Awesome find!!!Finally!! - Got some brand new boxed Paul Smith Walton!!!
Special thanks to my man gio for sharing an "early Christmas" by very kindly helping me.... I'd been looking for these for so long, I was beginning to think I'd never get them!!
I originally had "OTT" yellow lenses in my EA 4036 placeholders - In a tragic and somewhat traumatic accident, my 4036 frames "bought the farm" in a hot pan of black Rit Dye More...(The flashbacks should fade with time ). They're in a better place now I'm sure in eyewear heaven.

Anyway, now my Walton's needed customs and after studying the pics a bit more...

...decided to go for a light peach...

...unworn, the color looked good, but after wearing them for a bit, realized they were ever so slightly too dark when on.
Looking at this much better reference pic, IMHO, it reveals just how light the lenses are. In particular, the section (furthermost to the right, on the right lens), that isn't over the face...

So decided I had to go a tad lighter just to get that "darker when worn" color even closer...

And alongside my slightly similar Paul Smith Alder's for comparison...
