Iromegane
I introduced you to the megane (眼鏡 - "glasses") two days ago, and introduced mushimegane (虫眼鏡 - "magnifying glass") yesterday.
Today I would like to talk about the Japanese iromegane (色眼鏡).
Since iro (色) means "color" and megane (眼鏡) means "glasses," the literal meaning of iromegane is "colored glasses."
Of course, iromegane can mean a pair of colored glasses such as sunglasses.
However, I think that it is often used to mean that someone looks on something from a biased perspective.
[Example] Kare wa itsumo iromegane de hito wo miru (彼はいつも色眼鏡で人を見る - He always looks on people from a biased perspective).
