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!

I've Green eyes like a previous poster they seem to change when I'm angry, so my parents can always tell when I'm in a bad mood, they say they go really dark normally they're quite bright.

Did had very dark purple eyes for the first couple of hours after she was born. Sadly none of the pictures do them justice, they were Polaroid pictures from nicu (1999). She now has very beautiful blue.

Dh and I have brown eyes and brown hair, our 2 dds have blonde hair and blue eyes, ds has brown hair and eyes like us! Years ago a very idiotic teacher told dd1 that it was impossible for her to have blue eyes and her dad must not be her biological dad 😡

@BillywigSting
I came in to say that mine are orange too. In so much that people will remark on them when meeting me.

My daughter has bright blue eyes and my son has green eyes. My remaining two daughters have chocolate brown eyes.

My FIL has bright green eyes, lime coloured.. he is palestinian. They are quite common over there, absolutely stunning with the olive skin!

WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 27/05/2020 17:49

I once knew a boy (teen, as was I at the time) with deep dark green eyes . Very unusual. My daughter has green eyes that get lighter in certain lights .

Doggotired · 27/05/2020 17:54

I have green eyes, so does my mum. My Irish grandad has jet black hair and emerald green eyes. He looked like a film star. My son has amazing eyes, they are green, blue and amber in the middle.
These are mine

CaptainPovey yours look very grey in that photo! Just came on to say violet as an eye colour does not exist, sorry 😐

StormBaby · 27/05/2020 18:05

My daughters green eyes at the top, and my turquoise at the bottom. I always wanted brown eyes

I have really green eyes, that ppl comment on.

I went to school with a girl with orange eyes.

IceniSky · 27/05/2020 18:11

I had really green eyes when I was younger. Now they look like a murky ocean and my whites not so white. Only early 40s.

Levatrice · 27/05/2020 18:15

I love eye colours! Never knew violet was a thing 🤨. The most beautiful eyes I ever saw were an Arabian ladies, her eyes were the most perfect striking bright gold. Ive never seen anything like them. Definitely not contact lenses. Really Pale blue eyes creep me out I don’t know why

LittleCandle · 27/05/2020 18:19

My mother had dark green eyes. They were definitely not hazel, but dark green. DGD had similar coloured eyes, but more towards hazel sometimes.

MattBerrysHair · 27/05/2020 18:20

My dm has green eyes that look yellow in certain lights. The most striking eyes have ever seen belong to a woman I used to work with and they are pure amber. Also one of ds2's friends has golden eyes, and I don't mean light brown, proper golden like a lion. Absolutely amazing.

3rdNamechange · 27/05/2020 18:24

I've got green eyes , often get complimented on them. It's nice because the rest of me has gone to pot Confused

CrowCat · 27/05/2020 18:25

I was born with bright purple eyes that gradually turned clear dark green. There are a lot of professional photos of me as a baby and toddler because of this lol. I was nicknamed cat at school 😂

Not sure how unique they are though 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wagamamas · 27/05/2020 18:26

Never seen violet but many green.

keepingbees · 27/05/2020 18:36

Mine are green with hazel in the middle. I always got told they looked like cat eyes. One of my DD's has very green eyes, my other DD has very bright blue.

WashedUpDriedOut · 27/05/2020 18:40

I had a colleague who had such pale blue eyes they looked white.

It was so striking.

She'd look up from her work and you'd feel pinned to the spot. Lovely person too.

Badassmama · 27/05/2020 18:43

Full on green over here 🤷‍♀️

My son has amber eyes that match his hair, in the right light.

Absolutely beautiful! Very striking.
Mucklowe · 27/05/2020 18:56

Mine are bright green. They flash when I'm angry.

Eh? Are they LEDs or something?

FenellaMaxwell · 27/05/2020 18:56

I have central Heterochromia, so my eyes are green in the middle and dark blue around the outside.

Badassmama · 27/05/2020 18:58

My mum had bright amber eyes like that Callimanco :) my dads were maroon, like proper dark red brown so dark they almost looked black.
