What's your favorite lens color?
Blue mirrors out on open water but the green mirrors/amber inside tint are better for all around and when there’s shady spots..… the blue mirrors come up short when fishing a wooded shoreline with sun behind it.. the dark spots in the shade get too dark..
that’s my experience..
I wear Costas and started with blue mirror for most fishing and green mirror only for sight fishing. I probably wear the silver mirror most of the time now even for driving. The mirror is really just there to knock down the glare. The blue and silver mirror have a grey tint/base while the green mirror is an amber tint.
It's hard for me to wear amber lenses all day every day. It bugs me a bit.

I like a copper or yellow lens helps to see into the water
Open water is gray. It blocks the sun
I have both but I prefer the green mirror/amber lens most of the time.
Costa green lens most of the time. Silver for sight fishing and blue for really bright sunlight.

I like Costa 580G lenses. Blue mirror when it's sunny, green mirror when it's hazy or cloudy. I just picked up a pair of the new King Tide 8's. They're the most comfortable frame I've found since they discontinued the Man-O-War version years back. The Tackle Trap is a Costa dealer and always has a great deal for BBC members, just give the shop a call if interested - 315 234 1050.
