Was trying to do an online colours thing but unsure what colour these are. Are they sort of grey?

Ooh. Yes I’d say grey. I’ve never met anyone with actual grey eyes, only read about them in books, so you are very exciting to me!

joysmoy66 · 17/02/2021 17:14

Thank you! Smile

Yes grey, mine are like this but can look blue sometimes depending on make up and the colour of top worn.

joysmoy66 · 17/02/2021 18:15

huuuuunnnndderrricks · 17/02/2021 18:23

They look green to me .

ThatQuietOne · 17/02/2021 18:48

They’re quite like mine which can look grey or green (do they look green if you wear green? Mine do)

Blue grey. Suspect they'll change with what you are wearing?

joysmoy66 · 17/02/2021 18:57

Yes and the lighting

Definitely the grey end of blue, so there are loads of eyeshadow colours you can go with 😊

Besom · 17/02/2021 18:59

They look green/grey to me. Slightly different to mine which are blue/grey.

Agree with @Besom they look green/grey to me. And I also have blue/grey.

kennelmaid · 17/02/2021 19:02

Same colour as my sofa, if that helps.

Grey/green v pretty. Mine are a bluey green

goldielockdown2 · 17/02/2021 20:02

Grey, sometimes called changeable as they can appear blue or green.

TableNiner · 17/02/2021 20:03

Mine are this colour, I used to say blue but there are people with much blue-r ones so I agree grey.

dontgobaconmyheart · 17/02/2021 20:11

I also have grey eyes but I do think it's hard to tell in unnatural light. Natural light is probably a better guide.

On the face of it they look greeny grey. I'd say my own eyes are more of a grey/blue but I never get the fuss over grey eyes, it does seem people are always keen to have a rare eye colour. For a 'rare' eye colour it seems to crop up a lot and I think true grey is a different kettle of fish. My own eyes seem fairly boring to me. In dark light they look like murky grey UK seawater and in natural light they look watery stainless steel. It isn't striking and I only get compliments when people look very closely which is when they notice they're quite grey. From a distance it looks nondescript I am quite certain.

Anecdotally only realised they were grey rather than blue/green/whatever when a geneticist noted it as symptomatic of a medical condition I have, which was fascinating.

@minipie, are you a Georgette Heyer fan? I always associate grey eyes with her heroines Smile
