Mine are interesting. There blue-green and have been since I was 1. I’m 63 now. Most people think there green until they get up close. I get a compliment once a week on my eye colour. Some people put blue on my ID others put Green.

Mine are brown and I wish they were blue/green

Pallisers · 25/04/2024 00:40

Mine are green. I like them.

Paninaro94 · 25/04/2024 00:42

Mine are hazel and I do like them, they seem to change colour. I suppose a lot of eyes do that.

DaftyLass · 25/04/2024 00:42

Mine are grey, as it says on my ID, although when I was younger they were blue

Snoopystick · 25/04/2024 00:45

Green but with blue around the outer part

SnowFrogJelly · 25/04/2024 00:47

Grey/green I like!

scarletbegoniass · 25/04/2024 00:49

Brown. I’ve always favoured brown eyes (ego? I also only like brown hair, as a brunette…) so I guess I like, but I don’t think of it much.

DramaAlpaca · 25/04/2024 00:55

Mine are hazel. They look brown from a distance but are actually very dark green with brown highlights. They suit the rest of my colouring so yes, I suppose I like them.

I'm attracted to men with blue eyes though. I love blue eyes.

Mine are brown and I love them. I always feel sad for people with brown eyes but desire another colour. Brown eyes have such richness and depth.

pelotonaddiction · 25/04/2024 01:07

Green and yes, I get a lot of comments on them

MrWarmth · 25/04/2024 01:09

Mine are brown and I love them. I am a man with wonderful eyelashes and eyebrows, I get comments on those so the eye colour doesn't matter.

I have blue eyes and I don’t particularly like them. They’re very pale blue and I feel that they don’t stand out as much as I’d like. Some blue eyes look nice. My DH has quite large, deep blue eyes that are lovely. My 10 month old DS has his eyes and people are always complimenting them.

ADogCalledThor · 25/04/2024 01:17

Dark brown. I don’t really think about whether I like them, I suppose they’re nice. 👀

I get compliments that I look nice so I guess others must like them. I like brown or blue eyes on other people.

Same. I have brown eyes and never wished they were lighter. It’s really sad that brown eyes are the least desirable.

Garlicked · 25/04/2024 01:30

Typical British blue-grey. Unexciting but of course I like them! They're my only eyes!

TheCoffeeNebula · 25/04/2024 01:34

Bluey greyey greeny murk, and no, not really. But they work okay, so what they look like is other people's problem, really.

coxesorangepippin · 25/04/2024 01:35

Mine are dark blue

I really like them

LifeExperience · 25/04/2024 01:36

Blue-green like you, OP. If I wear blue they look blue, if I wear any other color they're green.

Kandalama · 25/04/2024 01:45

Mine are Green. 🇮🇪( that’ll be the Irish genes )
I neither like nor dislike, tbh I’ve never really thought about it🙃
My kids are
brown….really striking
Blue…..goes with the blond hair😆
Green……a glowing green really nice.
dh….blue and really suits him

Giggorata · 25/04/2024 01:46

Grey green with an orange ring around the pupil (heterochromatic)
They look OK but I wish I had a proper colour.
I can't put all that on the passport.

Brown is my favourite, I’d love to have brown. You’re talking to the wrong people

GogAndMagog · 25/04/2024 01:52

I have huge blue eyes that used to be complimented when I was younger (Cybil Shepherd type).

Now I'm a bit older it is hard as they now show the first inkling of a bad night and after twoikids and menepause they dominate my whole face and say 'yes, i'm knackered' 😆

spuddy4 · 25/04/2024 08:05

Mine are a very light blue, icy blue if you like, they are also very big and people always comment on them. My grandmother says when I was a baby she would get stopped all the time with me in the pram and people would say I looked like a china doll, I find that creepy because I don't like them 😂

Sometimes I think they make me look unapproachable and cold though, a few people have said I give a mean death stare when I think I'm just being normal.

elevens24 · 25/04/2024 08:07

Mine are brown. Tbh I've never given them much thought.

gingerbreddy · 25/04/2024 08:07

Green. It’s one of the things I like about myself.

I’ve had people accuse me of faking them with contact lenses before now! I used to wear contacts but they were actually slightly blue tinged so that was fun to show the doubters
