Thanks for any tips.
How To Order Tinted Glasses
Tinted lenses are great for outdoor enthusiasts, athletes, and anyone who wants to add a pop of color to their life. In addition to making your environment appear brighter, they reduce glare, improve contrast, and enhance your depth perception.
Whether you want a light tint for a more fashion-forward look or darker tint sunglasses that comfortably shield your eyes from the sun, adding a tint to your next pair of Zennis is easy.
Standard vs. Gradient Tints
Standard tints are one solid color from the top to the bottom of the lens. For outdoor use, a darker sunglass tint is best. Zenni offers the following sunglass tints: dark gray, dark amber, and dark green.
Our fashion tints have a light tint (varying between 10-50%, depending on color) and can be worn indoors or outdoors. While they don’t offer much shade from the sun, they will add a colorful pop to everyday glasses. Zenni offers the following fashion tint options:
- Light Gray
- Light Amber
- Blue
- Light Green
- Fuchsia
- Lavender
- Rose
- Yellow
Gradient tints are darkest at the top of the lens and gradually get lighter toward the bottom. They are a chic choice for outdoor sunglasses. Our gradient tint options include
- Smoke Gray
- Dusk Blue
- Sage
- Golden Amber
- Desert Rose
- Ultraviolet
- Neon Pink
- Electric Blue.
Which color is right for me?
Gray tints help provide true color perception, as well as reduce fatigue and glare. It is the most popular tint for general-purpose use, providing the best sun-blocking and anti-glare protection on bright, sunny days.
Amber is a good all-purpose sunglass tint because it enhances contrast, especially outdoors. While amber tint can distort the “true color” of the objects you’re seeing, many wearers prefer the warmth it adds to their vision.
PINK/ROSE
Pink tints help reduce eyestrain, improve depth perception and road visibility, and aid in contrast adjustment. They are great to wear for sports that involve speed, such as biking or racing, and for situations where you need to be sure of your footing, such as running, hiking, or rock climbing.
Blue tints help reduce glare and enhance color perception, making them popular among golfers and skiers. Blue has also been said to have a calming effect for those with anxiety or “visual stress.”
Green tints are great for low-light conditions since they help to diminish glare, brighten shadows, and are known to help improve visual sharpness. They are great to wear for baseball, golfing, and fishing.
Yellow-tinted glasses provide additional sharpness and contrast to your field of vision in outdoor or indoor environments. Yellow-tinted glasses are a great choice when skiing, doing target practice, and even playing video computer games.
PURPLE/LAVENDER
Purple tints balance color perception and provide contrast against green backgrounds. They provide natural color perception while shading the eye, making them a great choice for golfers.

I have noticed on bright sunny days that the Normal setting looks too contrasty and has a purplish cast especially in the shadows.
Are you using the Normal setting or one of the other options? I have found on sunny days that D-Cinelike yields very nice neutral color results (custom settings of 0,-1,-1) that may benefit from a little color grading (slightly higher saturation, mainly) but are fine just as they are. This is with WB on ‘Sunny’ and with the appropriate ND filter (I’m using the PolarPro ND32 & 16 mostly.)
On cloudy (low contrast) days I’m finding more work needs to be done in post when using D-Cinelike.

Check your white balance settings.
I set mine to be fixed = cloud. Don’t use AWB (auto white balance) as it will cause colour temp changes if you are transitioning from sky to ground video. This purlplish hue happens in video with fireworks also. The AWB goes skitz and does not know what colour temps to lock in.

Thanks. I am on the Normal settings. Should be sunny tomorrow. I’ll try D-Cinelike and see how it goes.
I was also reminded (watched another video) that I can do a custom white balance and set my own temp. The issue there is, when you are using in the bright sun, you can’t always see the screen well enough to make a manual adjustment. That’s why I’d like to find an auto mode I can trust. Thanks for the tips.
