Wondering which color of Transitions lenses is best for you?

While both colors of transition lenses ultimately accomplish the same thing. There are some differences worth noting between transition brown vs grey.

Most notable in the differences between transition brown vs grey are the contrast, darkness, and color compatibility. If you are looking for better contrast to increase visual acuity for things like golfing and fishing, then transition brown is the color for you. If you are looking for the absolute darkest transition lens possible, you should veer towards transition gray.

1. TRANSITIONS GRAY

  • Transition brown lenses enhance contrast and visual acuity in the sun. This makes them best for those looking for golfing glasses, fishing glasses, or enhancement glasses.

  • Transition grey lenses do not alter colors. So the colors you see will be true, only darker while wearing transition gray lenses in the sun. Transition brown lenses do make colors appear different because everything is tinted brown. If this will be a problem for you, you should stick with grey.

  • Many people have no problem choosing transition brown vs grey. This happens, because they simply match the color of the lenses to the frame. We suggest you do the same if you are not concerned with the benefits of the color.

  • Both colors will turn clear when out of the sun. This means there is no difference between transition brown vs grey when indoors or at night.

    Interesting blog post! I’m curious to know if you have any recommendations for lenses that are photocromic (change color with light)?

    Is it possible to see everything yellow through a grey xtractive with the blue mirror? My eyecare provider insists the base is grey but I am having difficulty accepting this when looking through it everything looks yellow! Should I send them to the transitions company for examination?

  4. Alyssa Danchuk says:

    I got my first pair of transitions and they were the best. They darkened very much like sunglasses while I was driving and out on the light. It was great. Wore them for 5 years even though the prescription changed, I was able to wear them with a light astigmatism. Now I got a new pair and they suck. They don’t darken like they used to. What happened? Did I have a rogue pair?

      Hi Alyssa,

      Did you purchase them on the same place. Probably used different coating products.
