I had a similar problem with the glasses I used to wear under my motor helmet. I liked amber lenses for early morning when it wasn’t bright enough for full tint, but I still wanted to cut down on the glare.

I kept getting caught by traffic lights that changed to red ‘out of nowhere’ and couldn’t figure out why. After the 3rd or 4th time I realized that this was a pattern and not just me not paying attention.
i was waiting for a left turn arrow to clear, and when it turned yellow, it had no color. The glasses were the same shade as the yellow signal, and when it changed, I couldn’t see it.
Those glasses were great for trails, since they really made the reds and greens pop, especially in low light, but never wore them on the street again.
