I ordered the blue and white.  the background is actually light grey not white.  the lining is also light grey.  i put them up anyway to see if possibly they would be okay but they are too grey and dull looking.  they did block the light and heat considerably though.  but they are not blackout curtains; some light comes through. i do not like them at all.  if the background was white as described i think they would have looked great.  the description states 30 day return and i am trying to do so now but am having a bit of trouble with that.  i am sure customer service will resolve it for me.
