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 a really nice proper blue with a dark blue rim, and quite big. Lovely (if I do say so myself).

Hazel, they change colour too sometimes more brown or more green. I like them now that I've embraced my autumn colouring but always wanted my dark hair with blue eyes when I was younger, I love that look.

knackeredcat · 25/04/2024 08:23

Pale blue with a few flecks of light green, sometimes look aquamarine in the right light. I'm a pale skinned and dark haired Celt so they're a bit of a contrast, and they have been complimented. Naturally long eyelashes help too. I don't like much about myself but I do like my eyes.

ViciousCurrentBun · 25/04/2024 08:23

Mine are brown and I have never thought about it.
DH has blue, green, grey eyes that seem to change colour, I have used the “eyes like limpid pools’ quote on him, his are actually lovely to look at.

I love my blue eyes. X

Beezknees · 25/04/2024 08:34

Same as you, blue/green. I love my eye colour. I have pale skin and very dark hair, almost black so together it's all quite striking.

Jasmin1971 · 25/04/2024 08:44

Mid blue, round and big. They let far too much light in, other than that I like them.

JustHavinABreak · 25/04/2024 08:47

Brown, and quite possibly the only part of my body that I like

Beebumble2 · 25/04/2024 08:48

Hazel, the brown is a little halo around the iris, the rest is green. I quite like them.

Xanadu58 · 25/04/2024 08:50

Green . I like them .

Sunnyside4 · 25/04/2024 08:50

Mine are dark blue, like sea blue with a few lighter flecks. I actually like them (must remember that when I'm judging myself) as they don't stand out but are a bit unusual.

Echobelly · 25/04/2024 08:54

I have blue-grey eyes that people quite often compliment the colour of. DH has unusual eyes - he's quite dark complexioned, but has very striking pale green eyes. I do like dark colouring with pale eyes on a bloke. DS's son's eyes started grey blue but as he gets older they are becoming more like DH's green.

FindingMeno · 25/04/2024 08:54

Hazel I guess. They're green- amber.
They are unusual and attract compliments.
Strangely I used to dislike them when I was younger.

KickboxingWanker · 25/04/2024 08:58

Mine were bright blue as a child - now green.
I do like them, just not the bags underneath them.

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.

Edited

This is what I have, I didn't know it had a name!
I quite like them, I've had lots of comments. I've been told I have eyes like a cat.

SkeletonBatsflyatnight · 25/04/2024 09:00

Grey. They reflect whatever I'm wearing so I wear lots of blue, green and violet. I'm olive skinned with very dark hair so always had comments because apparently people expect me to have brown eyes.

My gran had very dark brown eyes, in some lights it was hard to distinguish her pupils. I wanted eyes like that as a teenager.

Spendonsend · 25/04/2024 09:03

I dont know. Sludgy?
The bit round the pupil is an orangy brown, then the rest is grey/blue, green and greeny/brown.

Same here ☺️
I love brown eyes though in response to PP saying they aren't desirable. I think they are so deep, warm and mysterious!

Jokl · 25/04/2024 09:06

Blue, with a little green towards the centre. I like my eyes, I’ve always had a lot of compliments on them. They’re a bit quirky as my eyeballs have a degree of scarring, to be a bit vague, which is only noticeable quite close up.

BeachHutsAndDeckchairs · 25/04/2024 09:06

Blue and yes, I like them.

Chinuplippyon · 25/04/2024 09:09

Blue green, with a dark ring around the outer iris and a yellowish one within. Not striking as quite small (not my best feature tbh) but interesting up close and change a lot depending on light and what I'm wearing.

Mairzydotes · 25/04/2024 09:09

Bluey green grey. If they are bloodshot they look extremely green . I like them but I don't get many compliments, I don't think they particularly stand put.

Coastalcreeksider · 25/04/2024 09:10

Mine are dark bluey grey.

At the dentist a few years ago, the dental nurse said what lovely colour my eyes were.

I always thought of them as being the colour of an angry sea and always wanted them to be a brighter colour blue.

A friend has green eyes, I really envy her that colour, they are gorgeous.

Morewineplease10 · 25/04/2024 09:15

Mine are Hazel and I like them.
Green is my favourite and blue my least.

Iamacatslave · 25/04/2024 09:19

I have blue almond shaped eyes.
