I’ve heard of and seen people whose eyes apparently change color often, like with lighting or their mood even. Cecil didn’t address this so I was wondering if anyone else knows anything about it.
My eyes change color on a regular basis, ranging from bright blue to grey to bright green and back again. I actually sat in front of a mirror one day and watched it happen over a period of about 1/2 hour. I don’t know why it happens. The circumstances do not seem to be consistent.
I have two different coloured eyes, one blue and one brown. It was interesting reading that link to cecil’s comments, because I also have a twin brother,just struck me as strange. Anyway, I was never popped in the eye when I was younger, as David Bowie was, so it must be genetic in my case, although all my immediate family have blue eyes. A funny aside is, when I was younger, to make me feel comfortable with it my mom would tell me I had been blessed by the gods (<shrug>) But I never have felt uncomfortable.

Nobody seems to have an explanation for eyes that change colors by mood.
