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.

Grey green hazel blue.
Alternatively upload a photo to an image colour picker website it'll tell you

Greeny grey hazel. My aunt has exactly that colour and calls them ‘cow pat’ 🤣
You have nice eyes, op!

PearPineappleApplePen · 24/02/2025 22:00

Your eyes are a very similar colour to mine. I'd say they were grey/blue tinged with a green.

Hazel

Green

Beautiful hazely green. One of my kids is the same. Their parents are: 1 grey / blue and one deep brown which is actually hazel (ie multiple colours) when you look closely.

Greenish. It’s the third most common eye colour in the UK after blue (then blue/grey). I wouldn’t worry too much about your parentage! Sounds very normal to me. I have the same, would have loved my dad’s more uncommon brown eyes, they were so dark, and looked great with his red hair! I’m just a run of the mill blonde with hazel eyes.

Hazel.

Artyblartfast · 24/02/2025 22:34

Green and very like mine. My Dad had brown eyes. My mum has blue eyes. My brother has brown eyes.

Hazel

Dark green more than anything.

My ds has eyes like this and they're stunning with his black hair.

I'm a redhead with blue eyes , my partner has black hair with brown eyes...

Same, my sis is blonde with beautiful brown eyes. She also has darker skin and tans, whereas I'm a pale blonde that's never had a line!
My brother has our mother's blue eyes.

Yes I describe as a muddy, dirty, green poo colouring which isn't the nicest way! I used to really dislike them and I've been looking into getting coloured contacts not now I've had a good look I can see the beauty in the different colours.

Mine are the same as yours and my optician says they are essentially grey with hazel and green too.

Queenofparcels · 25/02/2025 08:07

Hazel.
My late mothers' were like that.

User415373 · 25/02/2025 08:19

I've just put a pic into a colour app thing and some highlights of colours it's picked out in my eyes:
Drab 🤣 this sums it up really
Smoke
Old bamboo
Tobacco brown
Silver willow green
And various other green shades so maybe they are more green than I thought. That's with a bright daylight pic though.

A pic in the sunshine - I think I'll stick with greeny-hazel!

Grey green with an amber corona around the pupil. My husband has similar: very striking and unusual.

ILikeMyBike · 26/02/2025 09:28

Oh gosh OP definitely not drab! Your eyes are absolutely beautiful!

My son's eyes (v similar to yours) remind me of looking into a deep pool of greenish water and spotting fish and plants in shafts of sunlight.

Christwosheds · 18/05/2025 20:54

Green .
Hazel eyes are gold based, so a light golden brown, or a greeny gold.

ZebraPrintt · 18/05/2025 21:08

Mine are similar to yours. I always thought green, but my partner's always says they're different every day, sometimes green, blue or brown
