I think the color of lens depends on the type of environment(indoor/outdoor/etc), weather condition, target color, type of shooting, and length of range.

For very bright days I use a darker color (like most people). On overcast days or when it is getting dark, I use an orange color lens. It seems to make things brighter and I can stay out a little longer than clear lenses.

muzzelloader69,

Yes to both of your questions. It can be personal preference or even necessity as well as particular colors serve the purpose of enhancing the conditions that you're shooting in.

Some folks don't see certain colors as well as other folks, given the conditions so they choose a lens color to help them.

Colors can enhance or detract from your perception of the target, helping or hindering your shooting.

Best.

Also may depend on being partialy color blind. Believe it or not on some days I can't se an orange rabbit on green grass. I have to wait untill it hops up or the back ground changes. A brown tint solves the problem.
