Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As they said, the lighter colored curtains do not block as much light as the darker ones. So if you want a pitch black room I wouldn't buy the grey-white color. But they're perfect for my needs, and I love the way the color stands off of a white wall. I originally wanted all white curtains, but I'm glad I went with these. The back of the curtains don't have a lining, so they are the same color as the front, which I like. In my pictures you can see direct sunlight hitting my curtains. In the second picture I tucked the curtain into the window sill to keep the light from bleeding through. I have these curtains in the living room to keep the sun from glaring on my tv during the day and they work perfectly for this. ( On the fourth picture, you can still see on the screen where the direct sunlight was shining, but it really isn't all that noticeable when watching tv ) So if your window gets direct sunlight most of the day, I would buy a darker color. I needed 4 panels to fit my 95" in width window.
