Default canopy tint

Does the color chosen improve visibility outside- for seeing haze

With a tinted canopy you are "locked in" to that particular tint. I
prefer to apply my own tint where it counts the most, using sunglasses
(and no tint on the canopy). When flying heat buildup shouldn't be an
issue with proper cockpit venting. On the ground use a canopy cover.
