This thread shows that the argument can't be settled! The eyes are more brown than most hazel eyes, and more hazel than most brown eyes.

JaJaDingDong · 20/11/2020 15:51

What colour do you think they are OP? And whose eyes are they?

Lorw · 20/11/2020 15:55

Hazel 😁

I've always thought they were brown and always been told they were brown.

A work colleague called them hazel and I was Confused

Thanks for all replies.

(I do feel like they've got lighter as I've aged as I always thought I had deep brown eyes as a child)

I’d say brown, Hazel is lighter than that.

I would say hazel.

Wikipedia has eye colour photos, yours don't match up to brown, but also their version of hazel eyes has more green in it. Even so I would still say hazel.

Callcat where do you live where people have such definite eye colours? Grin and yes there are massive variants. My eyes are mostly green (they can look blue green depending on what I am wearing) but the sheer variation of green eyes that were posted on a green eye thread by just MNetters show how the huge spectrum of light green, blue green, grey green, vivid green (I was most jealous of those ones) is.

Second photo is more brown but I would still say hazel. Both my siblings had brown eyes so I used to call them poo brown when they pointed out my "weird" eye colour.

Brown to me - hazel eyes would have green in them and your eyes don't

LaceyBetty · 20/11/2020 18:09

Light brown.

BoulangerieBabs · 20/11/2020 18:18

I have hazel eyes and mine are a lot greener. I think yours are brown Op.

Genuinely surprised that one poster has never heard of hazel eyes Confused

Hazel is a type of brown, surely.
I do see a hint of green as well.

josbd · 20/11/2020 19:32

Def hazel

Mashingthecompost · 20/11/2020 19:33

Light brown. I thought hazel had green in it too.

bruffin · 20/11/2020 19:36

brown,

my dm had hazel eyes and had green in them

Feministicon · 20/11/2020 19:37

I thought hazel was brown like a hazelnut 😀

Feministicon · 20/11/2020 19:38

*Light brown

IdblowJonSnow · 20/11/2020 19:39

Hazel. But way more brown than green.
