it just vibrate more? I'd really like to use mine for matching, at least minimally.
