I always customise my projects before going ahead and making them. I like to play around with the colours and layers to see what it will look like before I commit. As you can see below I changed the colours for each layer in customiser to match what colour card I wanted to use. It helps to try and find a colour in design space as close as a match to the colour card stock you are using.
Once you turn each layer into the colour you want you will see that all your mats will be colour coded for easy reference when making your project.
On design space my mats loaded up like this:
