I've been doing a bunch of modifications to my 2012 CF325CKP and some of them require matching the stain color of the cabinets. There is a small sheet of paneling that covers the converter and they didn't quite get it to fit....~1/8" angular gap on two sides. I wanted to just replace the panel but once again my wife came thru and suggested just put a trim around the outside to hide the gap. That way I won't have to match the stain of the panel. However the new trim pieces will have to match the other trim pieces. I took the panel to Lowe's, Home depot, and Menard's and was surprised that nobody can match stain...they can match any PAINT. I have tried every can of stain I can find and I CANNOT match the "Tuscan Maple". I don't know if that is new for 2012 or if it has been around for a while. I understand the factory won't send any out because of shipping hazardous materials or something similiar concern. Anybody have any ideas?

I added a panel door on our 30SK. Any good paint store should be able to custom match a color for you.

Same here, could not find a match to Tuscan Maple. Best I could do is MinWax Cherry with a little American Walnut added, close but not a perfect match. Please post it if you find a source.

I'm a woodworker and quite often I want to match a stain to an existing piece of furniture. In many cases I have to apply two or even three different stains to get the desired color. My Rockler store has anexcellentperson in their stain department and they have opened samples of stain. I take in a piece of my bare wood and what I'm matching and we start "playing". The results can be spectacular.
