The beige is anything but. It is a "straw" yellow, not pale "tan" like the website shows and what beige should be. Even more important, at least the "beige" curtains do NOT block light like you would expect a curtain to do. Even in overcast daylight, I could see where the window and windowframe connect -- put your hand behind it and it is thin enough to see shadow of your hand very clearly. There is no backing of any type so don't expect noticable noise reduction or thermal properties either. These are made in China.
