Help with metallic looking windows please

Hey guys I need some help clarifying whether the metallic color on my tint is due to the factory blueish windows or due to the type of film my car was tinted with. I'm unsure whether my car has the blue windows or not because it came tinted dark when I bought it, but I've seen many other Benz with the blueish windows.

On sunny days, my window tints are black but on cloudy days, it becomes this metallic blue color. I want to re-tint it but I don't want to spend the money and have the same outcome. I hope you guys can help me figure it out, thanks in advance.

Depends on the weather
The windows will look black on certain days and from certain angles and other times you will see almost a mirror reflection, blue or silver. The factory tint is embedded within the window...nothing can really be done about that unless you tint the windows from outside - which no one is going to do.

Ah thank you I just wanted to make sure it wasn't because of the tint film they used. Thank you for the quick response!
