What shade/color is the Java Gel Stain?

When all is said and done it looks like the color of a coffee bean to me. Like brown/black. I also did not wipe off the excess in between coats so it's really solid color no grain shows thyroid at all

It is very dark like Ebony. It almost looks black but not like black furniture in a store. It takes at least 3 coates.

It is the gel for sure. Color is slightly pinker than the regular Bubblebath color.

It is a creamy greenish yellow. We have captured the color in a photo. Please e-mail me at sandyswimmer@comcast.net so I can send photo to you.Sandy

It is a yellow-tan color when dried. It was dry within the guidelines stated on the package.

Matte finish, but you will want to get a clear polyurethane for your project once your done applying the gel stain anyways. I love this product!

Hi, Denise. Wish I could help. I've had it awhile, and stained it gray.I love it, though. :-)

I'll call it beige. It darkens as it drys. Not a common wood color. In my experience, it didn't pick up the color of the stain. I was using an oil based stain. In the end, it's not that noticeable as the floor I was refinishing has a lot of, um, character, so these imperfections don't really jump out. I was hoping that since I didn't buy a color matched product it would at least have taken some of the color of the stain.

I would say it's an "off white" or "antique white" color. Cream to me has a lot more yellow

When used alone, if the gel is too thick, it may have a yellow tinge. I absolutely love this product. I use transparent or translucent paint and paint over the gel after it's dried. You will also get great results if you add your paint to the gel itself, but i would definitely test it first.

No redness if you're using the Java gel. It's completely dark,the more coats you put on, the darker it gets. It's beautiful!

Jeanette's answer is a good one...it's tan with a yellowish hue, I would say.

I've also used Mahogany. It gives a more brown color than the dark coffee color of Java. Rich beautiful color.

I think "bone" color would be an Ok description, but I would indeed liken the color to cream with no hint of yellow. I love my stools and get a lot of compliments on them.

Mine has been stained, and the result is definitely not pine looking to me. I wish it were. It looks closer to yellow than pine I am afraid. Perhaps if the staining were done differently you might have a different result, but as I had said in my review, this table was difficult to stain according the the fellow who did it. Each section (Leg, top, drawer face) seemed to "take up" the stain differently. Over the stain he put polyurethane. That may be what is causing the yellowish effect. There is no hint of grain I would like to see. His (and therefore my) recommendation was to buy this if your intention was to paint it. It would be a lovely little table to paint. (hint-hint).

I'm not sure[google it] but it can yellow so I've started using a water base polyurethane.

Not sure, it's lightweight with a light colored stain. Seems to be holding up well in weather exposed area.
