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? 🤣

Thank you - that describes my eyes. I hadn't heard the term before, and I wasn't quite sure what to call them - "well, they're blue, but, there's this ring..."

I only know because of googling to work out what colour my eyes are! Mine are blue around the outside and brown in the middle - almost 50/50 - so not quite sunflower as mine don't have any discernible yellow in them. My grandfather was the reverse of mine - his army warrant card says brown/blue, so they couldn't decide how to describe it either!

You have sunflower eyes - very pretty - also known as central heterochromia.

I don't know if they're Hazel, isn't Hazel a golden brown. They definitely have blueish tinge around the outside. I would say more yellow in the middle

Kids at school used to make fun of them, and say they were weird 😂gosh I'm pleased I'm an adult now!

Hazel. Really lovely colour to have because they pick up whatever colour you are wearing. So they will frequently look different colours.

Thank you, yes they change so it has been confusing to say a colour. One of my parents has blue grey eyes, and the other had green. Some people say they're brown, some gold, jt's crazy. Dm tells me they were blue as a baby then changed to green, then this mixed colour.

Well, they're a mix of different colours here.

They seem to change with the light, I have no idea.
