I ordered the light gray curtains and they’re exactly the color I expected a s was advertised. These are REAL blackout curtains! I’ve tried a lot that say they’re blackout but still let light through. As you can see in my second picture, I have two heavy, green, velvet curtains I use for winter that still let light through. But in the middle, the gray curtain isn’t letting any light through except at the top we’re the rod is. These are exactly what I was hoping for!
