These are not a true black, they are kind of a dark gray, and the material is on the thin side! It’s not like a true sunbrella material. I don’t know why they advertised it as a sunbrella curtain. Super Disappointed!!! The curtain itself was well-made just the quality of the material is on the thinner side and you can kind of see through it. I was expecting something different in color and quality! I have the true umbrella curtains already and these are nothing close to it.
