I picked up these pair of longwings off of eBay and would like to use some colored polish/creme on them. I asked AE what they would suggest, and maybe because they aren't AE shoes, they recommended neutral instead of advising a particular brown color.

Here is AE's premium polish choices: Brown-tone polish colors ranked from light to dark: Cognac, Chestnut, Walnut, Chili, Saddle, Mocha, Dark Brown. Having seen some of those colors in person, I can tell you that it's not: Walnut, Chili, or Dark Brown.
I'm not married to using AE polish either, so here's the Meltonian cream chart: http://www.meltonian.com/meltonian-cream-color-chart.html
I'm new to the shoe polishing game, so I don't know how much it will darken if I use a darker color, nor what effect it would have if I used a lighter polish than the actual color, or if neutral polish is the way to go.
Thanks.
