Okay, so I just bought these curtains:

and I am going to paint an adjoining wall this color:

I am thinking they are too similar in color and would sort of blend into each other, even though they won't be on the same wall.

At first, I thought the curtains below would be too dark, but now I think they would be perfect. Opinions? Should I exchange the curtains I bought for the ones below? Thanks!

It's hard to say without seeing them up.  I do like the darker curtains better, seem more cozy.  Can you put them up after painting the wall and if you don't like it just get the other ones?

I also prefer the dark ones better. I like the light dark contrast.

I'm more matchy-matchy, so I like the light curtains with the light gray, but if they aren't very similar IRL it could look off. Gray is hard to match - sometimes it's just a bit too brown or a bit too blue or a bit too green...

Maybe I'll wait until I paint the wall, but at this point I am leaning toward the dark ones. I was going to buy those initially, but my room does not get much sunlight and I didn't want it to look like a cave in here. This is proof I should go with my gut instinct more often! Now I have to spend extra money on shipping. cry
