ordered gold, they are sort of an antique gold, not too dark not too bright... I ordered them to block some of the heat from south facing bedroom windows that get a lot of intense sunshine, they make the room so dark when pulled you could sleep all day (maybe not such a good thing) but the room does feel cooler, we'll see when summer really gets here how much they help.  I love the quality and weight of the curtains for such a reasonable price, and I received them way before expected. Just wish there were more colors to choose from , I would order them for other rooms.
