These are true blackout. “99%” isn’t. (PS the wall isn’t white in the pics, it’s light purple)

These are true to color in my opinion. The wall you’re seeing these against isn’t white, it’s pale purple, but my ceiling is true white, just so you get a good sense of that. That sweater on the left is a neutral gray. I hoe that helps you get a good sense of the saturation of these Lilac curtains.Before these curtains, I had some "blackout” curtains that a got a couple years back at Walmart. They were darker than ordinary curtains, I guess, but I could still see light through them — and I bought two sets, even though I should’ve only needed one!. When I bought them, they said "blocks 99% of light”. But these claim (and do) block 100% of light That’s the key difference. See, 1% of light doesn’t look like 1% to the human eye. The light of a candle is measured as 1 candela, where a common lightbulb can be between 18,000 and 110,000 candelas. But a room lit by a lightbulb doesn’t seem a hundred thousand times brighter than one lit by a candle, does it? No, perhaps ten or twenty times brighter. Because your eyes adjust to low light levels, even a little light can be enough to wake you, keep you awake, or slip through your curtains.These Lilac curtains also match my new Byourbed sheets in the color Orchid Petal exactly. They’re such an exact match that they’re hard to distinguish at all, even when held up against each other. And the comforter is from Byourbed too. So if you’re looking to outfit your room with matching sheets, check them out. They’re nice sheets and a good comforter btw.
