I ordered the graphite color, and it was true as the picture on the website. These drapes give our room a hotel feel. They are heavy to the touch but hang easily with no additional items needed other than an ordinary drape rod from the store. The material does have a shine to it, more noticeable during the day when the sunlight is on it. I think this is a great price for the value of the drapes. Also they are true to length, I ordered the 108 length.
