Werefinish.net sells the stains. The colors are very close to original. I have used their stains on several occasions with good results. I have not used their finish. Good luck.

Does anyone have a source for the colors of Heywood Wakefield? Wheat,
Champagne, Platinum? Kwick Kleen had colors/toners you could spray that
were close... But I haven't been able to find anything like it.... There is
some guy selling stain and brush able toners....but a lot of work with his
products... I have a bedroom set coming up that is Wheat color and I need
to color match it again....Any help would be appreciated....

yeah, I have seen their stuff, I am just not a fan of brushing on like they do... I prefer to spray and get better results...Their stain is close I agree, but they have you brush over a toner finish....meh....

Jeff,
Had to dust off my old notes but what I would do is buy both Bleachtone and Bleachtone reducer.  I would take about 8 ounces of the Bleachtone reducer and add my colorants to that first.  I'd mix that up and let it set for 10 or 15 minutes, then slowly add that to my bleachtone.  If the color strength needed to be weakened I would then just add more reducer to the entire mix.  It's kind of funny we are talking about this....I have been doing more of the "driftwood" grays/blacks lately using thinned down opaque lacquers with glazed effects over that.  I think bleachtone would make a much better color base as it is so much thinner over the grain textures.  I mean that's kind of the point....intense color with little build allows your glazes to work better.
