Ski goggle / visor tint

I read some where the other day that a yellow tint is supposed to be good for flat light? I checked my ski goggles, and they have an orange tint, where as my girl friends ones have a blue tint? Is this good or bad, what does it mean? Just curious ;)

I generally carry a pair of v.dark shades and also goggles with yellow lenses. In general:

- Yellow and Orange lenses filter out blue light, which works very well in poor visibility and fog - enhancing shadows in the snow so you can see bumps better.

- Red is supposed to be good for grey days, though I've never really seen any advantage over Yellow myself.

- Darker tints (green, blue, dark brown) are best for very bright conditions as they level the apparent contrast as well as the brightness to make your eyes more comfortable.

- Polarized lenses reduce glare and reflection but may be too dark at either end of the day. 8) 8)

Cool, I was always curious about that. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.
