I purchased the grey color for my home, I have a large 12' sliding door that is exposed to the sun all day long. We have tented the glass to help with the sun/heat. But these curtain really help block the heat more than the tented glass as well as the sun. The grey color has a little bit of blue in it and the overall fabric is heavy and not cheap looking. It does require some steaming when first opened. Overall a great purchase!
