Sunglass colors

[ducksterman]

I happen to like the "amber" group of lens colors...polarized.

But when I'm not able to personally try them on...I get confused by reading in catalogs the various colors in that group.

Does anyone really know the difference between....amber....copper...brown...bronze...or other related colors ?

And I suppose they vary manufacturer to manufacturer?

I like the brown color best for fly fishing, grey for driving.

As I understand it, Amber & Brown are colors for all-around conditions. Orange & Coipper are for light-colored western streams & shallow saltwater. Gray & Blue are for deep salt.

Here's something that was forwarded to me this morning, the lens simulator might answer some questions. If nothing else, it's a fun and informative use of the web. At least I thought so.

The Smith site is really something. Problem is, my AO brown lens tint things sorta brown with a yellow cast, certainly not the blue represented on the site. Great for freshwater, but not for me on the flats. Grey works much better for me. I'm beginning to think that the "best" lens color is like the "best" 5 weight.
