I love the color gray, exactly what I hoped for.
I ordered 7, only one was going to fit perfectly. Based on reviews we decided they were what we were looking for and decided we would instal them on the outside of the windows. We seen other reviews, the pictures, and thought we would be happy with it. Long story short, even though the QA said they cant be cut, the instructions said you can so we went ahead and cut the other six. I measured the shades and cut them and my boyfriend did the metal cutting. It took much longer to have the other six ready for installation but way worth it! We love them! 
I am sharing 4 pictures. Shades open and closed. The pictures with a mirror on the right were cut to measure the windows and the other two were not cut. You cannot see a difference. They look beautiful and symmetrical, no mounting on the ceiling or window frames.
