The color is all Teak Oil. Some are clear and others have an amber tinge. Stain does not work well on softer woods like this Schefflera and can be very blotchy even with the application of conditioner. Even with the oil certain areas will be darker than others with softer woods because of absorption in to the cellular structure of the wood. Experimenting is the key!
