Unfortunately unless you sand or strip it down you will not get the light colors back.
Stripping may not be necessary but sanding could take more time.
If you strip then you will have to refill the cabinet.
It's a toss up but these are the only options if you are unhappy with the outcome.
Sanding sealer is cheap at Home Depot so grab some and get to it.
