The specimen
Lens comparison
The same seven scenes, one locked exposure. This one is loaded against Prizm Road.
How brightness is shown. Every lens was shot at one locked exposure set on the bare sensor, so True exposure is the real light transmission. Your eye adapts, so a dark lens never looks that dark in life: Eye adapted raises each image by its measured transmission (perceived = transmission^0.5). Colour only normalises every lens to the same brightness to isolate the tint.

Measured figures are linear transmission against the clear control under one locked exposure, not a laboratory VLT. Oakley's stated figure is the number to quote.
What it is
The heaviest gold mirror in the set on the outside. Through the lens it is a warm brown that shifts toward olive across the sample, which is the mirror coating varying across the curve rather than the base tint changing.
