thanks! This is one of my favorite ones to do, but sometimes finding the right settings to make it work is a struggle (Green is gonna be the death of me, I swear!)
A few months ago, I got my first pair of prescription sunglasses. They have a brown lens (I think it leans towards a reddish brown) with a green mirror. I love the contrast, but on completely clear days it's not quite as noticeable; a slightly warmer tone. The blue of the sky takes on a pinkish purple hue. Partly cloudy and completely overcast is where they really shine. Colors really pop, particularly reds, yellows, and greens.
Pretty bang on! Pretty often rx tints are overused/overheated/etc and the red shift is inevitable with that use, but it's not undesirable in browns. In gray it's awful 😂. A nice rainy day is my favorite use for a more yellow brown 😁
Good question , I'l have to look back and see if I logged it. It was one from Triple scoop I know for sure (one of the included commercial audios with the adobe subscription)
After see this. I ask myself how would look Transitions Drivewear lens, but mirrored. I saw them with blue, green, gold, blue, etc mirrors at rx-safety glasses and thought that maybe could be a good combination
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 thank you for your input. I’ll try out a 20 percent gradient I think. I was just thinking about a pair of transitional glasses that stayed dark inside for like 20 minutes. I got a strong sense that it made me look sketchy so I stopped wearing them, but every time I think about them I go oof.
Haha I get that. FWIW 20% with AR is almost like having no tint at all and I call it the toe dipper, I actually REQUIRE these in a crystal frame, as it’s the only way to keep the seemless look and not appear like goggles. It’s more like eye shadow than a tinted lens. Most of our in house fashion tints I spec at 30-40% and for the bolder souls we go 50-60%. For lighter colors you can push it up to 80 and still wear very light (yellows, pinks, brilliant blues, pastels, etc)
Whoo you'll hate them. 😂 give me a solid 1 hour the first time you put them on!!!! 😎 gives the brain time to do its thing and dial out the excessive color shift creating the beautiful medley of contrast and color 😉
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the ultimate brown, the Vuarnet Eclipse ( I only caught the mention of Skilynx) as I don’t think it’s possible to be more brown than that! And non polarized category 4 as well. I personally go through periods where I prefer different color lenses (other than yellow since, for as effective as it is for it’s appropriate uses, I don’t like the color) and currently am into gray. You may recall I was inquiring about the Revo blue water lens recently (the evergreen lens looks interesting as well) since the Revo lens isn’t a gray gray it may have some contrast advantages over a pure gray. I always lumped the brown/amber/bronze/copper into the “brown” category as they all seem to be variations of the same high contrast/cutting blue light application. FWIW this was an informative video and look forward to other colors, particularly rose/vermilion and green Cheers
Green si proving to be the death of me to get the camera tweaked just right, BTW. LOL. I actually left the eclipse out because it is SO specific of a lens and not really super readily available, maybe it'll get it's own updated video in the future. I'll agree with mostly lumping the bronze, copper, and ambers into browns though, and I probably should've included those here. good ole hindsight, but more fodder for future videos! haha. I bounce around a bit myself on which lens is my favorite, but usually bounce between greens or browns. I've rarely found myself enjoying a gray lens except when paired with a blue mirror for a llittle contrast enhancement at least
Absolutely not. I don’t recommend it in the slightest. More on that here : Sunglasses Lens Color Ep: 5 Yellow Lenses, The Hazy Day, Foggy, Twilight, Night Time Computer Lens ua-cam.com/video/kv8f16_4Rd0/v-deo.html
Could be my own bias but I love a beautiful warm sunset glow 😂. Browns also provide heightened contrast and color rendering giving that beautiful color pop, this of course after you’ve worn them for awhile and the brain has dialed out some of the muddier color rendering initially. (Nobody talks about this bit but you know I will!!) because you don’t actually perceive things the same after wearing them for extended periods 😁. The brain is a wild thing.
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 Hmmm.....I work with high powered lasers and wear red colored laser goggles which block all colors except red. After a few minutes of wearing them and taking them off, the world seems way more colorful and vivid. You mean something like that with brown tint sunglasses?
Sort of, yes. Since it’s not eliminating ALL of the spectrum except one specific area the brain can tune it a little bit. Similiar to how cataracts are gradual and unnoticed until they get very bad :)
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 I get it, I have a pair of Wine red graduated non-polarized sunglasses. You think a brown would be distinctive enough?, I dislike green tint. So it is either brown or gray. What do you suggest?
That’s why we take them out into the real world at the end of the video, seeing it on camera even in front of a white background isn’t going to convey how our brains perceive it. (Honestly no camera ever will, but that’s a whole other discussion)
I clicked on this video because I'm trying to decide between a brown and a rose/copper lens for sunglasses. This video was totally useless. You didn't show the lenses against a white background so I could see the color. Each lens was identified as "this one here". The outdoor portion had no voice over to identify which lens color was being shown. I have no clue about various brown lens to choose after watching this. Jerry Hutchison
All valid points. This was and is intended to be the generic brown. Not at all about rose and copper. And I specifically said those videos will come later. If you watched the entire video I did say EXACTLY which lens I was using for the video recordings around 6:00, the standard brown polarized was used for all in the wild chapters. To address your specific concerns now, a copper lens will offer higher contrast, but with a stronger yellow "warm" shift affect than standard or more neutrally tuned browns. Rose is a rather weird entry IMO. As it's not really brown, but most closely on a spectograph mimics browns. Go figure. The benefits of rose are improved contrast over a normal brown, but less so than copper, while retaining better color rendering overall. These are incredible for driving due to the minimal shift of red/green while still reducing glare from a strong blue sky (why we love brown, right? Right.). And let's be honest... when in the hell in the real world are you going to put a lens up looking at a white wall, and what good at all is that going to do for you? I did this as a youtube newbie, and the comments were overwhelmingly "we want to see it in the real world". Rightfully so. So here we are years later doing what everyone wanted 😎 There will be less ambiguity when we whittle this down in the future videos between which lens is which. Keep in mind.. you clicked on a video about brown lenses. 🤔 rose and copper aren't actually brown, but tuned variations that are never actually sold as brown 🤯
@@ThatGlassesGuy03 I was wondering the same thing about rose/copper and brown (i'm not the original guy who posted), but glad to have found your reply. Haven't been able to find your video on rose-copper yet though.
What do you think, is brown the lens for you? Maybe more yellow or more rose?
Loving this lens color series! You're a true pro Man, keep it up ;-)

Hi! And between green mirrored sunglasses with brown or grey base, which one do you prefer for driving?
Green mirror + brown
Sorry, missed this one somehow, but largely I agree with the above. And for an off the shelf lens the revo evergreen does a good job there 🙂
After see this. I ask myself how would look Transitions Drivewear lens, but mirrored. I saw them with blue, green, gold, blue, etc mirrors at rx-safety glasses and thought that maybe could be a good combination
We do it pretty often honestly. In fact drivewear with gold mirror is how I think it should always be packaged. 🤷♂️
Do you wear light tinted perscription glasses inside, or would that be considered strange?
Not strange at all, it’s extremely common today and I own several pairs with fashion tints myself.

Is brown good for driving at night I'm getting a drown/yellow lens to us day and night u think it will work good

Isn't Brown tint a tad depressing?, makes everything look like evening sunset time.

Honestly brown feels like a fever.
Your chosen purple or green backgrounds make it impossible to see the colored lenses you use as samples to explain your discussion. Very frustrating.
That’s why we take them out into the real world at the end of the video, seeing it on camera even in front of a white background isn’t going to convey how our brains perceive it. (Honestly no camera ever will, but that’s a whole other discussion)
