Oil does bring out the colour and grain of a wood and water based stuff does tend to leave it a little bit 'washed out' looking..
However the wood will dark by itself eventually as water based varnish does not (correct me here if im wrong) have U.V filters in it.
There is an alternative...white oil varnish, used to use it a lot over the top of rag rolling to protect it and keep the risk of yellowing to a minimum.
