I was so excited when I found these curtains, especially since I had been eyeing a similar pair at another retailer were the price was more than double the cost. I purchased the taupe and have noticed that they do seem to change colors throughout the day; the taupe seems to remain the same, but the white will change to grayish blues and creams and back to white throughout the day; my thoughts are that it is the blackout panel that is causing this, along with the lighting in my living room. My only disappointment with the curtains were the snags in the panels when I received my shipment; however, it was not enough for me to return them. I have noticed that as the wrinkles have fallen out, the snags have become less noticeable. The snags are also concealed in the folds of the curtains. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase.
