I'm 40 and I don't know what colour my eyes are! Photos

What do you think?

I've always thought green, but a thread last night made me think grey.

Or are they both?

Good job I've not had to give a formal description of myself to anyone - I'd sound a right numpty not knowing!

They're very similar to mine and I always say greenish grey. They look more green in some lights/depending on what kind of make-up I'm wearing.

TheOGCCL · 28/02/2023 21:22

Most people who don’t know have grey eyes. Definitely not blue. Closer to green but they’re not true green.

Grey with Hazel bits

RosesAndHellebores · 28/02/2023 21:28

I'd have said grey/Hazel.

DS started blue, went green, landed on Hazel.

Do you tan?

Shitfather · 28/02/2023 21:29

Hazel - definitely green shades there. I do not see blue at all.

AleynEivlys · 28/02/2023 21:34

Might be wrong but I think you may have central heterochromia, which is rare and pretty cool!

piedbeauty · 28/02/2023 21:45

Grey!

With a bit of brown in the iris.

Unusual!

MadKittenWoman · 28/02/2023 21:46

I would say hazel: greeny-brown, like my DS.

Icecreamandapplepie · 28/02/2023 21:49

I think you have the central thingie too, as another poster has said.

My son has it and its very rare and very beautiful.

Are one of your parents or grandparents a redhead?

FadedRed · 28/02/2023 21:50

Definitely grey.

Cam22 · 28/02/2023 21:50

Grey.

Tessisme · 28/02/2023 21:53

They look grey with a hint of hazel on my screen - a warm grey. I have grey eyes with some blue and mine are at the colder end of the greys.

LadyAstor · 28/02/2023 21:56

Grey.

Sparklybutold · 28/02/2023 21:57

Grey

juliettesmother · 28/02/2023 21:58

Another vote for grey.

I have green/brown eyes (awful photo attached) and I don't think your eyes look similar.

mathanxiety · 28/02/2023 22:01

Hazel- grey

dizzydizzydizzy · 28/02/2023 22:14

Mainly blue. Your eyes look like my eyes!

DilemmaDelilah · 28/02/2023 22:17

I would say grey/hazel. I liked to think mine were blue - but actually I think they are probably grey.

CrystalCoco · 28/02/2023 22:20

Nothing blue or green about them to me, definitely grey.

cassiatwenty · 28/02/2023 22:21

Green

hopingforadvice · 28/02/2023 22:30

Joining in on thread. Beautiful eyes - like a sunflower in the centre! 🌻

I also believed I had blue eyes until this week and also don’t know what colour mine are! Green? Grey?

Mannymoomin · 28/02/2023 22:38

I’m also voting grey.

Whats this central thing people are saying,
is that what I have?
I’ve always thought my eyes were hazel 🤔

ShillyShallySherbet · 28/02/2023 22:39

You have lovely grey eyes OP

Mannymoomin · 28/02/2023 22:40

I don’t know why my pic uploaded like that, but they’re green on the outside and brown in the middle. With a couple of odd flecks thrown in too

ShillyShallySherbet · 28/02/2023 22:41

@hopingforadvice yours are grey/blue I’d say and @Mannymoomin you could say Hazel or brown for yours
