SAPWOOD COLOR: sapwood and heartwood are usually difficult to differentiate.

HEARTWOOD COLOR: when freshly cut, the European beech has an off-white to very pale brown color, but sun exposure darkens in light red-brown.

It is a common practice in southeast Europe to stew the beech in a fresh state, which changes the color permanently in pink or light red.
