I'm replacing my stair treads with oak and want to match the finish color to the current existing rail, however I can't seem to find the right stain color to match. Anyone know what stain would roughly match this rail color (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/wcZDEkBVp-zReYv1ohCV-yji8aBQFq6Ugihx-9FIJzU1U8KbzexgYOS-zrPpTwakgJUbmeYwpGWHlW7OqOo1NH3ECi-xndG2sFHIddznbYRsEj8pMNIU9b6MXvA4-vGnLcQVzp_nUkQN9qrWMF7fnP-SHG-qv8zt0J_r8GpIhc0J4qWuS-U8hVCWtDEtJlW9bSo2V0HDSlgG7fkPq6ttVq8-WLUFijiuOGLH4dQzQEMTzTqN8lQO4dpfuzWBfYOHr4cSM1GfeE rsXseL8U3u7kkUTUFiXuzN1cA4dIe8n68qs8ZSCpEwoyE2WN6E uLRyDRacoMdWfSt9ucxOnIMj3Tg9FkrBXAOAPGxX68Jzbc9c8_ 4GkOGb-PT_YQZJOiSoY1xgRiNHajE0wTB_5Ely8uSsmAOL1J7pii9rQLL hQrIkVzP9pEuW78zycv4tu6JLAcTf44fGvcy-1mN-9pPFGMEgReACRmz2i9xdF6RatjrGjs59iDJqWCcYvB-pebjHkIhSa5lau2b0V8vvQ3TDNWlRJkFaPr22V-XTos3ut_nkkZKaY5AgQ8-WCnfbUkAbhMRjIQr14JqW_K-3S8I1RPYe_brznwB1GNVTUcWpNm0S30LVJvII8CQOSyG0C_OGW Y8yoOTMmI5HodWnNCXXsU09zSrqft9vgO-k=w948-h1262-no)? It seems to be some type of gel stain(minwax polyshade?) based on the residue (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/bwB5O-eAIdeYkEJy11qMewrj4zrU5_gd8zhDFdZqXTb0HE8OTY8SgG6D SQcp4DckwlHS_jkgZ1FTmQ1Kw9luIkSEb3kEgL32eDJzGYQmMu 0GoEny3itoibL5UCBUy4jw3FCt6M0z5C4iq42kJzd-UEC57_9P_bIMluS8G3fqS01HCX5i0dv7Cyw9a-bkcMxbtZLCkGnC7WyI9mhNwmL9Wrv69OCsFUf2BWMv8zANExKU sGvrrFR5RRmeOa2TY2eVuaWo9coriNtyUcdA9mUO8eIyErOZL3 KNPk1NEw7AtWP1BSyUiUTGmBS6Sxcszacs5Zs4Tg87A1s9aeHc j6jLh9H6an3niYVUn2I-ZqJcuHph6_IT1CKJ-sKlF1sFB-onu8v9FgqauU6s1p80e4lt6dOqpuAmtew6JgH1bdXJEGnO2YQA LbidN1wG4P-3Rxo7xYcdC7GSVN6JAG8_QqoYvypbE6XtikWp4SHW2r5xLfwtc RuHnfexTle2VwIe39pycg-w_8S_AWJo3E4I4oLmDN7tGWJJJXTgXRCyThJeUZYNZAySflR1G ZivYZzC02PW4HHkUpG2BiyEhb85YWQPSGmGzgRGmVLiyQIXzdo Rgb4=w1684-h1262-no) on the spindle. I've tried sedona red but it's too red. gel mahogany is more brown than the current amber looking rail. chestnut stain is a bit pale yellow, although I've only tested with one coat of wipeon/wipeoff. Thanks!

If you can take something with that finish to Sherwiin Williams they do custom match stain. They did it for me and it is a great match.
