Another eye poll. What’s your favorite eye color, and are you so blessed? ---

I like my eyes the way they are, colour wise. I’ve often been complimented on the blueness of them. Like I mentioned in the first eye colour poll, they change colour depending on the background or what I am wearing. However, I need glasses and would probably be willing to change my eyes out for bionic or otherwise enhanced artificial eyes given the chance… ---

I had to vote other - I don’t care what colour my eyes are; I just wish they worked better, and I had some assurance that they would keep working (my grandma was blind before she died, and my mom is having serious problems). ---

I’m a purple person who would kill for purple eyes ---

I wish mine were blue. My dad has them and two of my three siblings have them. Mine are boring brown. ---

My favorite eye color is very dark brown, which is what I have. But I knew a girl with what appeared to be jet black eyes, and I never forgot her. She was quite plain except for those amazing eyes. ---

I was born with violet eyes but they changed to hazel when I was two. My great-grandma had violet eyes her whole life. ---

I have dark brown eyes, but want green. My husband’s eyes are green though, so I’m hoping our kids inherit them! ---

It never occurred to me to wish I had an eye color other than what I have. I don’t have a “favorite”. All eyes are perfectly nice, and even some really stupendously beautiful eyes wouldn’t necessarily look good with my coloring. ---

I have hazel eyes that I love, but if I could choose another color, I’d go with dark gray. My eye color has never bothered me, but I wish my eyelids were shaped differently. I have hooded eyes and you can’t see the actual eyelid when my eyes are open. If I could change anything I’d like to do something different there. ---

When I was a kid I thought my eyes were plain. All of my family had the same colour and it just seemed drab. Then I started noticing how many people complimented me on my green eyes and I realized that they were not common at all. Now I have people ask me if I wear contacts all the time. ---

I have grey eyes and I wouldn’t want a drastic change (like green or violet), but I wouldn’t mind if they were a bit lighter or have a little more color to them. They’re pretty, and I get compliments, but to me they’re a little dull. Grey isn’t exactly an exciting color. ---

My favorite eye color _for other people_ is brown, but I like mine blue just the way they are. ---

I love my blue eyes. If I had to pick a second fav, it would be green.
