I totally disagree.
I base this opinion on optical physics, the science of which has been long set and proven.
Optical glass filters, such as the Schott GG/OG UV filters do not rely on coatings, they use an colloidal process that activates during a heat-striking operation, and once activated, do not ever change back.
There is one filter, Schott GG400, which is a base-line for measuring UV cut-off. It's 50% transmission point is at 400 nm, and the color of the filter is a pale straw yellow.

Another is the Schott GG395, which is clear in color.
The 'gold standard' for filter property discussion can be found here:

And again, I will remind you that it doesn't matter WHAT material the filter is made from, glass, plastic, monomer, polymer, or what constituent components are added to it. The result is the exact same regardless.
Any time you change the transmission/absorbtion properties of a given material inside the boundaries of the visible light spectrum, through any means, you also change its apparent color. Again, this is basic optical physics.
This is, and always has been the reason for reluctance on the buyers side to purchase UV/Blue Light filtering lenses: unacceptable (to the consumer) color shifts.
