Default Dying red oak to match?

I am making a table out of 7 pieces of red oak.
5 pieces are kiln dried and have a pink color.
2 pieces are air dried and are pretty white.
All the wood has been in my basement for over a year (presumably it is all
the same moisture content)
I will be putting minwax Spanish oak over all (to match everything else in
the room).

Does the pink color have anything to do with kiln drying, or is it just
variance between different trees?
I can dye the white wood before staining to match the pink wood. Is a match
today likely to hold up over the years?
