Shooting/Hunting

Orange is the most commonly used color for clay target shooting.  Best for overcast to average sun conditions. Orange polarized lenses enhance orange targets and improve contrast, and are generally used for shooting against an open or uncluttered background.
Violet lenses are most commonly used for shooting in average or bright sunlight.  Best for orange targets against a green or cluttered background.
Red polarized lenses are best in average or bright sunny conditions for orange, green or black targets, against green, cluttered or sky backgrounds.

Yellow is used only in overcast, hazy or night conditions.  Usually used with orange targets against varied backgrounds.  Yellow is used by hunters in low light conditions (dawn or dusk).

Blue is commonly used in average sunlight for green targets only against a desert background. 

Green is used for green targets in bright sunlight against any background

Brown is an all-purpose lens used in bright sunny situations.  Best against bright open backgrounds.

Gray is a general-purpose lens used in bright sunlight.  Gray will not enhance any target colors.
