That would be the correct shading, I think it has some shading in the grille too. it might make sense to use something lighter then extra dark walnut and get it to the right shade in repeated coats. There must be a medium walnut, if that doesn't work use brown mahogany, it won't look reddish with enough coats.
Best Regards
