These curtains are amazing.  The color is perfect for everything in the room.  It looks like you are looking out a window at a beautiful tree.  The panels match up exactly.  They also are white on the back which is nice for the outside, especially since the apartment complex requires that.  They do block out most light.  I actually turned on a light in the room, first an overhead ceiling light, and then two lamps by a bed.  Since this room faces the street, I then walked outside to see if you could see into the room and you cannot, not even a silhouette!  To be certain, I even set up a scarecrow I had, standing near the window, and from the outside you wouldn't even know it was there. The colors are light, so makes the room seem light and airy while giving a much better view to look at and makes a nice comfy, warm feeling in a guest room.  They are good quality, and were also easy to hang. Absolutely, exactly what I was looking for.  I was so impressed with the look that I actually decided to order similar "photo curtains" for my living room and dining room. I would not hesitate to suggest these... oh, and the colors are exactly as they are in the photo!
