This applies to both the opposite as well as same sexe(s). What is your favorite hair and eye color on the opposite sex? And what hair and eye colour would you prefer on yourself? So it goes like this: My favorite hair color on the opposite sex is … My favorite eye color on the opposite sex is … The hair color I would love to have is… The eye color I would love to have is… _My choices?_ I would love to have jet black hair (done deal) and really piercing blue or aquamarine eyes (I have very light-green hazely eyes). In the opposite sex I prefer light brown or golden (not blonde) hair combined with very light blue eyes. Pur-fect. So how bout you? ---

Hmm…let’s see…I’d like to have my bright banana yellow hair again, and emerald green eyes (currently I’m auburn/black in the hair/eyes dept.) As far as the opposite sex, I think that either jet black/blue hair and red or orange eyes would be incredibly sexy. ---

I’ve always been fond of the black hair/blue eyes combination. I think it’s absolutely gorgeous. I’ve always wanted red hair to go with my blue eyes but every time I dye my hair it never comes out right. I suppose I’m always gonna have blonde hair/blue eyes. (not that it’s a terrible combination, I’d just rather have red hair) ---

I love dark hair and dark eyes. That having been said, the combination that ALWAYS gets my attention is black hair with blue/steely grey eyes. I have brown hair and brown eyes, very boring indeed. I’d like to have white/blonde hair and vivid blue eyes or the above-mentioned black hair/grey eyes combination. 🙂 Max ---

**Xavier** ’s coloring sounds very lovely! Dark hair and hazel eyes, my oh my. The contrasts are always eye-catching, be it black hair/green eyes or blond hair/black eyes. My favorite hair color on the opposite sex is …Dark, black or brown My favorite eye color on the opposite sex is …nothing beats icy blue The hair color I would love to have is…Auburn red The eye color I would love to have is…Light green The colors I have are blue eyes and hair that isn’t blonde, isn’t red, and isn’t brown, but some odd combination of the three. .:Nichol:. ---

Opposite sex: I’ve almost always liked brunettes, but thats because they are in the majority. I’ve liked a few redheads, actually. Eye color? Who cares? Myself: I am a brunette. I like it just fine. My eyes are sort of greenish-gray-beige. I would like green eyes, like the green of the big smile smilie.😃 ---

On the opposite sex? Couldn’t care less. My fantasy man has black hair and green eyes. For myself I’m happy with my hazel eyes and auburn hair although I could do without the grey in it. ---

_Boringness ahead_ Me: black hair, _very_ dark brown eyes that almost look black. Op sex: black/brown hair, brown eyes (although sometimes the dark/blue combo looks okay. I still prefer dark eyes). ---

I also like unusual combinations. My husband and I could have kids with potentially any combination, it will be fun to see what happens! He has truly black hair (unusual for a white guy, I think) and brown eyes, I have blonde / light brown hair and blue eyes. His brother has blue eyes too so I know our kids could have either (he must have a brown / blue gene combo). Red hair also runs in my family. I am hoping someday for a black hair / blue eyes combo or even blonde / brown eyes, or even red hair / brown eyes would be neat. His parents are the same combo as we are though, and they had one who looks like dad and one who looks like mom, with no mixing. Does anyone know how genes for hair and eye color are linked? (sorry if this is too much of a hijack, I am just wondering why so many people seem to like unusual combinations and why you don’t see many people with light / dark combos - it seems like blonde hair=blue eyes, black hair=brown eyes, etc). ---

I am such a sucker for black hair and blue eyes on guys. Pure, total sucker. Currently I’d just like my coloring to be more of what it already is. I’m kind of a murky blonde with pale grey/blue eyes, and I’d like to be a clear, pale gold blonde with bright real blue eyes. Yea for highlights and color contacts say I. ---

I’ve always liked dark-haired guys; I’ve always had a fondness for Mel-Gibson-style blue eyes, but I’ve never even dated a man who’s got eyes that blue. (Mr. Levins’ eyes are a dark, chocolatey brown and I find them quite yummy.) My hair is strawberry blonde and I’ve got honey-brown eyes (not the dark chocolatey kind referred to above) and if I could, I’d like to see what I look like with really dark hair and bright green eyes. But I feel certain that somebody somewhere would love to have my coloring, which is sad, b/c I’m over here lusting after theirs. 😃 ---

Ooooh. I would love dark brown hair. Naturally, I have light brown hair and green eyes and would love darker hair so my eyes would POP just like my momma’s! In the opposite sex: blonde hair, blue eyes. Don’t know why…having a blonde/blue eyed male fetish lately! (could be because my hubby is blonde and blue eyed!) ---

Me: dark brown, almost black hair, eyes that are equally dark. However, I wear glasses, so to see my eyes properly, you’ll have to find some way of getting me to remove my glasses (which isn’t easy as I’m almost blind without them!). On a man - dark hair, and just gorgeous eyes. Preferably an unusual colour. ---

My favorite hair color on the opposite sex is …sun-kissed golden brown, and dark brown/black. My favorite eye color on the opposite sex is … beautiful, pure blue or a hypnotizing blue/grey. The hair color I would love to have is…the color I have now (light/medium blonde). I naturally have dark brown hair, but I lighten it to my current color. I wish I was a natural dark blonde, though. It would make things so much easier for my poor hair. The eye color I would love to have is…a very light green, cornflower blue, or violet. I’ve always thought it would be wonderful to have violet eyes. My eyes are regular forest green. ---
