SmokeRise1 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Does anyone use vermillion? I'm looking for an all around pair of polarized sunglasses that I can use on cloudy days as well as bright sunny days. Costa and a few other companies sell vermillion, which looks pretty much like orange to me. Just wondering what conditions these would be good for. Quote
Super User Marty Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Posted February 9, 2011 This is what the Cabela's Buyers Guide says: "Vermilion is an excellent tint for increased depth perception in low light. Vermilion increases contrasts of objects against blue and green backgrounds." To see what they say about other colors, go to any sunglasses item on their site and click "Buyer's Guide." Quote
bass or bass ? Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I use copper color lenses in my Cocoons. Quote
lavbasser Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Smoke, I spoke with Costa last week. They are not phasing our vermillion and sunrise. Quote

lavbasser Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 my mistake. They said they are phasing out vermillion and sunrise. Lou Quote
perchpunk22 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I like to use copper or amber for an all around color. blue if the sun is beating down Quote
SmokeRise1 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 I guess Costa is phasing out Vermillion because nobody likes it. That is reason enough for me to switch my focus to Amber. I have a pair of Maui Jim's in Amber glass that I really like, but they are just to heavy for me. I will try to sell them on the fleamarket forum and use the money for the Costas. Thanks everyone for the info. Quote
