Are the colors as bright as in the picture? Also, are the colors opaque or see-through (= transparent/translucent)?

OH yes the colors are very bright, and no, you can't see through them. They are made of a very heavy plastic. One straw has lasted me I think six months!!!

Yes very bright; you can't see the color of the liquid in the straw only that the straw is filled

Colors are super bright (at least mine are). And the straws are opaque -- but if you hold them up to the light, they absorb it.

Yes they are absolutely brighter! A much broader range and further down the road. The only negative is the color isn't as blue as I hoped.

Its "clear" but its not transparent. Its got all the duct tape texture so you can't see through it completely but its definitely not colored.

The light shines through easily, and since there is no coloring on the clear cover, it is still clearly visible. It is dimmed very slightly simply because there is essentially now a layer of clear plastic over it, but it isn't really noticeable and I only mention it because your question centers on the light issue.

they are somewhat opaque but you really can't see what is in them.....at least i can't tell - maybe a little with the yellow one

They are colored like shown in the picture but they are still see through. The dark color like blue is still see though. The grey color is lighter than rest of the color and thus is more clearer in color. Hope this helps.

The colors are brighter than pic shows. I liked it better when i received it. The blue in mine is an aqua blue. The color on the picture is not exactly the true color. I hope this helps.

They are clear. The orange/yellow comes from the light that the filament gives off.

Yes, they are totally transparent. They are a glossy finish so you need to make sure you position it so the light doesn't reflect off it.

Hi Eric! The white will show through a bit of light, though the others keep the majority of the light hidden. A bit will peek through, though it will be a lot less than without the covers. As some customers have mentioned here, it's all a matter of preference and may depend on how much light you need. Apologies if that is a bit vague. If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

The way I'm using it (for portraits, the room is not completely dark, and I use flashes), they are ok. I have noticed a very, very minor brightness when the flash was directed at it (i.e. I was trying to make it reflective to see how it reacts), but it was barely noticeable since I was looking for it.

a little less vibrant but I liked it better. The colors are still bright, not dull. The picture they give is accurate but toned down a little. It also doesn't go to the floor as it appears in the picture. It is a quilt, not a bedspread. Hope this helps. I love mine!

This was a Xmas gift so I had to check with my daughter. She said it's not too bright but also not dingy. She loves the color combination of purple, burgundy, gold and green. And I have to agree with her. I thought the colors were beautiful and not overdone. Hope this helps.

Im sorry, cant help you there. I got the white ones and they are faboulous. They are not see through and the quality is very good for the price.

I would say they are slightly translucent. I had to do 2 coats because the first layer was a little see through.

These are gel. You get different colors like dark red, black, copper, neon yellows, greens, pinks, etc. Some of the colors are really transparent though. They're not bad but I added glitters to mine to spruce them up. There are a few solid colors but most are transparent.

Yes you can See Through very well. You won't be disappointed. Worth it. Hope this helps.
