What colour doors?

All of the woodwork (skirting/doorframes/picture rails etc) and doors in my house are wooden and stained in some kind of oak stain. They were like this when I bought the house and I like the natural wood look. However, all the interior doors are dreadful quality and have pretty much all warped up the point they don't close, so I'd like to replace them at some point. I'm concerned though that I won't be able to match the stain properly and that they'll look odd, so without repainting all the woodwork, which I'd really rather not have to do, what colour doors would look ok with all the existing wood? An oak colour and hope it looks similar, or something like cream so they're all the same? I really can't imagine them any other colour than they are at the minute and I don't want them looking mismatched!

I would go for a cream or white. Mismatched wood will look awful.

Thanks. Yes, that was my thinking. Will cream look ok in an oak frame though? Just can't picture it. I'm planning on getting the whole house done at the same time, so 7 doors in total.

Yes oak and cream or white will look lovely. Nice and fresh with a good contrast
