Which tint is commonly known as 'blue blocker'?

Explanation:
Blue-blocking lenses work by filtering out a portion of blue light from screens and bright environments. Brown tints are commonly used for this purpose because they absorb blue wavelengths while still letting enough other colors through to preserve a warm, comfortable view and good contrast. That makes them a practical choice for reducing eye strain without overly distorting color perception. A blue tint wouldn’t block blue light; it would pass it through, and green or gray tints are neutral or not specifically optimized to filter blue light as effectively as brown/or amber tints.
