What shade of stain is this?

Okay, I realize it's probably a custom mix of stain colors. I'm refinishing a birch kit and trying to pick the color. I'm going to dye the shells. I feel like it would be a mix of orange, red brown mahogany and maybe a little tobacco brown? I buy my dyes (and other parts) from Drum Maker.

My Basix birch drums are called "Natural Honey."

"50 shades of stains" actually sounds more gross than the original movie title.
 
to my eyes the stain on that NC kit is more of a red mahogany, but on the light wood like birch or maple shown on that kit the stain took on strong orange hues.
it will surely depend greatly on the wood. nice kit/stain.
