Default Acuvue 2 Colours

I am currently wearing prescription clear contact lens - BC 8.8 DIA 14.0. Would I be able to fit into colored lens with a smaller BC range 8.3 such as Acuvue 2 Colors (opaque)?

You may be able to. Base curve is not standardised between lens brands or even different lens within a single brand. It is for this reason that you need to be fitted for lenses by your optometrist each time you wish to switch brands.

Not all contact lenses are the same. Just because you're an 8.8 in one brand doesn't mean you'll use that same size for all brands. See your doctor to be fitted for color contact lenses. You'll avoid a lot of potential problems that way.
