If you want to add a bit of colour you might consider going down the route of using water based finishes that offer tinting options. Some, such as the Bona brand available at, for example, Wood Finishes Direct sell a primer that adds colour to the wood, see the fifth product down in the link, the amber primer. This is followed up by applying the clear finish. Other wood finish makers can supply small amounts of tinting products that can be added to the finish to adjust the colour.
Or, you could simply add, for example, a measured teaspoon (or any other measured quantity) of a water soluble aniline dye powder (probably a brown of some sort) per litre to your clear waterborne varnish, stir, ensure the dye is in solution, and apply. Slainte.
