I use punky pine because of availability and it works fine. Color will be determined by how long you smoke it ;)

did the other side today. didn't do it as long, maybe 2 hrs. Turned out much more like I expected, yellowish-tan. I think the more smoke you have the darker it will be. Now I have a two-tone buckskin. Looks pretty cool for my first one.
