Correct polish for AE Chili

I just acquired a pair of AE Byrons in Chili on eBay. The color is just right, I much prefer it to the lighter "walnut" or Alden's "Burnished Tan." My question: what color shoe cream will best sustain the color? Most likely I would use a Meltonian cream, and they have several colors that might be a fit. Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks

Saphir light light brown and yellow, or kiwi tan works too if you're at a hardware store and don't want to deal with polish and the tube.

For AE this should be the first shoe polish to go for.

Is that chili con carne or no?

Whatever you do avoid the canned versions. Very trailer trash.
