Think slightly darker than the e46 myrtle wood trim with a strong emphasis on black from the grain pattern. It would go with all interiors. The poplar is a warm medium brown with a very busy grain. It goes with all interiors, but is probably best on beige and gray since their relatively bright colors take away some of that busy effect. For my taste it would be a little too much contrast with black or terra, but I've seen it with black and it didn't look bad. It's all a matter of taste.

wow, your descrptions are really vivid! you already convinced me I need to switch to walnut now
