Properly violet or green eyes?

Other than fictitious characters do you know anyone, or do you have, these coloured eyes? I mean like really intense green or vivid purple? I’ve never seen anyone with any but would love to! Would love to have them myself too rather than my own sludgy brown, supremely inefficient ones!

Supposedly Elizabeth Taylor had violet eyes. However I never met her.

YukoandHiro · 27/05/2020 13:56

I went to school with a girl who had really bright light blue eyes - an intense periwinkle blue. They got even brighter in the summer

Gatekeeper · 27/05/2020 13:57

my ex had jade green eyes- never seen anyone else with similar

sleepyhead · 27/05/2020 13:59

I've looked for photos of Elizabeth Taylor that show these supposed violet eyes - I could never quite picture what that would look like. But they were definitely just blue.

sleepyhead · 27/05/2020 13:59

I've met someone who had eyes the same colour as chocolate limes though - pure green.

Unshriven · 27/05/2020 14:02

I worked with someone from Iran who had intensely bright green eyes.

Not dark/hazel, but really bright green.

Preoleai · 27/05/2020 14:04

I’ve googled Elizabeth Taylor’s eyes. They (and she) were certainly beautiful but I’m not really seeing intense violet?

My mum has green eyes. I think they are lovely but when she was a child she was taunted fo having “cat’s eyes”

newgalebeach · 27/05/2020 14:10

I have green eyes, so did my husband, both my children have brown or hazel though.

picklemewalnuts · 27/05/2020 14:13

Sometimes it's a contrast with skin tone. So people with olive skin may seem to have have unusual turquoise eyes, but the same eye on a fair skinned person would be less vivid.

DC1JackieReid · 27/05/2020 14:13

I have very green eyes (dads were bright blue mums eyes are very dark brown) I want dark brown eyes 😟 my DD has extremely dark eyes like her dad. I want dark contact lenses to cheat and get my dark eyes 😀. Googled Elizabeth Taylor, they look blue to me?

beachcomber70 · 27/05/2020 14:17

I was with a friend when she met up with a colleague of hers. The colleague had violet eyes and I was stunned when I saw them. Never seen them before or since.

One of my sons has green eyes, which I find amazing every time I see him.

Shinygreenelephant · 27/05/2020 14:19

My daughter has bright green eyes, never seen anything like them. Mine are green too but more of a bog standard hazel green while hers look like coloured contacts

ReginaPhalangee · 27/05/2020 14:22

Mine are bright green. They flash when I'm angry. My former boss said he always knew when I was annoyed even if I didn't say anything as my eyes gave it away.

GuiltyBark · 27/05/2020 14:24

My niece has the most beautiful clear periwinkle blue eyes but that's the only unusual eye colour I've seen!

BillywigSting · 27/05/2020 14:28

I knew a girl in school with very bright green eyes. They were very striking and she was very pretty. I was a bit jealous tbh.

Mine are orange. Not light brown hazel but one solid orange/amber colour. My dad's are hazel, my mum's are dark brown so not quite sure how that happened.

EscapeTheCastle · 27/05/2020 14:29

I met a lady that had met Elizabeth Taylor and she said her eyes were most definitely Violet coloured.

IHateCoronavirus · 27/05/2020 14:31

I had a childhood friend with the same green as the op’s posts box green. Another friend with the most beautiful ice blue eyes, the inside of the iris is v pale yet bright blue and the ring around them is a midnight blue. She is constantly asked if they are contacts! I have boring old blue grey Envy

2Kidsinatrenchcoat · 27/05/2020 14:32

I went to secondary school with a girl who was adamant that she had gold eyes

They were definitely brown

StormBaby · 27/05/2020 14:32

My daughter has bright green eyes and very pale skin. I have turquoise, but I think that's just my olive skin tone.

BikeRunSki · 27/05/2020 14:36

I have a friend with violet eyes. She is the least premtioys and most modest person. I shared a flat with her for a year, and asked her who her optician was because I wanted coloured contacts. That’s when I found out that her eyes were genuinely that colour. She also has jet black hair and china-white skin.

JorisBonson · 27/05/2020 14:38

I have very pale ice blue eyes which get darker when it rains 🤔 with goldy / yellow flecks in them. Always accused of wearing contacts!

IHateCoronavirus · 27/05/2020 14:39

BikeRunSki that combination sounds lovely. I always think dark hair and bright eyes is a gorgeous mix on women and men of any skin colour.

BogRollBOGOF · 27/05/2020 14:40

I have green eyes and they catch the light and suroundings in different ways. Eyeshadow colours can really change the effect, also my complexion. I remember looking in a mirror after crying and the red of my whites and face made them look much more turquoise.

BikeRunSki · 27/05/2020 14:44

@IHateCoronavirus, she is gorgeous
