Axiom will make you samples. $25 USD a piece, but they're pretty nice; larger than I thought they'd be at 10.5 x 8 inches. They refund the purchase price when you buy speakers. They even come with magnets and a mini-grill, so you can try out different grill colors (but make sure you ask for the grill colors you want, they sent me 3 black grills).
Also, if it helps I have a Walnut Bordeaux (satin) sample that I'd be glad to send to you; I'm pretty sure I won't be getting that stain in the future. Although, it's more fun when you get a bunch of samples and line them up for comparison. I had my family rolling their eyes when I 'd randomly wander into the living room to check out the colors in various lights and times of day.
