Picking Minwax stain color for beadboard ceiling of porch

Hi there,

We are building a 600 sq. ft. wrap around porch and I'm struggling with picking out a stain color for the

beadboard ceiling. The floor of the porch is completed and is Mahogany. I'm picking from Minwax colors for the

ceiling. Red chestnut is almost an exact match...but do I want an exact match? or should I pick a neutral dark

brown like English chestnut? Gunstock picks up some of the lighter red tones of the Mahogany floor....but I'm

afraid that may stand out too much? I'm also keeping in mind that I have to pick another stain color for the

wood front door and I would like a dark rich looking brown/red for that too....

Any suggestions?!
