My eyes are basic brown, but with a gray rim around the edge. I’ve had people tell me it’s pretty, but I’ve also had a few people tell me it’s freaky-looking. The ‘pretty’ people outweigh the ‘freaky’ people, so I’m fine with it. I’ve always liked my eyes.
I’m one of those ice blue-eyed ladies too, as was a guy I went to highschool with. My eyes are bluish gray (light on the inside with a darker blue/gray rim), and there’s been times that I’ve startled myself when looking in the mirror and seeing that my “no colored” eyes are especially noticeable that particular day. It varies from day to day - sometimes they’re really no colored, sometimes they’re just blue, sometimes they’re gray. Don’t know if it depends on what I’m wearing or my makeup - perhaps I should experiment.
The coolest eyes I’ve ever seen weren’t on a person - they are on my two australian shepherds.
Pirate has one brown (amber) eye, and one blue (really light blue) eye. He’s very dark, so the color difference is very striking.
Zap, for her part, has eyes that no human could ever have (it’s a merling gene thing). One is amber, the other is amber and marbled with blue. Really really nifty.
I worked at a fireworks stand one summer, and I remember seeing a little girl there, probably about 4 or 5, who had the most gorgeous ice blue eyes I’d ever seen. They were like, glacier blue. I was so jealous.
I graduated with a boy whose eyes were so incredibly dark brown that they appeared to be black. It was as if he had giant pupils with no iris. Kind of freaky.
My daughter has the lightest light brown eyes I’ve ever seen. ( and I’m a sucker for brown eyes.) but everyone who meets her gets hypnotized by them.
I’m trying to figure out how to work this for my monetary gain.
( I have light blue eyes, but my hypnotizing skills, but sadly my powers have been taken by my doppelganger halfpint. Now I have to resort to the \w/ that Crocodile Dundee used to entrance people.) I just seem to make head banger’s giggle.
A friend of mine has one dark brown eye and one eye that looks like it is split diagonally with one half being dark brown and the other half being very pale blue. It is very striking but she has vision problems in that eye.
Does she, like picunurse’s fellownurse, snap at people who stare at the eye?
If you stare at The Odd-Eyed Lisas’ eyes, they kill you. Or breed with you!
A person I know online has the most gorgeous ice blue eyes I’ve seen. She has black hair and pale skin, too, so they really pop.
People who can actually see my eyes* think they’re really weird/neat. They’re grey with a hint of blue. They have the rather common dark ring on the outer edge, but the cool thing is I have a ring of bright rust orange around the pupil.
Oddly enough, when seen from a bit of a distance (aka a few feet, because of the info in the footnote), everyone says I have green eyes. Even digital photos of me condense my eye color down to green.
- I have small, deep set eyes and glasses, so y’know.
That kind of sounds like a reverse version of “The Tell-Tale Heart”.
But, no, she is used to it and just lets people get a closer look. I always tell her that she should wait till they get really close and then lick them.
The eyes of me, my sister, and my maternal cousins are peculiar–they change color in certain light. Most of the time they’re sort of greenish-blue-gray, but sometimes they look bright blue with a ring of gold around the pupil. I’ve had a couple instances where my companions freaked out because my eyes were suddenly brilliant green. I’ve startled myself by looking into a mirror and seeing brown eyes. Needles to say, it’s a tricky question when I get my driver’s license and have to pick a color. Currently it’s “hazel” whatever that means (my mom told me to say that).
My dad’s eyes are that ice-blue color, but hidden by glasses.
My thought process when I read that:
- You have 2 shepards?! From Australia?! Crazy! (having been a shepardess myself, I find shepards and stuff cool)
- Wait, you don’t consider them human?
- :smack:
not to toot my own horn, but I have those eyes that change color, from blue to green to grey, sometimes with a little brown thrown in. When I cry, they turn bright green. I remember when I first got my driver’s license, the guy asks me what color eyes I have. I looked panicked and said, “I don’t know!” He put down hazel.
This girl Carol in my high school class had chameleon eyes: they were blue, gray, or green depending on the light. Beautiful eyes, dancing and merry. She was, unfortunately, a total snob.
The most unusual eyes I have seen was this one guy at my high school. He had eyes the same color as the afghan woman in National Geographic. His didnt have the ring around the outside of the eye, but it was a startling color that went well with his pale skin and dirty blonde hair.

My eyes have a dark green ring around the outside, a golden brown with deep green in the middle, and then a green ring around the iris. When the sun hits the brown part, it reflects golden. Ive always found my eyes the most colorful of anyone Ive seen, but from a distance the dark green just blends together with a golden sheen to it.
I had an ex tell me that I had wolf-eyes, because of all the gold in them…
/end shameless plug
My neice has pale, pale blue eyes. We call her Wolf Girl.
My boyfriend’s eyes are deep black. I’ve only really seen his pupils a couple times in direct sunlight.
My son’s eyes are the same way. The last time I saw his pupils was when his eyes still had that newborn haze to them. Almost nine years ago.
Mine are bluish-grey. Sometimes they look greenish. Some people think they are pretty, sometimes they don’t really seem to have much color at all. Just like an overcast day.
The coolest eyes I’ve seen, and I am not making this up, belonged to the mother of a girl I went to school with. She had greenish eyes with an amber/yellow lightening bolt in one iris. Absolutely striking. Mother and daughter were gorgeous to boot.
My grandfather’s best friend was, like him, a WWI veteran. Unlike my grandfather, He was gassed at close range in 1918, was blind for several months (and had terrible eyesight thereafter) and his eyes were incredible. There was a milky blue iris on a gray-white sclera and when I first read the book DUNE I thought instantly of his eyes. (He also had two children who were born with serious birth defects; I wonder if the gassing was why [he had other children who were healthy]).
David Bowie (the rock star) has two differenc colored eyes, supposedly the result of a fight over a girl when he was young. The pupils are a different size too.
Pretty freaky looking if you ask me.

National Geographic managed to track her down a couple of years ago.

On a celebrity note, Kate Bosworth has really unusual (and cool!) eyes–you can sort of see it in this picture here, but if you’ve seen her in the recent makeup promotion she’s doing it’s a lot more apparent. She has one light bluish-grey eye and one eye that’s half-bluish-grey and half-hazel.
And, of course, there’s always Ol’ Blue Eyes–not Frank Sinatra, Elijah Wood.
