What is the shutter color?

2 years ago

I'd like to know the color of the shutters in this photo. We are building a home in Texas and we have been using this house as a guide for our colors.

These are stained shitters, so the wood is Sapele (similar to Mahogany), and the stain was, I think, a custom blend. I would try Minwax colors...start with Provincial (lighter) and maybe try Special Walnut, Dark Walnut...can blend to suit.
