Choosing the right tinted lenses: more than just colour
Tinted lenses do more than look stylish — they shape the way you see the world. Each colour filter interacts differently with light, influencing contrast, clarity and visual comfort.
If you’re new to coloured lenses, start by exploring what tinted glasses can do for everyday use. Then, come back here for a deeper dive into how to make the perfect choice.
A colour-by-colour breakdown: what each tint does
Each tint has a function — here’s what to expect from the most popular options:
- Grey: maintains natural colour balance, perfect for driving and daily wear.
- Brown/amber: enhances contrast and depth, ideal for outdoor sports.
- Green: reduces glare and bright light, great for long walks or golf.
- Yellow/orange: improves visibility in low-light and foggy conditions. Discover more in our guide to yellow lenses and their specific benefits.
- Blue/purple: stylish and functional, especially in bright and reflective settings.

Tinted lenses by activity
Here’s how your lifestyle can guide your tint choice:
- For driving: grey and brown tints reduce glare and enhance detail.

Each colour serves a purpose — the key is matching it to yours.
Comfort meets protection
