I’ve seen lots of women (and men) with light hair and green eyes, but I’ve never seen the Scarlett O’Hara combination of black hair and green eyes, like a kitten. Any takers on that one? ---

Black hair, hazel eyes, **racinchikki**. Actually my hair has had some white in it since just before I turned 14. I have freckles, too…damn things. ---

Red/copper coloured hair, freaky gold-coloured light brown eyes. ---

I have black hair and green eyes. Ok the hair is dyed but naturally it is red/brown with bits of green in it (bizarrely). ---

Don’t know how that mmmbop got in there - confusing my posts - oh and I have freckles too. ---

**racinchikki** , you made me think of a young male co-worker from many years ago. I didn’t know his name, but I ran into him every now and then. He was a good-looking guy, and damned if he didn’t have coal-black hair and and the greenest eyes I ever saw. I mean, they looked like emeralds under ice. I hope I wasn’t too obvious as I stared at him, mesmerized. Meh, he was probably used to it. Funny how I remember him after all these years. ---

Auburn hair/hazel eyes that tend more towards green here. Oddly enough, they turn bright green when I’m sick. It’s not quite what you were looking for **racinchikki** , but my grandmother had black hair and blue eyes. I sometimes wish I’d gotten her colouring. ---

Blonde / vaguely greenish-greyish-mud-color here. Does that count, or are you looking for emerald green? ---

Porpentine, emerald green is nice, but so are the muti-colored eyes, kinda like rainbows. Some guys like boobs, some like butts, EYES have always done it for me! ---

My grandmother had black hair and green eyes. She got cataract surgery back in the olden days too, so both of her eyes had little black boxes in the irises. (I’m sort of surprised people don’t do that recreationally as a body mod now.) I have dark brown hair (though it would probably turn red if I was in the sun enough) and hazel eyes. They’re usually brown with green bits, but they turn all green most notably in the pool. ( **Audrey Levins** sounds like she has hazel eyes also.) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ms Macphisto \* > \*\*Auburn hair/hazel eyes that tend more towards green here. Oddly enough, they turn bright green when I’m sick. \*\* I don’t think that’s odd at all. I’ve noticed the same thing in my own eyes, which are the blue varation that changes like hazel: sick= greenish, too little sleep = vivid “are you wearing contacts?” teal. There’s more than just clothing color responsible for color changes to eyes. As for the OP I’m a redhead, and while my eyes are _usually_ a blue to gray, some people have sworn they’re always green when they’ve looked at them. I only notice them being green on ocassion 🙂 ---

Dark blonde, naturally. Occasionally dyed red-brown. My eyes are indecisive - usually blue, sometimes grey, occasionally green. ---

I have red hair (natural) and grass-green eyes (also natural). Unfortunately for you, **d\_redguy** has already married them. He married the rest of me, too, I suppose. 😛 Oddly enough, my eyes were blue until I was 12. It was sudden. I looked in the mirror one morning and went “AAAHH! What the f\*\*k?” Same thing happened to my mom. ---

Golden brown with hazel eyes that occasionally turn bright green when I am very happy or very upset. ---

Natural blonde (although I highlight it to brighten it up a bit) and bright green eyes. I didn’t think this was so rare. ---

I can’t think of a single person I’ve known who had REALLY green eyes. I’ve seen some beautiful blue ones _sigh_, but not green.
