Solotica Natural Colors Mel vs Otaku Kryptonite Green: What's the Difference?
Green contacts come in many shades some light and bold, others rich and muted. A common comparison is Solotica Natural Colors Mel vs Otaku Kryptonite Green. Both lenses offer a limbal ring, but they deliver completely different finishes.
Here’s a real-life side-by-side of the two lenses in natural light: Natural Mel on the left, Kryptonite Green on the right.
Color and Design Details
Natural Colors Mel is a light, almost pistachio green with a strong yellow undertone. It features a visible limbal ring and a radial print that gives a more defined and stylized finish — especially noticeable under direct lighting. The color pops on dark eyes but can lean slightly artificial in tone.
Kryptonite Green was made for those who love green tones but want something deeper and more natural. It leans olive rather than yellow and skips the printed pattern, opting for a smooth gradient. It still has a limbal ring, but it's softer and less structured than Solotica’s.
How They Look on Dark Eyes
- Natural Mel: Bright green effect, stronger print, visible limbal ring
- Kryptonite Green: Deep olive-green, no pattern, soft limbal ring and natural finish
Comfort and Coverage
Both lenses are high-opacity and fully cover dark brown eyes. Many wearers find Otaku’s lens material thinner and more comfortable for daily use, especially for long hours.
