This note describes how colors of some familiar objects and scenes shift when viewed with one of the author's eyes after a lens implant compared to the other eye without implant. Estimates of the shifts are described with common color names. Some shifts were found to be spectacular! Variations in the spectral transmission of the lens is believed to explain the shifts. Implications affecting the choice of clors for interiors, fashions, and other design uses are discussed. An appendix contains data on matches on the Glenn and D & H Color Rules.
