If it is oil based color than it will be more of a problem but not needfully so. an oil based finish can be removed by doing so in layers..... wet an area then scrape, etc......... the more color that you can remove before the old finish is removed the less that will end up in the wood grain....finish removal with a final wash coat of remover and a brass Anacanapanasan biristle brush to remove any pigment which has washed in to the grain........if you are gonna have an ebony finish on the final product don't woorry too much about the current color...
