I swear by Suntigers. I have worn them twenty years.
They won't correct this problem. Blue and orange
are on opposite sides of the color wheel and they will
make everything darker under a blue canopy.

Suntigers were developed from NASA technology to protedt
welders from UV from the welding torch. Blue canopies
cut down light, but they transmit all the UV. I've
never understood why they exist.

Suggestion are welcome to solve this problem.

Suntigers use a yellow-ish tint that *may* solve your
problem.

See http://www.suntiger.com/ Tell them you are a
glider pilot so you
get the right tint.
