Normally they are bluish-gray with little hints of green and yellow. When I’m sick they often turn steel-gray with no green or yellow at all. They will occasionally decide to be bright blue for a few hours.
[U RL=“http://wazzup-playjar-ism.blogspot.com/2008/04/rarest-eye-colors.html”]Saw this article a long time ago claiming black eyes existed. The eyes on that picture are certainly gorgeous. Does that color actually exist, or is it just a Photoshop?
Brown, so dark I can’t wear colored contacts. Drat!
Mine are green, with a little hazel mixed in. And one eye is very slightly bluer than the other.
And in the chart, I like how the bars match the colors.
I always answer “gray” but they can be blue or green depending. Really they’re almost a khaki color. I once did an eyedropper tool sample of a photo of my iris in Photoshop and then clicked on the color swatch to see what the main hue was, and it was ORANGE. Huh.
Mine used to be a medium-brown-amber-hazel-green. People would ask me sometimes what color my eyes were because sometimes they took on a different hue depending on what I was wearing or my mood.
Now they’re just dark brown from a glaucoma medication I used for a year that I ended up not really needing. Not happy about it, but nothing to be done.
Blue is beating brown because it’s one category, wheres “brown” is divided into brown, hazel, and amber.
Speaking of eyes, does anyone know how to take a good picture of your eyes? I’ve tried, and while you can see how they’re grayish blue-green the pictures are awfully fuzzy.
Set your camera to macro mode, get good strong lighting from above and behind the camera (sunlight is ideal), and either keep your hand as steady as possible or use a tripod and a timer. I’ve taken excellent photos of my eyes using a camera phone in sunlight.
