i'm not convinced that's natural variation...
you could use some osmo with the white pigment in it (https://osmouk.com/product/polyx-oil-effect-raw/), but i'd think you'd just end up brightening the grains and it looking a bit off. worth a try though if you can't get them to sed you a new piece.
if you fancy being a real knob - i'd ask for them to put a sample against another piece in the workshop and send you a picture.

I'm not sure I'd accept that. Your samples look like white oak, and what they've sent looks like red oak.

Therefore, I'm looking for advice on what to oil/stain it with in order to keep the colour as light as possible to match the samples which match our shelves, any recommendations?
Leave it out in the sun for a couple of weeks until it's where you want it. Assume it's not pre-treated.
only half joking tbh

Right, so I'm a bit annoyed ... I ordered some samples from a company for my fireplace hearth trim and when it was all good ordered the full 3m piece of wood (With £35 delivery) and then this is the different in colours between the two samples and what I've received ... I've been told this is normal and due to natural variations but it doesn't work with what I'm going to use it for.
Therefore, I'm looking for advice on what to oil/stain it with in order to keep the colour as light as possible to match the samples which match our shelves, any recommendations? If not I'll paint it the same colour as the skriting boards which my OH suggested but seems a shame.
