Hey everyone,
I'm just about ready to spray the laquer on my 90 cabinet and I was just wondering what the correct color scheme is for it. My guess would be medium walnut for the case and extra dark walnut for the trim. I'm using Mohawk laquer. Does any one have any idea's? Thanks!

Medium Walnut overall, including the trim. You can fill the grooves of the two "columns" on the left and right of the front panel with Extra Dark Walnut, but the rest of the cabinet needs to be Medium Walnut to have the proper color.
