For me these curtains are perfect.  The color is a beautiful dark grey with blue and maybe pink in it but this is very slight...more grey than anything with a bluish tone.  They are light, but not sheer.  This was exactly the look I was looking for so, for me, perfect.  These are not a very heavy curtain but the color is great, the material nice and light. Provides privacy day and night without blackout.  It's enough to dim the room for a TV show during the day.
