I love these curtains. I bought the mint color and they have a more bluish look to them but they still go well in my bedroom. They also are not totally blackout only because sun does come through the top of curtains however, they block out light better than the blinds that were up. I took the blinds off and only use the curtains. The grommets make open and closing of these curtains so easy. I waited for the best price $49.49 so very pleased with the price.
