Hi everyone, I used semco teak sealer for the first time (natural) and am not a fan. I would like to change colors. For those of you that use semco, can one just put a coat of another color on top on natural? For example, classic brown?

Yes. And you can mix colors to get a custom color.

Yes, you can mix colors. Since you are using Semco for the first time, realize that regardless of the number of coats (and color selection) you are not going to get a sheen or gloss similar to that of varnish or Cetol. I have used Semco for a number of years and currently recoating some teak now. The primary reasons that I use Semco is that it does a good job in protecting teak and the ease in preparation and application. I wouldn't go so far in saying that it is an attractive finish. BTW, I usually use the "natural" color because It is a bit more translucent and allows the teak's natural color & grain to be seen.
