Since you mention "scallops" I assume you mean a 118B cathedral, not tombstone.
Walnut veneer, a plain type (not anything fancy) is what you need for the cabinet side.
As for coloring, let's look at a similar 144B set:

As you can see, the majority of the front panel needs Extra Dark Walnut or Maison Brown, as will the bottom trim on the front and sides. The color of the lighter parts of the front panel should be done in Medium Walnut. Finally, the top/sides of the cabinet (cannot be seen in the photo above) should be Perfect Brown.
And don't forget those accent stripes at the bottom, they are light tan.
This is another Barry Jones cabinet restoration; as usual, he did an excellent job.
