Choose the right lens colour for your sunglasses

While sunglasses in blacks and browns are the safest bet, coloured lenses work differently. Here's a guide on picking the right coloured lenses for your sunglasses depending on what you do.



1. Yellow

This shade is for those going on a bike expedition, target shooting or skiing as they help in enhancing colour contrast and depth perception.

2. Blue and purple

As these keep away glare from the visible white light, it is apt for sportspersons, especially, those playing tennis.

3. Shades of red

These are apt for those glued to their laptop and desktop screens in order to reduce glare and strain that accompanies staring at the screen for too long. They are also suitable for sports like cycling and racing as it makes for better visibility on the road.

4. Grey

Grey-coloured lenses are great for water sports, baseball, tennis and football.

5. Amber

These lenses are especially good for high-altitude sports or activities that take place either early in the morning or later in the day . Also, they turn out to be great for those playing golf as brown lenses highlight varying contrasts of greens on the golf course.
