Any stain made by any company will produce a different shade on different types of wood. Reason being difference in hardness, grain of the wood and porosity. A lighter shade of stain used at the beginning will still produce a slightly darker shade and most likely dry out quite close to what your after. To visualize what shade your door wood will produce you should take a damp cloth and wipe an area of the door. This slight dampness will closely resemble what will take place with the stain.
Names given to stains are not associated with what type of wood they should be applied to. The names are more intended to give a person a concept of the finish color. Often these same names have a variety of shades. Like light oak, dark oak, natural pine, English pine, nutmeg, etc. Often when staining a door I will first apply some stain to the bottom or top edge first. Due to the grain of these edges the shade will be a little darker than on the door surface but it will give a good representation.

PS.. If the stain you choose is not a "stain/sealer" type you will need to apply a clear coat sealer after the stain dries.
