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).
