Match to what? The hardwood in the adjoining hallway? Yes, an exact match in color is possible but not that easy for the do it your selfer. I do it all the time but I've got samples of all colors to mix until I hit on the right combo. And generally, we sand flat to eliminate raised grain but if you want raised grain then sand the peaks of the cupped boards and hit with a wire brush on a drill or grinder. That'll give you raised grain big time.
IMO you guys should hire a hardwood guy to re-finish all the hardwood in the house. A pro can make it look authentic yet flat, clean and right. Bite the bullet Masraum and hire a pro. You can thank me after.
Oh yeah, and vapor barrier that moisture from the outdoors or the boards will cup again.
