Advice on blending in wood that will work in 1952 kitchen

Hi all,I could use your help on what type of wood to use for  my kitchen. It has [to have] less visible grain/knots than pine. Also, a type of wood that could achieve a (close to) stain to match existing stained paneling in my 1952 home. I want to keep all the paneling that hasn’t been painted white by P.O. [previous owner]. I’m not afraid of this red/orangey color for base cabinets. I want to keep the yesteryear in here with a slight twist. Thank you!!!
