    Help on Ray Ban tint color

    Looking for a tint that resembles the sort of grayish brown Ray Ban tint, not the G15 gray/green color. The tint we have seems to be more of an orange brown color.

    Here's what I'm looking for:

    You can tint a lens like that easy enough.

    Steve, That is a basic grey at about 25% absorption over the whole lens with a brown tinted gradient over it, and you can do it as dark as you want or need.

    if it were me, i would try doing a quick dunk in a gray tint to get the entire lens, super light like a 10% ish, then do a brown gradient ... good luck duplicating tints is .........................

    fun?

    I realize that I can tint that with a combination of grays and browns but I was just hoping to switch to a less orange brown tint color anyway. I was looking at BPI and about 5 different colors seem to all look the same. Was just hoping somebody had found a tint color that they're already using that is similar to this.

    If you are looking at BPI, the closest one appears to be The Swiss Chocolate tint. Even with that tint you may have to combo dip to get the exact shade you are looking for

    Contact BPI and tell them that you are looking for the closest color they have to a B-15.
