Thank you, that did the trick.
Actually, I did it slightly different. I have 4 windows so I made
eight copies and then deleted all but one shutter in each copy
leaving, of course, a different shutter in each. That way I didn't
have to move them around which I'm not too good at yet. I applied the
shader to one and then copied the shader to the rest. Worked great,
however, it seems there should be a better way. If I decide to change
the shutter color, I have to change them all. How can I get them all
into a master shader so I only have to change it once?

You should
