Which statement best describes the lens colors authorized for wear with the uniform?

• A. Lens colors must be traditional gray, brown, or dark green shades.
• B. Lens colors may be vibrant red or yellow.
• C. Lens colors must be blue or purple.
• D. Lens color is not regulated.

Answer: (A)

Eyewear with the Army uniform must use conservative, neutral lens colors that keep a low profile and don’t draw attention. Gray, brown, or dark green lenses are the approved neutral tints because they reduce glare and preserve a subdued look that blends with the uniform. Bright red, yellow, blue, or purple lenses are too conspicuous and would violate the uniform appearance policy. There is a regulation governing lens color, so it’s not correct to say lens color isn’t regulated.
