Color Is Very Close To What Is Depicted On The Website. Material Is Very Simple And Has A Somewhat Synthetic Look And Feel, But I Don'T Mind It. They Do Block Nearly All Ambient Light At Night, But When Hit Directly By The Sun, Some Light Gets Through. Pros: Good For Room Darkening. Outside View Of Curtain Is The Same Color/Material As Inside View.Cons: Some Light Gets Through. Material Feels Synthetic.
