I have a Philco 16B radio that I'd like to refinish the cabinet. It is the later shouldered model. The lighter front center is very nice but the darker sides, top and front left and right need to be redone. It looks like a very dark color. Does anyone that uses Mohawk toners know what color matches the dark areas on this radio? Any help would be appreciated.

Extra Dark Walnut is the color you need for the top, sides, and trim.
