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!

DH has green eyes. Both boys have inherited them but theirs are more of a bluey, sagey green. Mine are a very dark blue.

My grandmother was a red head with beautiful proper green eyes, with gold around the pupil. My mum ended up with greenish hazel and I have greenish, bluish, greyish.

My son has gorgeous grey eyes but he hates the attention. The rest of the family have very dark eyes

Some lovely eyes here. minimoosher your ds’s eyes are stunning!!!

Some beautiful eyes here! My DD, mum, auntie and Mil all have green eyes, but by far the greenest of them all is DD.

It depends on lighting, and if she has purple eyeshadow on they look crazy green

Ive always said mine are a greyish blue colour.
I think they look more blue if my pupil is larger, it's hard to get a half decent picture in the dark though

I can't determine the colour of my eyes as light makeup and emotions effects how they appear. But for the most part I'd say they are hazel.
The picture doesn't show it clearly but they have different coloured rings and lines, the outter is green inner amber.

I always thought I had green eyes but looking at other people’s pictures I think they might be more hazel! I wish I had brown eyes, I think they’re lovely Smile

Just flicked back through older pictures of me and my eyes look quite cloudy in the ones I took today Confused probably worth a visit to the opticians. I have early macular degeneration and am hoping it’s tiredness giving me that look not anything else!

CurtainWitcher · 27/05/2020 21:49

There's something wrong with my eyes because most of the pics posted look more like blue eyes to me!

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 27/05/2020 21:54

mine are really variable, from sludgey khaki to a much more intense green

they have been like this ever since i was a child, and on a greeny green day loads of people would ask what colour my contacts are....( dispensing optician, so always trying new things, but never green lenses.)

barrelcaskings · 27/05/2020 22:13

Green eyed here also! Sadly none of my 4 have green although they all have beautiful eyes themselves (3 blue eyed, one brown eyed)

Ginspiration · 27/05/2020 22:19

I have never been really sure if mine are green or blue?

I have never met anyone with violet eyes. I know one person with deep green eyes, rather than light sage green eyes. She is very attractive with dark hair and green eyes.

CalmConfident · 27/05/2020 22:32

Green eyes plus a brown sectoral heterochromata...and they look like someone has drawn round them with a sharpie. Always brighter in direct sunlight

Excuse terrible photo!

IdblowJonSnow · 27/05/2020 22:35

I've seen amber eyes, true green eyes and an ex boyfriend had those bright yellow green eyes, exactly the same as a cats.
Never seen violet eyes tho.

CalmConfident · 27/05/2020 22:35

This is one of my 'orange' eyes. I always thought they were light brown growing up but have since been corrected. I usually just say I have very light brown eyes though.

(apologies it's a bit blurry it's a bit zoomed in to crop out the rest of my face)

My sister has very very green eyes, almost yellow rather than emerald though. I've always been jealous
