Default Color of Brazilian Cherry (Jatoba)

Hi, I just purchased a 10 year old house with beautiful dark
brown/reddish Brazilian cherry floors. Unfortunately part of the
floors were damaged by a leak and I have to replace them. I have
looked EVERYWHERE for Brazilian Cherry of the same color but they are
all a much much lighter shade. Everyone has assured me that they will
darken in about 4-6 months. However, I just can't believe a wood can
possibly change so much in color. The new Brazilian cherry I am
finding is a light brown color, my house Brazilian Cherry is a Dark
Red/Brown color. It would have to change dramatically. Everyone I
speak to at every reseller I go to tells me the same thing, IT WILL
CHANGE to a dark red/brown color and blend with the rest of the house.


Has anyone had experience with this?

Thanks,

Carlos
