If I can bring the 719s back to the front of the class, how many different colors were there's made? I know the bronze/pink and I have the gold/brown. Are there others?

Hope everyone is well!!
Apologies for the long post!!
I love these little revisits, they nearly always dig up more gems of useful info!!
As there isn't much info. on the 719's out there, it's difficult to be 100% of all of the model colorways.
So in the "bronze" I'm not 100%, but think there are:
Beige arm inserts
Light blue arm inserts (no pic)
Pink arm inserts
Light green arm inserts (no pic)
Tortoise brown arm inserts
I need a bit of help finding images of the "gold" though. It wouldn't be wrong to assume that all of the "arm insert colors" would also be available in the gold.
Looks like there is a black frame too...
Looking again at Wolfshire's great shots of the 719's and lenses (by far the best reference pics we have!)....
...I mentioned earlier that the frame fronts seem to look a different color to the temples and arms, what do you guys think?
The fronts look almost copper red, whilst the temples look dark brown. Is this just the light?..what do you guys think??
Mine just have an even copper bronze on the arm and fronts...
You can also just make out the difference in color here too....
If you look at this pair, the frame fronts seem to look silver, but gold on the temples...
Maybe there are "limited edition" versions with "2 tone" frames??
Anyway, I came across this pic of the screen used Edwards Airforce Base pass...
Are these the 719's on RDJ taken for the pass photo before shooting the movie??
Can't find a better image, but here's a printable version if you wanted your own prop!
The light is catching the frame on the brow bar, but the temples do look dark or copper...
If they are the 719's, the lenses look almost like ambermatics!
Maybe the lenses do have an "ambermatic" quality to them, which might account for the different colors indoors/outdoors.

Maybe the lenses are a bit similar to Phil's OP Benedict's from the Hangover, they seem to be able to vary from a light amber to a brown orange and almost red too...
Anyway, some various RM aviators showing some of the arm colors...
Kate Hudson in 719's, stated as gold, but look quite a bit like silver...
From an early collection pic from Wolfshire, looks like he has the bronze with brown arms...
..and possibly with light green arms too...
Have you got (or have had) 2 pairs Wolf??

Slightly off topic...don't wan't to derail the 719's discussion...
After quite a long time looking for some Raen Ditmar's (I left it really late in the game, should've bought as soon as they were ID'ed!), finally got some!!
SmartBuyGlasses would always show this...
But luckily, by chance, I happened to go back recently and it showed "1 left in stock".
I ordered using a discount code too and half expected the dreaded email saying they didn't actually have any.
To my surprise they arrived!!
They must have had 1 left in the back of the stockroom!!
It just goes to show that it is worth it to keep looking at otherwise "dead ends", where retailer's websites say "no longer available and out of production".
I've tried to match up the blue lenses...
Some nice little chrome details on them too..really like this type of tortoise, it's quite distinctive..
I really digged the deeper blue look of the lenses in some of these pics where the lighting is different...
I did mention earlier they were like the love child of the Bernardo's and Shawfords!! - Their DNA is definitely in there somewhere!
I had to go deeper blue than the Shawford's...
....if anything just so that they weren't so "samey"....I seem to have a lot of similar light blue lenses in my eyewear now building up!
They are actually an "RX" frame, but are awesome as sunglasses too!
Apologies, right, where were we? Ah, 719's......

I have 3 actually lol. The first ones are Gunmetal with black & clear arms, then dark brown & light green, and I also got the bronze & blue.
On the greens I had their arms changed out to dark tortoise from a different model with the same arm type.

Wow!! 3 pairs
So there's even a gunmetal too!
So, the light greens main frame is dark brown, not bronze/copper?
Nailing down the screen used pair is a bit of a mission, do you think it's a version we all haven't seen yet, or just copper/bronze or even brown?
I really think the frame is different from the temples and arms.

Perhaps the frame "only" is bronze/copper, which if you look at mine here with plum lenses..
..does have the same almost "red copper" appearance in that lighting, which is similar to your reference pics with the color turned up a bit..
I think though that the temples are "dark brown", which is why there looks like a distinct contrast between the two (bronze copper vs dark brown) in the above pic.
If just this temple part was dark brown...
...they might look closer??

Polaroid PLD6115 in yellow

I love the fact that they are Polaroid as they are not expensive. That's something I find really cool as RDJ is obviously very wealthy, but choosing these frames shows that it's not all about the cost. Sure he wears many high end frames but wearing these Polaroid shows that if they look good then they're good.
On the subject of Polaroid can anybody ID these, which I really like.
