I'll see your green shell loafers and raise you GREEN Rancourt CXL loafers...

Those are green, just so you know. I have a pair of RL/Rancourt boat shoes that were this color. I couldn't pull 'em off and they sat in a box unworn for about 2 or 3 years before I ended up dying them. I can tell you that while on the one hand the leather takes dye surprisingly well, it really wants to be bright green. They are a deep brown now and I enjoy wearing them.
By the way, on a more serious note, I just realized that you had noted that they are CXL. Are you sure? I don't recall thinking that mine were CXL but that might explain why they were so difficult to dye.
