When deciding what color primer to use, then the good news is that there really is no right or wrong answer. Instead, the color of primer that you decide to use will ultimately depend on your personal preferences, as well as what type of color you want your wood furniture to be. As a side note, even though the color of the wood primer isn’t going to impact the performance or quality of the wood primer, it is worth noting that darker colored primers might cause your completed, painted wood to be a little darker in color than you might have first intended. For this reason, while you are deciding what wooden primer to use, we recommend that you consider what color you want the end result to be, and choose the prime color in accordance with that.
