# Color-Changing Eyewear RGB Rainbow Glasses By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-10-15 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rgb-rainbow-glasses References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/8/view/4188/rgb-rainbow-glasses-by-luis-porem.html) & [luisporem](http://www.luisporem.com/) These [clear, hollow RGB Rainbow Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-harwood-20) let their wearer fill them with different [colored water-based ink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-roller) to change the frame color to coordinate with their outfit. They’re made by Luis Porem, who created them as an entry for the Opus Design Award, an international eyewear design competition. Naturally, the inherent [flask-like design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunnies-flask) of these glasses had me thinking of their other, more exciting possibilities. Unfortunately, Luis Porem hasn’t divulged the internal volume of his sweet frames, so we are left to wonder instead. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Color-changing Eyewear:** Opportunities for producing sustainable and customizable eyewear that caters to the fashion industry. - **Water-based Ink Innovation:** Opportunities for producing water-based inks that are more eco-friendly and compatible with color-changing eyewear. - **Design Competitions for Eyewear:** Opportunities for participating or organizing design competitions that can lead to innovative eyewear designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Eyewear Manufacturing:** Innovations in manufacturing processes to promote sustainable and customizable eyewear. - **Fashion Industry:** Collaboration with designers and companies to produce eyewear that satisfies fashion trends and meets changing consumer preferences. - **Printing Industry:** Opportunities for producing water-based inks that are both eco-friendly and compatible with new materials like color-changing eyewear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adjustable Tinted Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-rx.md) - [Transforming Liquid-Lens Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/32-degrees-north.md) - [Color Customized Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunnies-studio.md) - [Adaptive Reading Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/32n-sunglasses-by-deep-optics.md) - [Adaptive Eyewear Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bio-lens.md) - [3D-Printed Honeycomb-Style Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-glasses-frames.md) - [See-Through Smart Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rayban-transparent-meta-wayfarer.md) - [Transparent Crystal Sunglasses Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-harwood-20.md) - [Biodegradable Smart Glasses Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-glasses-frames.md)
