Ok , so weeks ago i ordered the Ruby Iridium juliet lenses,and they we're delivered today.
Am i right in thinking they look like fire iridium? ( or is it just my imagination )
It does say on the Oakley box " Ruby "

Biggest difference between ruby and fire for a while now has been what they are like to look through rather than at. Your rubies should be grey/blue neutral rather than the greenish contrast tinge of fire.
 
So they are ruby's..just not the same shade.? (unfortunately i don't have any fire iridium lenses to compare them to )
Grey / blue - checking....and checked,,yup its a grey / blue netural.

Correct. I have ruby and fire that you would struggle to tell apart from in front :/ And another pair of ruby that are looking gloriously red this evening... There's a bit of pot luck in how the colours come out.

Top right are x-metal/ruby, middle left are plasma/ruby and middle right are polished/fire. The rubies in the x-metal are disappointingly close to fire. Might swap them for the redder lenses in the plasma actually...
