These are nice, but as others have noted the black color of the light-blocking layer does show through a bit.  The "White" color is definitely more off-white....almost antiqued.  But, they do block light and that's the primary reason to purchase them. there are two layers of light blocking film between the curtain and liner.  If they were sewn in w/ the black sides facing IN instead of OUT the white backing would show and the color problem would go away but you'd still have the light blocking.  Just a flaw in how they are being made.
