As you can see in the picture, the prism sapphire is the form of a lens with pink in the middle on a yellow background.

Also, the base color is gray, but when you try it on, it doesn't feel gray at all, but it feels yellow and rose

Does anyone know why lenses look like this?

Has anyone had a chance to use the Prizm lens on snow, in low light situations? Looking for that next level above a rose lens ( = Used the search feature with no luck

I believe it's a gray base lens. But once the "iridium" or "prizm.mirror" coating is added to the front some colors are selectively reflected. Therefore the reflected wavelengths don't reach your eyes. Leaving more of a "rose" lens color. So the base tint (grey) plus the mirror coating, changes what colors are transmitted.
