If we can agree that the odd lense in the center of the glasses is 'GREY/GRAY' (Which it IS) then what colour are the lenses in the glasses? Brown? Red? Grey?

Answers on a postcard please and thanks for being brave enough to click this thread !!!

Ok, well here's why Im asking. I ordered GREY lenses. Like the one in the middle. When I made my order, GREY was the default setting. Had I wanted any other color than GREY I would have had to actively select a different option. I chose GREY - That was the option - GREY

These arrive and they are NOT GREY. Infact they distort all natural colours while looking through them. So I get back in touch and say, (Nicely) Hi, look, I really think that you have put the wrong lenses in... I ordered GREY (Like the lense in the middle of the photo)

This is the response:

From the image you have shared, it appears the lenses are correct.

Please note, there are two types of grey tint for prescription lenses; red-based and blue-based. It seems you have received the red-based tinted lenses and this is perfectly normal.

Hence my question - Have you ever heard of this before? to me, a GREY lense is GREY. Always has been, always will be. Now I'm being told that a 'Red Based' GREY tint is (QUOTE) "perfectly normal..."

So are they chatting shit to me, or is this something that is a genuine thing? There was no option to choose a red-tint or blue-tint - just GREY...

In other words, are they pulling my pants down, or is that really a legit thing?

Yeah, that's bullshit. Equal parts Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow will yield varying densities of gray. So, if it's heavier in one of the component colors - in this case magenta - then it's not really gray.

Well they are changing them for the blue-tint grey tomorrow - Gotta send them off though, so wont have them this side of xmas - All joking aside, they were not cheap...

Mistakes happen, but don't pee on my leg and then tell me its raining...

It's not grey. It looks slightly purple to me.

What happened to my Revo 1013 glasses that you used to wear? Best lenses ever.

Ahh yes ! I remember stealing those off of you...

Back then, I was pretty good with photoshop, however as time passed, I needed a prescription lense in my glasses. Unfortunately, I wasn't good enough at photoshop to add a prescription, so I had to stop wearing them

Plum. Easy to remember as dried plums are called pruns, and they make you shit a lot.
