The turquoise color of the drapes matches the color scheme of the bedroom. Was pleasantly surprised at the weight of the fabric as well as the sheen. Very slight sheen which works well with the bedspread,pillows etc. These are definitely black out drapes. Going to shorten them since I ordered 96"L  instead of 84"L for a "pooling effect" on the floor. Doesn't work with the drapery material being a thicker,denser weave. The drapes also have metal weights sewn into the bottom hem. Excellent quality for the price.
