Not just goofy. Most people in the UK would associate glasses like that with ali G:

In all seriousness, how do they affect colour? If you're working on a front-end web project or design, could these be problematic?

Ha ha, Ali G! But yeah, these glasses completely distort color perception -- much more suitable for coding or reading than any kind of visual design work.

I took an online colorblindness test while wearing my set, and got a diagnosis of tritanopia. So, maybe wear them if you want to simulate colorblindness for accessibility reasons, otherwise not when you're doing color-sensitive design!

If you care about color, you need to generate color profiles for different color temperatures and load them depending on the sun's position. I automated the loading part on Linux with this: https://github.com/stefantalpalaru/iccloader
