Only problem with the colors in the trailers, most are not real wood, or have veneers over MDF, so when you make mods with real wood, the stain that you choose often reacts to real wood different than expected.
A few years ago, I broke one of the stiles on my overhead cabinets, I had to replace the 1x4 with hardwood, luckily I have a planer and jointer, which makes it easy to get the exact dimensions.
The problem was matching the color. What looks right, absorbs differently in most types of wood, making it difficult.
I took several pieces of scrap wood and tested mixing stain colors until I found a suitable match. To get the right color, I also had to wait till it was dry as the wood changes until cured.
The only way you could tell was if someone pointed it out.
