The curtains are more of an off white than the yellowish tones of ivory so color is  perfect for me.  I haven't hung them yet, but they seem well made, and it was important to me that they be machine washable.  The grommets are a darker silver with darker accents.   Gives them a different look.  If they hang like they do in the picture, I will be thrilled beyond words.  Got the living room curtains I ordered, saw them, and went ahead and ordered two more for the patio doors.  It's a super good price too!
