What's the point in having different color lens other than clear lenses?
I mean I've seen clear, smoke, yellow, orange, blue, and I want to know if different lenses help with different situations and so on and so forth

The bright lenses would increase the contrast between different objects to help you see better. I have some ski goggles with an orange lens and when it is sunny I can see all the different bumps and slopes in the snow. The other non standard colors might do the same but the smoke lens would be good for a bright sunny day like sun glasses.

This refers to flashlights:
The different color lenses can also mean different units within a company. Red is commonly used because it creates a low visible color, but still makes you able to see it. This is so tangos don't see it and start opening fire.
This refers to goggles:
Like ksimo13 said, different colors offer contrast in different situations. Amber is really good for the snow so it is easier to see targets. Yellow shows a high contrast and has dark, green based camos to appear daker than its surroundings. Smoke just helps dim the sun's brightness.

That's good to know because the goggles I ordered come with a clear and a gray set of lenses and I was curious.
