Here is a comparison of light or natural to S2 finish oak.

The S2 looks pretty close to some red oak trim I did by mixing Minwax
Golden Oak approximately 30:70 to 50:50 with Natural, then sealing with
Zinnser Seal Coat, and finishing with two coats of McCloskey Gymseal. I
can't tell exactly due to differences between computer monitors and
sample boards.

The Seal Coat and Gymseal both add a touch of amber over the slight
touch of brown from the diluted GO stain.

Try on scrap and compare. Remember, you won't really get the full
effect of any stain (or wood, for that matter) until you put all of the
sanding sealers and finish coats on.
