Green Day
03-2008
Much like Green Day, the
juvenile rock band formed in
1987 as part of the punk rock
scene in Berkeley, Calif. and
still hot today, the color green
has staying power. It’s a fashion
mainstay. A little bit retro. A lot
modern. And very now in its
political correctness, green has
long been a favorite of top
eyewear designers.

THE GREENING EFFECT OF LENSES
- Green provides contrast in low light and reduces eye
strain in bright light.
- Green is a standard multi-use color for everyday wear.
- Green can slightly skew how color is perceived. The
amount of change varies depending on whether
the lens is more gray/green or green/gray.
- Dark green makes an excellent all-around
outdoor base tint.
