I have been told they're multiple colours from people over the years. I have no idea what they are! My dc told me they're yellow? 🤣

I don't understand when people claim their eyes change colour. That isn't a thing.

Our perception of colour is dependent on current light conditions, and colours adjacent, so it could absolutely appear that eyes change colour.

They look grey/ light brown to me (is that hazel?)

Sorry but I get what PP are saying about boring. These threads come up all the time and it’s cringe. I have no idea why fishing for compliments about eye colour are a thing, but they clearly are!

eyes are three colours:

-the grey blue eye colour shade
-dark brown that you can’t see through at all
-in between - the mix of brown with the ‘eye colour’ blue/grey. Hazel, green, whatever.

none of it is interesting or ‘different’ and these threads are full of people posting pictures of their perfectly boring bloody hazel eyes going ‘oh mine are really unusual, everyone mentions them, they have this very strange yet so oddly beautiful ring of green/brown/mango orange blah blah’

No, your eyes look like loads of other eyes. Focus on something else.

Totally agree. I don't get it, and I don't understand when people claim their eyes change colour. That isn't a thing.

It's just pages of fishing for compliments.

My eyes are hazel. Or are they? Not actually sure any more, as they look v different to the OP's hazel eyes!

They’re blue confused 🫤

JMSA · 06/10/2024 01:39

Hazel.

petermaddog · 06/10/2024 01:38

mine hazel and when i get angry they turn blue

winz · 06/10/2024 00:24

Hazel. Brown & Green combination. Very unique colour! Green eyes are the rarest. My family have a combination of all! I'm "blue/green", next brother is dark blue/grey. Next two are light blue 🩵

sadeightiesthrowback · 06/10/2024 00:11

Hazel.

But not as good as the book..

The book was great but the giant poster of the boring eye… that really got people talking

If you find it boring, why bother reading and posting on it? There are tons of other threads on all sorts of subjects. I just ignore ones which don't interest me, but it's fine if others are interested.

Go away

Sorry! It's not a scary thing, just the name of the dark outer ring on eyes which have it.

Batmannequin · 06/10/2024 00:03

EBearhug · 05/10/2024 23:52

a rim of grey round the outer edge

A limbal ring

You scared me then, I had to Google limbal ring 😂

Mine are similar and no-one seems to be able to agree either. Mine are mostly green with a small halo of brown round the iris but with a rim of grey round the outer edge. I thought mine were hazel, but maybe not.

ZippyDenimBear · 05/10/2024 23:16

For those with the dark green/ hazel/ central heterochromie (I know that's spelt wrong but I can't be arsed to go back!), do you have red hair in your family?

My son similar, and I'm a red head. He has black hair...

I leave you to judge.

What colour are my eyes?
Fernticket · 05/10/2024 23:06

@GerundTheBehemoth . Beautiful green eyes.
When I was younger, my eyes were a definite, deep grey. Now I am getting older, people keep telling me they are blue. I think I must have eyes that change colour.

PatsyPatsysaid · 04/10/2024 15:59

Mine change too - really depends on the light

Also @sugarcrispies your eyes are gorgeous

Pieceofpurplesky · 03/10/2024 22:46

I'll add mine to the mix. They change colour. I am more wrinkly than the rest of the eyes though 🥺
