Title says it all really. Just bought a teak bathroom vanity unit which needs sealing. Wifey doesn't want it going dark. My go-to, Fiddes Hard Wax Oil does darken it markedly with a single coat, so no good.

Any ideas? Ta.

PS, thought here would be better than decorating...
 
Dampen it with water - that indicate the sort of colour it will go to with any clear lacquer. Look for a matt non-yellowing lacquer such a water-based flooring lacquer for the minimum darkening
