If I were using oil paints I would start with raw sienna, which is already close to light oak, then add some raw umber and white, with perhaps a small amount of burnt umber.

If you have a piece of oak wood in front of you (or an on-line photograph) you can adjust the amounts of each colour to obtain a very close match.

Does color absorb heat from light?

Each color absorbs some heat energy, so a dark color would absorb more heat, as more colors are mixed in. A light color is giving off( reflecting) that energy, so it stays cooler. To what degree a color absorbs or reflects heat would make a good science experiment. How has to do with light itself, pure energy of all colors. White light is all colors, darkness the absence of color. White paint is the absence of color, black is all colors mixed. When you see a color, all colors of light BUT that color are being absorbed. You could truthfully say that the sky ISN'T blue....

Do cool colors reflect more light than warm colors?

It depends on the specific colors and whether they are tints or tones or pure hues. For instance Navy Blue is a cool color, but yellow (a warm color) reflects more light. But a dark red (warm color) would reflect less light than a light blue (cool). In color theory, using pure color hues (which don't actually exist in commercial products), Red, Blue, and Green would all reflect exactly the same amount of light, and Magenta, Cyan, and Yellow would all reflect exactly the same amount of light. But Magenta, Cyan, and yellow would each reflect exactly twice the light as Red, Blue, and Red.
