Blue Light Blocking Colors

RainbowOPTX are more than just mood boosting colors! Our warm colors (rose, red, orange and yellow) lenses are also great for blocking the harsh blue light emitted from artificial light sources like overhead lights and electronic device screens that can be the cause of eye stress and migraines for some people.

How do you know if blue light is being blocked? It's simple: If you can still see blue light, it's not being blocked.

Blue and orange are opposite colors on the color wheel, which means if you took full spectrum light it would be white light, but if you removed the blue light then the remaining light would be orange color. Orange is essentially the absence of blue, and our orange sunglasses are orange because they've blocked all the blue, which is why they're so good for blocking blue light! And conversely, any "blue light blocking" lenses that aren't color lenses means they aren't blocking blue light. Only color lenses can actually block blue light. Remember, if you can still see blue light, they're not blocking blue light. 

We've tested all our lenses and found that our Rose lenses block 40% of blue light, Yellow lenses block 60% of blue light, Orange lenses block 95% of blue light, and Red lenses block 98% of blue light.
