I purchased the white color.  The panels are heavy drape material with an almost silver looking threading in them.  The effect is shiny, which is not what I was hoping for.  The lining is grey.  I liked the texture and the weight.  They are moderately light blocking on a bright day.  They do not hang exactly as they do in the picture when using the tab backs.  I found that they sagged and then poufed irregularly down the front.  I didn't steam them, however, as I was planning to return them.  Overall, the quality was terrific.
