I bought these because they were advertised as white, and blackout. These curtain liners are not white (see photo in comparison to my bright white bedding) and are not black out (see other photo taken at 5pm). Yes they darken my room, but for 115 I figured they would actually be black out. The colour does not matter too much as they’re behind my actual curtain anyway. I’m not entirely happy with my purchase however I’m unable to return because I’ve already hung them up.
