Cabinets can take on a multitude of forms and color. Different types of wood will look best with different color stains and this is normally taken into consideration when staining cabinets. Some cabinets are very light golden yellow while others are dark - almost black - brown. You can stain any wood any color, but the outcome will be rather different depending on the wood. For instance, if you stain oak with a honey stain this will leave the wood a brighter color, that same stain will take on a different look on maple.
