Default interior wood color

Anyone know the wood color stain on the GS?

Got some Jaguar rear tables on ebay for a steal. I'm curently sanding them and I need to know the exact color.

Got some samples but they are not exact.

Any help would be appreciated.

That's a good question. I have a 99 and I recently did a steering wheel. I used minwax stains. I ended up mixing gunstock with golden oak i think. It still looked too dark when i applied it, but i was frustrated by the time i decided to mix them. It came out pretty close though after drying. You're probably going to have to do trial and error.

It's a hard color to match up for sure. Since it looks redish, orange, brownish.

I may have narrowed it down to two types of stains. Either a type of cherry or mahogany.
Maybe you guys might have a better eye.
