In terms of universal colors (the color standard that house painters use), it would be brown (burnt umber), orange (raw sienna – is gold actually, but mixed with burnt sienna I can make orange) and red (burnt sienna) and maybe a bit of gray (raw umber). The different stain colors come from managing the amounts of each of these colorants in your mix. You can narrow most stain colorants down to brown, orange and red. You usually don’t see blue, or green stained trim do you? And while white used to be a popular color a few years ago (and we called it “ pickling“) it is not used much anymore.

The paint store people will then start with a stain base (or a stain color) and add universal colorants to tweak the stain match – for that particular piece of bare stock that you brought in so that it matches the already finished sample. The way stains are matched for consumers or paint contractors usually follows this course:Ī piece of trim that is already stained and finished is brought in to the local paint store and with that, a piece of unfinished wood (sometimes the same wood species and sometimes not) and the request is made for a stain that will match the finished sample.
