Oak isn't a Color - it's a Wood with lots of Character & Stain Colors Available

A lot of people think of oak as a single color.  Well, it's not!

Oak is a wood species with lots of natural grain characteristics.  The color of that grain depends on the stain that's applied to it.  One of the most common wood stain brands is Minwax.  Here's a small sample of the stains they were selling the day I wrote this blog:
