The Best Sunglasses Lens Color for Driving

Everyone appreciates a reliable pair of sunglasses while driving. The sun can often distract you with glares from passing cars, or it can get entirely in the way of traffic lights at just the right time of day.

The best sunglasses for driving should contain the following specifications:

• Protection from blue light, UVA/UVB light and infrared light.


• Polarized lens to block glare.


• A color with natural contrast.

The best colors for sunglasses while driving are gray, brown and AGX green. These colors provide the right natural contrast to observe the road and scenery safely through a complementary perspective. These two are Randolph’s highest recommended to wear while driving:

Top 4 Mirror Sunglasses Colors

Randolph fans can enjoy a range of mirrored colored lenses. But when it comes to finding the right mirrored lens, it can be tough to know what to look for.

What is a “mirrored” sunglass lens?

Randolph Engineering uses metallic flash coatings to give certain pairs of sunglasses a reflective outer layer. When there is a single layer of metallic flash coating, the sunglasses are “flash mirrored.” When there is a multi-layer flash coating, the sunglasses are “mirrored.” More layers of the metallic coating are added to increase reflective properties.

Among all of Randolph’s sunglasses, Atlantic Blue is the most popular multi-layer flash finish. This gives the lens a full mirrored effect. Our most popular single layer flash finish is Northern Lights, a cobalt-blue metallic flash mirror lens with a tan gradient base.
