These curtains are bright and cheery. The colors are a true orange, dark red and gold. They have a silky feel to the fabric. Shipment was great bc they were only folded in half, on a hanger. There were minimal wrinkles and I didn't even have to iron them. Just immediately put them up and we were done. I don't think they are really great choice for room-darkening, but that is not what I wanted them for. The light shows through the white background. I wanted something with the true  color orange and these were perfect with the print we found to go over the fireplace. They arrived quickly and I couldn't be more pleased with our "new" living room.
