Love these!  I have the black with blue dip dye bottom and get compliments on them every time I wear them.  I ordered the coral ones, which arrived today and they are more of a dark gray fade to light grey to a dark orange (more orange than coral, in my opinion).  The Large fits me PERFECTLY - I do not have to adjust them for running, Zumba, BodyPump or any other class.  The pants are not see-through and are a thicker material which is not shiny.  The large is perfect on my:  27.5" waist, 40" low hip and 23-23.5" thigh circumferences (when standing).  They are high waisted, but that is perfect for pulling in the extra stuff in the belly area.
