just acquired a pair of JL's in this color

stylewiki has the following pic, for reference.

it's probably the flash in that pic, but the actual color is a slightly darker brown than that. anyway, what color polish should i be using on these babies? i only have dark brown and black at the moment, which obviously won't work.

Neutral? Anything else will change the color - unless that's what you're after.
