when people say green eyes do they mean hazel? I have lots of people in my family with greeny/blue eyes but have never seen pure green eyes but everyone on MNs seems to have them?!

DS has very clear pale green eyes, definitely not hazel.

Beautiful

Nutterjacks · 06/08/2023 12:28

Icey blue

Azaeleasinbloom · 06/08/2023 12:32

@Bookish88 your son has beautiful eyes, and skin.

dramoy · 06/08/2023 12:43

@Bookish88 how old is he? One of my dc had eyes exactly like that but they are now more like mine. We both have very defined outline & then paler inner bit with some (what I call) yellow in. I think we have that central heterachromia thing.

UseOfWeapons · 06/08/2023 12:54

Velvety dark brown, apparently.

@Bonfire23 ok so I would class that as hazel as it has some brown in but that's just me.

They change under different lights definitely, it's an amber ring which has a name that I forget!
You can see it better with a ring light

Is that not the central hems thing?mine look like yours with more blue in

dramoy · 06/08/2023 13:29

So mine are like Olivia Wildes or Angelina Jolies

Soubriquet · 06/08/2023 14:16

I can’t get a good enough picture for mine but they are definitely green. Even dh says they are.

Me and ex DH- bog standard blue
DS1 - very pale grey
DS2- green
I love the whole genetics lottery thing!

Pieceofpurplesky · 06/08/2023 14:49

Mine are very similar to bonfires' - but I always have a dark brown patch whatever daily shade they are!

@Bookish88 your DS eyes are stunning.

Mine are blue, like a light denim. They suit me as I'm blonde but I would love to have green/hazel eyes.

Mothercareyschickens · 06/08/2023 15:25

Mine are grey with a darker grey ring around the outside.

DH's are brown with a blue ring around the outside edge. I've seen that combination in people of Anglo-Indian heritage. He has a swarthy skin colouration (tans at the drop of a hat) but says as far as he knows there is no Asian ancestry in his pedigree.

HashBrownandBeans · 06/08/2023 15:32

Mine are a turquoise blue.

My kids have icy blue, or olive green. Their dad has hazel.

He's 5. When he was born, and up until he was around 2.5 they were a really icy blue, but then slowly turned to the colour they are now. Not sure how likely it is that they'll change again?

HashBrownandBeans · 06/08/2023 15:36

My turquoise eye just now

bellsandwhistles333 · 06/08/2023 15:47

Me - very dark brown no other colouring
DH - bright light green
DS - a much lighter brown than me

I wish he had his dads eyes!

Bluey18 · 06/08/2023 15:47

Me: Hazel
Dh: Blue
Dd: Grey
DS: Bluey green(but he's under 2 so probably not his final colour).

I have 4 siblings and all 5 of us have different colour eyes even though we all have the same parents, I always thought it was funny.

My DD has amber eyes. Mine are green and her dad's were dark brown.

A lot of green eyes on this thread considering it's supposed to be the rarest eye colour.

The rarest globally, maybe, but the vast majority of people with green eyes are found in Ireland and Scotland, so it’s unsurprising lots on this thread have them.

I have green eyes, as does one of my kids. DH has brown, other kid has blue.
