Not very dark grey, but I love the color. It does bring a tinted shade to the room, it’s better than white. I am pleased with the dark grey. They are sheer so don’t think that you are going to get any black out shade or anything along those lines. I  love the rings at the top they easily glide over the pole. Installation was a breeze. These are in my office and it brings a peaceful calm to my surroundings.
