A simple question - what is your hair color and eye color?
This poll was sorta/kinda inspired by John DiFool’s recent eye color poll. It’s a fairly interesting thread, and it got me thinking about what eye color/hair color combos are most and least common.
Anyway, my hair is brown, and my eyes, too, are brown. To be a bit more specific, my hair is a very dark shade of brown, while my eyes are of a more intermediate shade.
It was a toss up between brown hair and red hair for me - I finally settled on brown, as it certainly is that for the most part, but there’s a definite red component there and in some lights it does look quite red.
Not sure if we’re supposed to vote for our natural colours or our current colours, so I haven’t actually voted yet. Naturally, brown hair and blue eyes. Currently, auburn hair (resulting from several layers of different dyes, haha) and blue eyes.
Vote for your natural hair. If you had black hair but now have grey hair, or had brown hair but now have red due to dying it, vote as if you still had your natural hair color.
My kids’ dad comes from a family of redheads. His sister married a Guamanian dude. Their three kids were: black hair/brown eyes, blond hair/green eyes, and red hair/blue eyes. I always thought that was a great trick of genetics.
How about this one? I grew up with bright blond hair, and it got darker and darker over time; in my late 20s, people disagreed on whether it was brown, blond, or “wheat,” and it’s even darker now, but it still seems qualitatively different from really brown hair, and still looks wheaten with the light on it.
I’m brown and brown; the family includes black and brown (Mom); reddish brown and brown (Middlebro, who used to be asked “why do you dye your hair”, nowadays people just assume he dyes it but don’t ask); ash blonde and mutating-grey (Dad and Littlebro, both had golden hair as children); raven and black (Middlebro’s wife, Nephew and Niece).
