Goggle Lenses - What lens in what light.

I was wondering if anyone could give me a quick rundown on which color lense (eg. Pink Iridium, blue iridium, black iridium, amber polarized ETC) is best under which condition.

For example: Blue iridium in low light conditions. (I dont know if this is right)

Is there a table or something which sets it out?

Thanks.

black iridium and fire - great for sunny days. pretty damn dark.

blue iridium - sort of the middle of the road lense lets in some light but wont hurt your eyes on sunny days.

pink iridium - ideal for clouds/stormy weather. some ppl are ok with it in the sun, i personally wouldnt reccommend it

hi yellow - ideal lense for cloudly conditions, helps a shitton in flat light

hi persimmon - alot of ppl think its the best all around lens, but its not mirrored if your lookin for steeze

Exactly what i was looking for.

Ive currently got blue iridium in the A frames, but thinking of getting some crowbars, so i want a lense for more overcast conditions.

hi yellow would be dope. pink would work well if you want the mirrored steeze but its not gonna give you quite as much definition in flat light i dont think.

clear would obviously be the best but yellow will suffice most of the time.

sorry to thread jack
but i was wondering which of the goggles are mirrored. i ski 50 50 night and day and i can only get 1 lens. i would want them to be mirrored or at least not able to see my eyes.
