I am building a farm house pew table for my office desk. The top will be miniwax oil based stain in Ebony . I am having a difficult time with a color for the base. Thank you

Med. Walnut looks great with black ebony.
Hi Laura,
My name is Linda. If I was doing this project, I'd look at a light color. You didn't mention any other colors that are in the room, but I would choose something close to white - maybe distressed if you like that look. If you like a lot of color, you could pick one from other colors in the room and either match it or used a contrasting color. I hope this helps you. Wishing you the best with your project.
Hi Laura. I'm Cindy. I think a light gray would make a nice contrast to your ebony. These colors give a timeless look. Good luck Laura and Happy Holidays.
Ignore everyone else. I know the answer -
Whatever color you want.
It's your table, in your house.
I love a good white finish with an ebony stained top. But I think a light grey looks great too!
