Does anyone know where a chart is that lists the best lighting conditions for each color of goggles? Years ago I saw such a chart, but none of the swim suppliers have this info now. With so many colors of goggles, it would be helpful to have quick access to a chart so you can see what color would be best for poor or low light conditions, bright sunny conditions, indoor/outdoor, etc. Thanks!:applaud:

Amber Lens
An Amber lens provides excellent vision in both high and low light environments. In low level light (indoor swimming pool etc) amber lenses amplify the light meaning clearer vision. In high light levels (bright sunshine, outdoors etc) they reduce glare which also helps to provide better vision. An ideal lens colour for all environments.
Clear Lens
Clear lens provides a natural light, which makes it ideal for low light, overcast conditions where maximum visibility is required. Clear lens is also ideal for consistent lighting as it provides accurate vision without filtering out colour. Ideal for indoor pools and dark conditions.
Blue / Violet Lens
These colours are designed to allow a moderate level of light into the eye but they still provide some protection from glare. Its a practical colour for changing conditions. Ideal for everyday events and training.
Smoke Lens
Dark lenses provide protection from high light levels (direct sunshine and bright conditions). They have the same principles as sun glasses. Ideal for swimming out in the sun.
