 Many shooters are comfortable in lenses that are yellow or orange. Lenses in these hues block haze and blue light and enhance the orange color of the target. The brighter yellow the lens color is, the better it is for use at night. 
Sunglasses That Are On Target»
Alternatively, a light purple color, which is actually a combination of a neutral gray and a vermilion, is good for enhancing the orange of the target against a background of tall trees. Vermilion itself is useful to highlight conditions where there is poor background, such as trees, and to enhance the target against the background. Gray is a neutral, or "true," color that allows the wearer to see all colors as they are. Gray shooting lenses do not enhance the target, but they are good in bright sunlight.
3 Characteristics Of Good Sunglasses For Hunters Or Shooters:
1. Protection!
Shooters of all kinds require eye protection, whether at the range or in the forest. All kinds of shooting activities take place in close proximity to the face. Shotguns and rifles are held on the shoulder, while handguns are no more than an arm's length away. All firearms have a certain amount of recoil, and many shooting activities take place outdoors, where wind, sun and dust are perennial challenges. Good eye protection makes sense and often is required during organized matches or while shooting on a range. Some rangemasters allow shooters to wear any kind of eyewear they like, but other times certain safety standards come into play. For An Uninterrupted View Of The Field»
 For those who need prescription lenses in order to focus well or who want to have the best shooting eyewear available, shooting glasses in styles similar to aviator sunglasses are always popular. The eyewear that is designed for shooters, however, has a few more features to make you more comfortable while using a firearm. The frame styles generally have a "sweat bar" that runs the width of the frame above the lenses to add more stability to the frame and keep it steady on the face. The frames are also made in a rounded shape, to avoid sharp corners that could jab your face. Take a look at Fit Over Sunglasses»

2. Frame Features
The temples of shooting glasses are often designed with spring hinges that allow the frame to flex without breaking when recoil occurs. Temples also wrap around the ear in the "cable" style to help keep the frame in place, and the tips of the temples may feature little rounded ends, or "balls," to enhance comfort. Nose pads are adjustable so that the frame rests in the optimum position, and softer silicone materials are often used for additional comfort. Some shooting glasses feature bridges that adjust to one of several locking positions so that the glasses are positioned just right for any shot. The frames are constructed of any number of ophthalmic materials, including titanium and other metals, regular plastic and tough polycarbonate.

3. The Right Lenses!
Polycarbonate lenses with a scratch-resistant hard coat and built-in ultraviolet protection are the lenses of choice for shooting glasses. This lens material is highly impact-resistant to provide you with maximum "blow-back" and "bounce-back" protection. Many nonprescription shooting glasses come with several pairs of interchangeable lenses for use under different lighting and atmospheric conditions. Prescription lenses can be made to order in whatever color the wearer deems most appropriate. Plus polarized shooting lenses can be made in almost any color. Polarized lenses filter out glare and reflection, so outdoor vision is enhanced.
