Mirrored Lenses-FL(Flash) : A coloured coating applied to the outside of the lens. The coating can be applied over any base colour lens, i. e. vermillon, amber, grey. Due to their reflective properties, any mirrored lens will appear darker since it will reflect a certain amount of light trying to reach the eye. A mirrored lens will also add an extra buffer against glare. Mirrored or "Flash" lenses are available in a variety of different colours. Unless otherwise marked, these lenses use Vermillon as a base colour. The following colours are available as a Flash coating : Gold Flash, Amber Flash, Bollé 100 Flash; Blue Flash; Silver Flash; Green Flash; Gun Flash.

La couleur des verres solaires est une question de goût. Il faut savoir que le bleu et le rose modifient la perception des couleurs. Les verres photochromiques (qui foncent lorsque la lumière augmente et inversement) existent également dans différentes couleurs (brun, gris, vert). Les verres «miroirs» qui peuvent être bleutés, argentés ou dorés, permettent de lutter contre la réverbération. Ils sont très utiles dans les sports de l'extrême et sont devenus, grâce à un phénomène de mode, très utilisés en ville. [...] LOUBSOL pour tous les sports d'action : bateau, char à voile, escalade, a conçu un bandeau panoramique haute performance avec 3 écrans interchangeables : fumé traitement miroir, ambre traitement flash miroir et incolore traitement UV 400.
