What Are Amber Glasses?
Amber glasses are eyeglasses with frames in a warm, translucent color between pale honey and deep cognac. Light passes partly through the frame, so it glows instead of blocking — that's why an amber frame looks softer on the face than black or solid brown in the same shape.People also use 'amber glasses' for glasses with amber-tinted lenses. On this page, amber describes the frame. Lenses are clear unless you choose a tint.

Amber Glasses FAQ
What are amber glasses?
Amber glasses are eyeglasses with frames in a warm, translucent color between pale honey and deep cognac. The name is also used for glasses with amber-tinted lenses. At Aoolia, amber glasses means the frame color; lenses are clear unless you add a tint.
Which amber shade should I choose?
Start with the color already in your eyes. Gold flecks around the pupil suit Honey, an even golden-brown iris suits Cognac, and dark brown eyes suit Amber. Blue or gray eyes get the most contrast from Honey or Amber.
Why does my amber frame look darker than the photo?
Because the frame is see-through. On your face, your skin shows through the acetate, so the shade usually reads a little deeper than it does on a white background. If you want it lighter on you, go one shade lighter.
What's the difference between amber and tortoise glasses?
Amber is one even, see-through color. Tortoise starts with a similar amber base but adds darker brown spots, so it reads busier and darker. If you like the warmth but want a pattern, see our tortoise glasses.
Can I get amber-tinted lenses in these frames?
Yes. Pick any frame and choose the amber tint when you select your lenses. A light tint keeps colors close to normal; a darker tint shifts whites toward yellow and makes blues look muted.
