I got the green color, and they are a little darker than pictured/what I wanted, but they still work with my room. I went an inch wider than my window because I wanted true blackout, and I still get a tiny tiny sliver of light at the ends, but it's totally fine for me. The material is really good quality, and I like the way the pull system works. They're really easy to assemble as well. I couldn't do it because I ran into metal when I drilled a hole, so I had to call my landlord, but I am guessing if I hadn't it would have taken me a total of half an hour to install two.
