Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and is entirely subjective. That said, my subjective standards are the best I have ever come across, and so I feel impelled to reveal them to the world so that you may benefit from my graciousness.
It’s not blue eyes, or green eyes, or brown eyes. It’s Amber Eyes.
It is freakishly rare, but with genetic engineering and other human enhancement, expect to see more of this in the coming century.
Amber eyes are not light brown, they’re brownish gold. My brother has amber hazel eyes. Or hazel amber. They’re dark orangey brown with flecks of gold and green. Really striking.
And even though these look light brownish/amber to me, they are labeled “cognac” colored eyes
Either way, it’s clear this is the most striking color. Reminds me of my childhood going to that mall store natural wonders where they sold those tigers eye rocks with the copper bands that reflected light
Yeah, I’m wondering about that myself, plus the tendency to over saturate eyes in portrait post-processing. But there does appear to be something called amber eyes. I’m not entirely sure I’ve ever seen eyes I’d call amber, but I’m not one who really notices eye color.
Aw shucks, that’s my eye color, I never knew I was freakishly rare.
The coolest eyes I’ve ever seen were a friend of mine who had one light grey eye, and one eye that was green with a brown splotch on about 1/3rd of the iris. Must have been hit with a cosmic ray while in the womb.
I had a friend whose dog was named Amber. Guess why?
When I took HS biology, and we got to genetics, the teacher mentioned that condition. My lab partner raised his hand, and pointed out that he was one of the people who had it. We had those kind of desks that were wide enough for two people to share, and I had sat next to him all year without noticing.
What you’re calling amber is very very close to Hazel. Which is my wife’s eye color. At least that is the color that is listed on her DL. I think they ARE the most beautiful eyes in the entire state of Texas. Then again, I’m pretty sure I’m a tad partial.
But yes, those are pretty eyes in the linked photo. I’m not sure if that amber–as you call it–is my favorite. I love vivid green eyes, and am happy that’s my personal eye color. Though, at middle age they’re not quite as vivid as they were some 20 or more years ago. But, man…green eyes on a red-head woman? Truly beautiful, I think.
