They have an elegant look. I love the slight sheen. I ordered 3 panels in Ash. 2 were for a 115" span of windows. The 3rd was used for my patio door. Be prepared to use a steamer to make them look their best. My only complaint was the 3rd panel, although labeled the same, was a different dye lot - a deeper gray. Bethany from customer service was very polite and helpful as she helped me resolve this issue. If you choose to order multiple panels, watch out for this.
