Well... these curtains are not very "blackout", and they're a very bluish-white with a wavy textured pattern I wasn't expecting. Unfortunately they just don't work with my warm white farmhouse walls, and they're not heavy enough to block the barn light, so now I'm stuck having to buy a different set. I guess they'd be fine for another type of house, if you dig the wavy texture and super crisp blue-white, and only need room-darkening... but I was disappointed.
