What colour are my eyes

I've told myself my whole life that I have green eyes. On closer inspection at age 36 I've realised they're not!
The back story is that I got very excited the other day after realising that my (shitty and uninvolved father that I barely know) has brown eyes and my mum has blue. I figured that maybe he isn't my dad after all but alas, apparently eye genetics are more complex than I realised so he probably is my dad after all (sigh). We don't look much alike either so there's still hope.
Anyway, what colour would you say mine are? One gloomy living room and one daylight pic.

A bit of a guess without a picture!

I am guessing your pictures are still under review @User415373 .......?

Green/hazel?

HereComesEverybody · 24/02/2025 21:02

I would say green! They're similar-ish to mine & mine are def green with gold rings around the pupil

GrizeldaMcBain · 24/02/2025 21:02

I’d say green

Gatekeeper · 24/02/2025 21:02

Hazel

Bringmeahigherlove · 24/02/2025 21:02

Green

WorthySnail · 24/02/2025 21:04

Green

SabreIsMyFave · 24/02/2025 21:04

Green for sure in pic 1, but more grey in pic 2. I am guessing they look green most of the time @User415373

ReadingRubbish · 24/02/2025 21:06

I'd say grey, browny blue. Loads of people have eyes which aren't a solid definite colour. Mine are hazel but I can make them appear green with makeup and I can almost make them appear sandy coloured.

TrainTicket · 24/02/2025 21:07

Grey with a Green tinge.

LoztWorld · 24/02/2025 21:10

Beautiful eyes. Grey or hazel I think!

RosesAndHellebores · 24/02/2025 21:11

The same as my ds. His eyes were quite green until he was a teen and then they turned Hazel. He still has a glint of green.

I am brown eyed and tan like a nut. DH is blonde with a hint of ginger and freckles and his eyes are blue/grey. DS tans like a nut but is naturally blonder than me. I think it's my Continental genes trying to force their way out.

DD is all blonde and blue eyed, far more in her father's mould but takes a light tan.

HaroldMeaker · 24/02/2025 21:13

Very pretty green. Hazel imo has more brown.

justanotherposterfrom · 24/02/2025 21:20

Your eye colour looks like mine, and also one of my DS's.
I'd say green, not a light colour green but since not brown, not blue, not true hazel, I'd have to go with a shade of green.

ChanelBoucle · 24/02/2025 21:24

Grey-green.
Not hazel; they aren’t brown enough.

Theseventhmagpie · 24/02/2025 21:26

Hazel, which is actually quite a rare colour and surprisingly rarer than blue.

Hellohelga · 24/02/2025 21:26

Your eyes are the same as my daughters. I have blue eyes and my DH has brown eyes. We call it green but it’s really hazel with a tiny bit of blue.

Sorry, pics go under review now! Which is a good thing I think but a bit of a delay.

Ah so some of you think more green too. That's interesting!
I'm trying to get my head around the genetics of it, it's so interesting.

Grey

Kittygolightlyy · 24/02/2025 21:36

Olive green

reesewithoutaspoon · 24/02/2025 21:36

Green hazel

ShamrockShenanigans · 24/02/2025 21:38

When a Mumsnetter asks what colour her eyes are, they're always green or hazel.

Without even opening the thread 😁

Peachtastic · 24/02/2025 21:38

They look pretty much exactly like mine and folk always tell me they're hazel! 😂 Even though they're mostly green 🤷🏽‍♀️
