How to stain and varnish Meranti timber doors and panels?

[DeidraYoung]

I have a question about how to select a stain for both exterior and interior doors which are Meranti.  I wanted the finished colour to be Rose Mahogany, but does this colour have to be made at the paint desk?  There does not appear to be any on the shelf.  For interior doors, I'm planning to use Cabot's Interior Stain Oil Based and a clear OB varnish.  For the exterior door and panels, I'm planning to use Cabot's Deck and Exterior Stain OB.  Do both of these products get mixed for you at the paint desk and should I start with a sample pot?

I am so sorry for the delay in my reply, @DeidraYoung.

Unfortunately, the colour Rose Mahogany is only available in Cabot's exterior varnish and stain and not in the Cabot's interior stain or deck and exterior stain. If you check out the Cabot's site under colours, you can select their products and see what colours are available in them. Select Pine as your timber to see the full range of colours available to be tinted at the Paint Desk.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
