I love the look! Might I recommend "Colonial Red" as your choice of colour?
It looks much deeper and richer in the sunlight, and without a BlackBerry taking the pic.
;)

Maybe it's just your camera but it looks pink. :lol While I'm sure it is a cool red color, I want to use a deep maroon. BTW: I've been following your project and it looks like it is really coming along. Nice work.

It's totally the camera.
:laugh2:
I did a Google of "Colonial Red", and this is a lot closer to what it looks like with a 'real camera'.
(The left is birch, and the right is oak. For reference, my cabinet has the finish of the left, with the deep, rich colour of the right.)

That looks much nicer. I like the red on the right but I may go even darker.

Interestingly enough, they claim to be the same colour. Of course, the difference of wood types, as well as lighting must have something to do with the difference. I know when I stood in front of the row upon row of spray can, it was pretty daunting, and I was actually trying to pick out the red for about 30 minutes. Good luck with finding "your colour"!
