    Gray or Brown Transition vi for brown frames

    Hello! I just ordered some new frames through my eye center. I got some brown plastic frames with lilac on the inside. What transition color, gray or brown, do you think would compliment them the best? I think brown, but the clerk thought gray.

    Thank you,
    J

    In this case I don't think we are getting in diagnostics by offering suggestions on color matches. :)

    LOL!!!

    Ok, ok........I'll play nice (since its your Birthday ;))!!


    I suggest that you discuss Transitions Splitz with your Eye Care Professional. You may want to ask about Sunsensors as well! Hopefully Chris Ryser may pop in and suggest a triple gradient tint of some sort to match the frame, your hair and skin tone, and the shade of the dollar bills spent on the above options!!

    Color choices should be discussed with a qualified ECP

    The color of the lens should match the visual task that the patient will be using the eyewear for as well as their own color key. As a matter of fact, color is very technical and this puts it into a technical question.

    Brown 30% top tint

    Pink or rose middle 10-15%

    Bottom 30% blue

    Maybe your *Clerk* should have suggested some optical artwork by Billy Brock as well!

    That would absolutely stunning. Decide for yourself whether I mean "stunning" in a good way or bad way.

    Fezz, no, no, no. The pink goes on the bottom, the blue in the middle.

    Oh, the clerk was probably what we refer to as an optician.

    YOU may refer to them as an optician...but, I sure don't! The poster was correct...CLERK!

    Off track. Since no one has anything constructive to add, thread closed.
