Embodiments of the invention include a composite. The composite includes a crystalline polymer, a plurality of wood fibers blended with the crystalline polymer, an outer surface, and an amorphous polymer visible on the outer surface. The amorphous polymer has a first color and the blend of the crystalline polymer and the plurality of wood fibers has a second color different from the first color. The invention also includes a method of manufacturing the wood-plastic composites such that one polymer is shifted in the composite relative to the other polymer.
