Wondering which color of Transitions lenses is best for you?
While both colors of transition lenses ultimately accomplish the same thing. There are some differences worth noting between transition brown vs grey.
Most notable in the differences between transition brown vs grey are the contrast, darkness, and color compatibility. If you are looking for better contrast to increase visual acuity for things like golfing and fishing, then transition brown is the color for you. If you are looking for the absolute darkest transition lens possible, you should veer towards transition gray.
Brown vs. Grey Transitions Lenses
Here are the major differences between transition brown vs grey lenses:
1. TRANSITIONS GRAY
Transition gray lenses are slightly darker than transition brown lenses. Which make them best for those looking for the darkest possible transition lenses.
Transition brown lenses enhance contrast and visual acuity in the sun. This makes them best for those looking for golfing glasses, fishing glasses, or enhancement glasses.
Transition grey lenses do not alter colors. So the colors you see will be true, only darker while wearing transition gray lenses in the sun. Transition brown lenses do make colors appear different because everything is tinted brown. If this will be a problem for you, you should stick with grey.
2. TRANSITIONS BROWN
Many people have no problem choosing transition brown vs grey. This happens, because they simply match the color of the lenses to the frame. We suggest you do the same if you are not concerned with the benefits of the color.
Both colors will turn clear when out of the sun. This means there is no difference between transition brown vs grey when indoors or at night.

Is it possible to see everything yellow through a grey xtractive with the blue mirror? My eyecare provider insists the base is grey but I am having difficulty accepting this when looking through it everything looks yellow! Should I send them to the transitions company for examination?
Can brown tinted transition lenses change the color of traffic lights while driving?
Brown will enhance the colors but they will not change the color of the traffic lights
Interesting blog post! I’m curious to know if you have any recommendations for lenses that are photocromic (change color with light)?
