What are coloured tinted sunglasses?

Coloured tinted sunglasses have a lens dyed in a distinct colour, such as amber, rose, blue, green or jade, rather than a classic neutral grey or brown. The colour is mostly a style choice, giving your look personality and a soft wash of tone. The tint can be light and translucent for a fashion-forward feel, or deeper for stronger sun. Whatever the colour, the protection comes from UV400, not the tint itself.

In one sentence

Coloured tints are a style statement, so choose a colour that flatters you and let UV400 do the protecting.

How to choose a tint colour

Start with your undertone. Warm undertones tend to suit amber, rose, honey and warm browns, while cool undertones are lifted by blue, grey, jade and green. If you want the tint to pop, pick a colour that contrasts with your usual wardrobe; if you want it to blend, choose one that echoes colours you already wear. Our skin tone guide helps you find your undertone, and the lens colour guide explains how each colour behaves in daily light.

How to style coloured tints

A coloured tint is already a statement, so let it lead and keep everything else calm. They look sharpest against simple, solid outfits that give the colour room to breathe, and they bring instant personality to a relaxed look. Match the mood to the moment: soft rose or amber for daytime and events, cooler blue or jade for a modern, understated edge. If you own more than one, treat them like accessories and switch by outfit.

Do tinted lenses still protect your eyes?

Yes. Tint colour and tint darkness are about comfort and style, not protection. The protection comes from UV400, which blocks all ultraviolet light up to 400 nanometres, and every Rawbare pair includes it as standard. A light, pretty tint with UV400 protects your eyes just as fully as a dark one. If you want to understand how dark a tint should be for different conditions, our lens categories guide covers it.

Frequently asked questions

Q1 What are coloured tinted sunglasses?

They are sunglasses with a lens dyed in a distinct colour, such as amber, rose, blue or jade, rather than a neutral grey or brown. The colour is mainly a style choice, while UV400 provides the eye protection.

Q2 Do tinted lenses still protect your eyes from UV?

Yes, as long as they carry UV400. Tint colour and darkness affect style and comfort, not protection. Every Rawbare pair includes UV400, which blocks all ultraviolet up to 400 nanometres regardless of the tint.

Q3 Which tint colour should I choose?

Match it to your undertone. Warm undertones suit amber, rose and warm browns, while cool undertones suit blue, grey, jade and green. Choose a contrasting colour to stand out or a familiar one to blend with your wardrobe.

Q4 Are coloured tinted sunglasses in style?

Yes. Colour-tinted lenses are a popular way to add personality to a look, from soft translucent tints to bolder shades. Because they read as a statement, they pair best with simple, understated outfits.

Q5 Can you wear coloured tints every day?

Yes. Lighter tints are easy to wear daily and suit most conditions, while deeper tints are better for strong sun. Choose a darkness that matches the light you are usually in, and rotate colours to suit your outfit.
