Strip: Wood colors?

I need to figure out some of the wood colors I will need for my patterns down the road and I need to know how they will wet out and hold their colors. For a dark wood, I believe I can get WENGE and all of the woods mentioned here. Is WENGE is usually darker then heart walnut? I can also get PADUK (RED), and does it hold it’s color after a wet out. I can also get the PURPLE wood, I don’t remember its name, but I think I remember someone saying it changes color after time when its fiberglassed. I’m also considering CHERRY and MAPLE. Any thoughts might save me some problems later on.

Thanks a lot,
John
