Purple Haze

What you see

Violet is the strangest and the most beloved. Green disappears, so foliage goes plum and the sky goes lavender. Everything looks like the last minute before a storm, electric and quiet. Wearers describe it as the one that changes the room.

The physics in one breath

Purple passes red and blue and removes the green middle. Because green carries most of our sense of brightness, the scene dims a little and colors at both ends of the spectrum come forward.

What the brand says

Developed over more than a decade, LVB's original lens: a strong perceptual shift, an alternative approach to circadian-rhythm support, and a blue-light filter. Loving Victorious Beings, victoriousbeings.com

Where it shines

Venice at sunset (low warm sun over the lagoon). An hour from the Treviso workshop where every pair is made. Watch what the oranges and the violet do to a sunset.

Wear note

LVB's own FAQ asks you to keep Color Therapy wear to about 30 minutes a day, never to drive in them, and to remember they are not sunglasses. For wellness use only; not a medical device.
