Hi

It's not a matter of color. To reduce glare, you need a lens that is polarized, regardless of the color. Polarization is like a Ventian blind - it allows only wavelengths traveling in the same direction to reach your eye. Glare is caused when wavelengths of light, scattered from all directions, reach your eye.
