Looking at a lens that is about a 20% beige indoors and turns med dark
grey outside, fairly quickly. Anyone know what that is?

Just a guess, but it might be a SunSensor from Signet Armorlite.

Another possibility is Rodenstock's Colormatic- they change about half way
inside the car and that may account for the darker tint in office lighting. Or
it's an old Transitions lens that's not fading properly. Good luck.

are they new lenses ?

Based on Robert's posts, I'm thinking it's a home grown mid index lens,
cast with a little extra pigment so they don't look too wierd indoors.
They are new, in one of the Wiley X gasket/military styles. I'm not
going to let Wiley make the lenses, because they charge retail prices to
eyecare people, way more than my own optical lab would. I'm going to
put them in total dark tonight and see what happens. The patient kind
of liked how they look. Unfortunately I can't add any tint to a
Transitions lens. So I might go for one of the Colormatics or whatever
and add some tint?
