The color of these curtains is a nice navy blue and really stands out. You can tell it's made out of quality material that will not tear easily. With that being said, I expected them to be a little thicker but they are about standard in thickness and slightly see-through. I prefer the look of them when I tie them back in an open position. The loops slide on and off easily but they won't come off while the curtains are hanging. They got kind of wrinkled fairly quickly but I don't think that's a huge problem.
