'70 Convertible glass replacement: green tint or clear?

Ordering all new glass(windshield, doors, rear-quarter windows) for '70 442 convertible. Wondering whether green or clear: does one look better/more correct than the other? Does anyone have pics of their cars green vs. clear? A bit concerned green might look weird against bright yellow car w/black interior. Thanks for the help.

I would go with the grey tint. The green and yellow seems like it would be off. Just my opinion.

The cars could come with clear glass all around, tinted windshield and clear glass or all tinted. I think it tied into whether or not the car had AC (I think AC cars were usually tinted.) Think the option was Soft Ray Tinted glass, and it was up in the A's for the option code. Factory level tint was so light that you really can't notice it unless the two glasses are right next to each other. You're a northern man, so that factors in. I think I would do what the car had originally, and, if you can't tell / don't know, I'd go tinted in an AC car, clear in a non, since you'll have the windows down when it's hot anyway. A tinted windshield might be good for any option, since you'll be looking through it 95% of the time.

The original Soft Ray has a green tint to it in the right light.
