These curtains are beautiful and look more expensive than they were. The colors are tricky. I ordered the blue and gray. The blue isn't a true navy but it is a deep blue. The gray does have some purple/mauve tones to it. And the background is a linen/flax color, not white. My bedroom walls are a very light gray and the blue curtain works with it. I didn't have to iron them out of the package and they are nice and full when hanging. They have a nice linen feel to them. I would say they are room darkening but not true blackout. Overall, very happy with the purchase. Also pictured from Wayfair is the Finley upholstered bed and these curtains, which are great too!
