Why do they use gold glasses on Love is Blind?
Love is Blind creator Chris Coelen explained that the gold glasses design choice is just something he likes.
Speaking to Variety, he said: “I don’t know. It’s something I like. When you turn on the show, you know it’s our show. It’s a very authentic, really true following of these people’s journeys, but I like the fact that we have this sort of connective tissue with that in a really light way, it’s fun.”
However, the opaque glasses are also likely to help with continuity, as scenes where people are drinking will look more seamless when editors don’t need to worry about how much liquid is left in each person’s cup.
