Which prizm lens to see real color?

[Tinooo76]

Hello!
I'm about to buy my first oakley and i do not know which lens to choose!
Actually i chose the model: turbine or drop point ( any suggestion on similar model?)
But i want a lens with neutral colour and the only option seems to be the prizm black polarized.
I tried the prizm deep water and sapphire polarized, but both have a pink/red tone, that i do not like.
I just want a lens in which i can see the real color, just darker or with more contrast, like the black prizm polarized, but that outside has a better colour, not just black, but blue, red or green
Usage would be both winter and summer, sea and snow. And running as well.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

If he cannot or will not I am pretty sure I know who else can

In all seriousness, closest Prizm is probably Black Iridium Prizm. Not sure if there are any neutral Prizm lenses. I could be wrong

Daily Prizm?

...a pink/red tone, that i do not like.

As I understand it, the Prizm lenses are all a pinkish base lens.
If it's that reddish tint that you don't like, why choose a Prizm lens at all?
Both Ice, and Emerald are neutral lenses (use a grey base lens).
If Oakley doesn't provide a lens you want, there's always the custom chop option...

Prizm bases seem to range from rose to brown, like the jump from G30 to VR28 has evolved into more fine-tuned options.

Prizm black definitely has a bit of a sepia tone to it. Best color neutrality is BIP or Ice in my opinion

I really liked BIP (Black iridium Polarized) until I found Prizm Black Polarized. They seem to be a shade lighter, but there is something that just makes wearing my drop points better. So much so, I bought a second pair of the same thing, and third pair with prizm tungsten Polarized, and I’m looking into a fourth with prizm shallow Polarized. I have gas cans with prizm daily Polarized, and I like them on cloudy days, but prefer my prizm Black Polarized every other days.

Thank you all for the replies!
I choose Prizm because they are the best lenses as far as i know, but i do not like that reddish and i though there were different tones for each lenses, not all pink based. I think i will go for the prizm black polarized, as it’almost the only solution, as daily and iridium are quite similar. I like to see in the , but i do not like to see it out!
Ice and emerald are not available for deop point and turbine.
Thanks!

I know this is an old thread but it keeps coming up for me in Google regarding on prizm black base color.

Prizm does not seem to be always be pink or red or rose based. It depends on the type of lens to highlight certain colors and, if there is the slightest hint of magenta or whatever color might be used to increase contrast, it is not visible where there are other dominant colors.

Tungsten is definitely not rose or pink in nature. Prizm lenses are good for bringing out preferential hues for different situations. For any non-sports activity, I prefer Prizm Grey and Black because the color base impact is minimal. Prizm Daily Polarized is a nice lens to look through but it is slightly rose / red / pink although the effect is subtle. Most of the Iridium lenses are not Prizms and are just HD such as the violet iridium polarized pair that I have. That effect looks more like my Tungstens even though Oakley says neutral "similar to grey". It has a noticeable yellowish/greenish effect that is very gentle on the eyes and is a great pair for the sun. My sports specific lenses are usually rose or reddish tinted to contrast, such as a white ball against the sky. It's also used often for bikers to see road marks more clearly. The more I've worn it the less I prefer it as a daily lens. I think prizm grey and black are probably the cleanest to real color and those versions in Iridium without prizm might be a shade closer and also look very nice and clear. Not sure of the others except for Ruby, which is another interesting lens that is also amberish/yellow and not very close to accurate colors.
