I find that yellow or other warm-colored sunglasses have a noticeable positive effect on my mood.

Not sure why you were downvoted. Tried to reverse that for you. I agree actually. I just love the way the world looks through them, especially nature. And most sunglasses put a gray tint on the world instead of making it warmer. Why would anyone want that? That's why I said you'd never go back once you tried it.

I much prefer to see the world in accurate colours.

To each his own. But if you've never tried them and that's a response on principles rather than experience, you really should give them a try. You might be surprised.

My point though was that sunglasses of any kind skew color accuracy. But of the possible skews, amber-tinted sunglasses really are nice and don't seem to detract from what you see the way gray-tinted (in reality, a strange blue-green) lenses do. I'm not talking blue-blockers here. Just regular, subtle amber/brown lenses.

I'm being targeted for mass down-voting. Thanks for caring!
