Black Blinds for Windows

Can you see through black window shades?

If the shade is already see-through, for example on solar shades, a black color is actually a little bit easier to see through because black absorbs light. This makes the fabric less reflective and gives a clearer picture when viewing through. So for solar shades or other sheer fabric, black is a great choice if you want to have a clearer view through.

If you are looking at a light filtering fabric which isn't completely see-through, a darker color like black would be more difficult to see through as it is harder to see shadows. A light filtering or even room darkening fabric in white would show shadows easier than a black color. So if you want a little bit more light control, in that case a black fabric is a good option.

Do black mini blinds absorb heat?

Black mini blinds will tend to absorb more heat than other colors, because the color black is not as reflective. So in that way black may not be ideal for rooms that get extreme heat as they can absorb the heat and radiate it into the room. If you are looking for something to reduce heat, we would recommend going for blackout shades which can block the light completely and provide additional insulation and UV protection.
