And hair, whilst we're here!

Would love to see if there's a consensus.

Red hair, hazel eyes. Eyes are same as colour as my mum's.

insatiableme · 21/11/2021 18:37

Hazel

Hottbutterscotch · 22/11/2021 00:19

Aren’t hazel eyes yellow toned light brown?

womaninatightspot · 22/11/2021 00:34

Hazel/ Ginger.

MrsSkylerWhite · 22/11/2021 00:38

Hazel (very determined!) eyes and glorious red hair.

That’s one glorious child Smile

Hazel, red! Lovely combination.

Hazel AFAIK can cover different combinations of green and brown.

My DD was born with blue eyes. They gradually changed colour, until with a shock I realised when she was about 6 that they were green! Now they are an unmistakable, light green.

I have green eyes in my family, but my eyes are blue and DD’s dad’s are dark hazel.

The colour of the eyes is: central heterochromia.

As they always, always, always are on threads with this title Grin

storkstalk · 22/11/2021 00:47

Red hair and hazel eyes

douliket · 22/11/2021 02:52

Ginger and green eyes
Hazel would be a lot more brown in them

Can I jump in and ask the same question about my daughter? I never know how to describe her eye colour…

I think the OP’s photo eyes are hazel (or maybe just brown?) with red hair.

Kanaloa · 22/11/2021 04:24

@jennytogether

I’d say ginger hair and blue/green eyes depending on light! Lovely curls as well Smile

Tempusfudgeit · 22/11/2021 09:23

Hetty0 Thank you for the technical term! He's 6 now, so I think the colour is now set. Thanks everyone for your opinions. I'm going for 'red' and 'hazel/green'. Central heterochromia isn't usually an option on forms!

Ginger and Hazel but more green Hazel. Lovely combo.

EishetChayil · 22/11/2021 09:27

The left eye is bluish hazel, the right is greenish hazel. Beautiful colouring.

Her hair is GORGEOUS!

Green eyes, ginger hair.

Yes I have to say about the word ‘ginger’ I have red hair and I hate the word ginger. It reminds me of being bullied at school.

Anoisagusaris · 22/11/2021 14:03

Ginger is never used here in Ireland - it’s red hair.

We’ve always said ginger. To me ginger and red are two different hair colours. One is really deep red and the other is orangey red.
storkstalk · 22/11/2021 16:52

@Kanaloa do you have red hair yourself?

Cryingbutstilltrying · 22/11/2021 16:53

Ds has eyes like this, they seem to change colour based on clothes colour and lighting. I think they’re stunning! I would say hazel, ds goes with multicoloured. But sometimes more grey, green, light brown.

The curly hair child I would say green.

Gorgeous red hair all round! Ds was strawberry blonde as a baby but is definitely mouse now 😩

Yes we’re a very ginger family! We’re Scottish though. My sisters have more red hair while mine is more ginger. Or, as my mother liked to call it when I was young ‘strawberry blonde’ Hmm
