First mix a bit of wenge sawdust with the epoxy and see what it looks like when you sand it and put a bit of your favorite finish on it.;)

I've mixed oil based wood stains with wood putty and made near perfect color matches.

I just filled a few wide joins in my wenge project by using off the shelf Loctite epoxy and mixing it with sanding dust. Be sure to get the kind that sets in 5 minutes, not one minute. It looks great.

You can also stick a splinter to two in there before it dries. Any excess epoxy that is not sanded away may make a shiny spot on the wood.
