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? 🤣

Hazel is a brown green mix (like the colour!). The word hazel isn't synonymous with multicolour.

My eyes are blue with yellow and grey rings. That doesn't make them hazel.

But hazel eyes can include blue and grey as well. Blue isn't actually a colour when it comes to eyes. It's just a lack of pigment.

Also, do you not have an either a passport of a drivers license cause you'd ve had to fill out your eye color for both of those.

@pinck you've posted long enough on MN to know full well this is a UK based site. Why make such a "fucking stupid" statement as to assume we in the UK manage passports and DLs the same way as the US?

Hazel on the inner ring. Middle ring is pale green. Outer ring is grey I'd say.

This.
Never heard the term Sunflower eyes before, but it's a lovely way of describing them.

That means they're Hazel. Hazel eyes have two or three different colours. Usually brown and green, but sometimes blue and other colours as well.

I think hazel as an eye colour, counter-intuitively, covers a muddy green colour rather than the reddish brown colour of an actual hazelnut.

PatsyPatsysaid · 02/10/2024 15:25

Hazel. I have the same.

These posts are so fucking stupid, like how could somebody possibly not know their own eye color ... mine are brown and yours are obviously hazel. Also, do you not have an either a passport of a drivers license cause you'd ve had to fill out your eye color for both of those.

Hark at you. 🙄

They are similar to mine, and I've always thought green, but now I wonder if I was wrong. 😂

Your eyes are exactly the same colour as mine. I’ve never known if they’re hazel or green or a greeny hazel 🤷‍♀️

AdaStewart · 02/10/2024 15:08

I’ve seen a few people with eyes like that. Definitely not hazel.

Who made you the post police?

OP, the limbal ring surrounding your eye enhances the colour as well.

You sound fun 😬

In the UK (where OP most likely is due to her spelling of the word colour) eye colour isn't listed on driving licenses or passports.

Not in the UK you don't these days. (I'm guessing you're American by your spelling.) We use photography.

Plus you don't need a driving licence if you don't drive, nor a passport if you don't travel overseas. There are people who do neither.

Mine are practically the same, and others have said they are hazel. One eye has little dots and the other has dashes! I used to say they were greeny/brown with flecks, but I don't care anymore as long as they work!.

Oh yes yours do look very greeny. You have more green than me. If you asked me I would say you have green eyes. I'm jealous because I wish mine were. When I wear green the green comes out more.

I've always wondered about mine too. Are we related?

Haha, we must be third cousins twice removed I think. They look so similar to mine!

Or 'hazel', evidently I cannot even spell it!

WindowtoyourSoul · 02/10/2024 12:34

Well I guess hazle is the consensus, thank you every one. I've googled it, and there are different types of hazle, but I'll stick with this, haha
