The most important motive, if I were to choose wood windows, would be that they should be visibly wood. However, in my opinion, it doesn't "depend" on color alone – I have yet to encounter one that is very characteristic of wood. It depends on the structure (grain) of the wood, which is translucent. In this respect, no shade seems particularly appropriate to me unless it is very evenly pigmented. More irregular – perhaps also more iridescent – or transparent, I would consider more appropriate. I don't think you will find an "absolute" super woody shade. No brown color in the world, for example, guarantees a particularly "woody" window experience.
