I actually used these shutters inside the house to accent a row of windows. I was planning on making my own. It was cheaper  tons easier ordering pre-made shutters. The color is a very nice farmhouse blue. They are actually a little lightersofter blue than my picture is showing. They are extremely lightweight  hollow on the back so you can just hang them on a nail if putting inside. This is nice so you don’t have to put a big hole in the wall. Otherwise they do come with all the hardware etc if hanging outside. They have a nice “wood” texture, but you can tell they are plastic if you closely examine. I’m very pleased!
