I bought the grey and it is an off-white, light grey and a darker grey combination i.e. overall quite a bit lighter than the picture.  They are light filtering but provide privacy without darkening the room (I did read somewhere that they were room-darkening which would not be accurate). The fabric is a woven texture and is more casual and 'earthy'.  The only problem I had was that I ordered 4 panels for a large sliding glass door, and the light and dark stripes across the first panel didn't match up with the second pair which had the dark part at the very top followed by the lighter strip below.  I didn't return because I needed them right away.
