I caught a blurb in the latest issue of Fine Homebuilding about a new MDF product on the market that is available in 7 colors...the color is through the material so any edges are likewise colored. This is a collaboration between BASF and Great Lakes MDF and could be interesting for certain types of projects. FH showed a photo of the product with varnish and it was quite impressive. While I'm not a fan of "MDF everywhere", it is a product that has its place, so another interesting option is always welcome.
