Olde mustard is a painted finish that goes through a 5 step process.  A dark stain is applied over the paint to give it a is slightly distressed look.  Order a sample 2.5" x 4" wood color chip for a $5 deposit with free shipping. We will refund your deposit of $5 when you mail them back to us (return postage not included).  Our finishes are not simple one step applications and the sample chip is painted on plywood board (not on pine) and may not reflect the actual finished product.  You may consider ordering a small finished plate shelf to have a more exact match.  Click here to see plate shelf for $39.
