The color was perfect match for our decor and home color. As for wind we have not had much of any yet to see how that is. Our big downfall is the solar lights. At a direct sunlight charge of 3 full days on our deck it sits on that is always direct sunlight.We get only max 3 ours and by 2 and half hours in its dimming quickly and by hour three of them on its dead. We read researching online on solar umbrella light's and its a wide gap in whats said they Should last from 4 to 12 hours. Unfortunately we only get 3 hours max.
