Lumber is a natural material that reacts to its surroundings in a manner similar to how a tree interacts with its forest environment. Factors such as humidity, age, light exposure, and cut can slightly change the appearance of the lumber.

Real-world variables, like time-of-day, weather conditions, and interior lighting can also affect appearance.
