Despite every effort to accurately duplicate each product's color when scanned to our website, actual colors may vary. Due to monitor and/or video card differences, subtle variations in color and surface texture may not be fully revealed. Again, these are custom products and CANNOT be returned for reasons other than warranty repair or service. Therefore you need to be certain that any slight variations occurring between the actual color, and the representation on our website, will be acceptable.

PLEASE NOTE: Slight variations might occur between the sample and the finished product. These run to run dye lot variations are common to the manufacturing process, and within industry tolerances. They are not defects. Due to these variations we recommend that when identical products and colors are to used for more than one opening, that they all be ordered at the same time. Affordable Window Shades cannot be responsible for dye lot variances.

BACK LIGHTING OF FABRICS: "Back lighting" is the effect seen when light filters through translucent type fabrics from behind, such as outside daylight. Our catalogue images cannot display the effect of back lighting, which may soften colors and highlight fabric textures. Affordable Window Shades cannot be responsible for color variances due to back lighting.

PLEASE NOTE: Most items are manufactured with color coordinated components. Color coordinated products use components that are similar in color but, not always exact in color. In addition, neutral colored head and/or bottom rails may be used in conjunction with color coordinated strip inserts. Exact color matches between tassels, strings and other blind and shade parts are rarely possible due to the extensive amount of colors offered for the primary components (slats, fabrics, louvers, etc.). Designer selected complementary, coordinated color matches assure you that whatever product you select has a finished look. Should you have specific concerns, please call or email our Customer Service department using the contact information listed at the top of website.

DISCLAIMER FOR BAMBOO BLINDS: Genuine Bamboo Shades may vary dramatically in color and pattern due to conditions such as soil make-up, the time of year harvesting takes place, and/or drying conditions. Colors can range from a somewhat vivid greenish tint, through yellowish shades, then on to more muted brown tones. Samples are to primarily provide customers an idea of the product's overall appearance. Therefore a guarantee of color cannot be made and Affordable Window Shades cannot be responsible for these variances.

DISCLAIMER FOR WOOD BLINDS:
It is considered normal for wood to take stain differently. A difference in color across the grain is normal. If you are planning to order blinds for your whole house we recommend ordering them all at one time. Your order will be filled using slats from the same batch. If you order the same color at a later date it is very likely that it will come from a different dye-lot and will not match exactly. We do not guarantee color matching a previous order.

It is also normal for painted (white) slats to vary slightly in shade from one batch to the next. We cannot guarantee an exact match if you order blinds at separate times. If you must order blinds at different times we recommend doing so by room. Order all the blinds that are going in the same room at the same time.

DISCLAIMER FOR CELLULAR SHADES:
Cellular Shades / Sheer Shades will also vary slightly in color from one dye lot to the next. If you must order shades at different times we recommend doing so by room. Order all the shades that are going in the same room at the same time.
