Just getting into Trap shooting and was wondering if there is a color lens that works better at night? Or is it more personal preference?
Any info appreciated
Thanks in advance

For myself, I prefer clear lenses at night. I pasted a general piece on lens color below.
Lens Color Matters
All of the eyewear in our shooting glasses section are ANSI Z87.1-2015 certified, so does it really matter whether you want amber versus gray lenses? Oh yes, it does! Different safety glasses lens colors enhance your vision in various lighting conditions, helping you see with more clarity and depth perception. Two characteristics that every shooter needs.
Let’s break down your shooting glasses lens color options:
Yellow/Orange Lenses: Yellow and orange tinted safety glasses tend to block out “blue light,” such as the diffused haze on a cloudy day, but bring out the orange color of a practice target. These colors tend to create a more detailed line of vision, helping you to better perceive depth, and thus improve accuracy.
Amber Lenses: Amber lenses are a very popular lens color. They also block blue-light and work best in low light, cloudy days. The amber tint creates an excellent contrast between colors, helping the orange of the target stand out to you, even on those dreary days.
Purple/Blue Lenses: If you’re at a shooting range with a backdrop of beautiful trees around you, you’ll want the help of a purple or blue lens tint. These colors contribute to improving contrast, particularly against greens (trees/grass) and oranges (the target), keeping your eyes focused on the target, and only the target.
Brown Lenses: Some hunters and target shooters prefer brown lenses, as they call attention to orange colored targets. They work best in fields or other open areas, and particularly in bright sunlight. Many hunters find brown lenses are “soothing” and reduce eye strain, which helps keep them alert.
Gray Lenses: Gray is the “all around” color. Gray lenses reduce the amount of light around you, allowing you to see a balanced tone of color. It’s ideal for bright conditions and helps you get a level sense of contrast and depth.

If you have Rangers they make a lens just for it called Max Light. It's the best I've ever used. Worth every penny. It has a little tint with an anti reflective surface. I shoot almost as much under lights as I do daytime

This “best color” comes up constantly on TS.com. The short answer is whatever color works for YOU.
Your eye has:
Rods that are responsible for vision at low light levels. They do not provide color vision.
Cones are active at higher light levels, and are capable of color vision and are responsible for high spatial acuity.
The number of rods & cones varies from person to person, so your going to need to spend some time and effort determining how you see, and perceive color(s).
Read Dawgmary post, it is a great starting point.
