																	Minwax jacobean and classic gray. 
																	I wasn t sure how this custom stain would look over the dark inlays we have in parts of our first floor so i had them sample duraseal silvered gray on the red oak floors next to the stain mix i d used upstairs.

																	They were similar but i still liked the custom fruitwood country white stain mix better.
