Grey. The same as my mother, my brother, and my grandmother.

Mine are similar to that, but I call them grayish/greenish/bluish because they’re nothing conclusive. I put Gray on my license. And it depends on what I wear and the lighting.

Green. [Unmistakeably green](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/frenchified/eyecropped.jpg). And also apparently a little bloodshot today. A lot of people I meet in real life think they’re brown, because I wear glasses and they just don’t pay attention, and almost everybody else in my family has brown eyes. There’s a darker blue-green ring around the outside and a yellow ring around the pupil, because my eyes are fat, yo.

You have my eyes! Well, kinda. Mine are bluer, but not blue. You do not have fat eyes. You just have enough padding to hold onto. I have fat eyes. I think my eyes are bluer because I have more yellow radiating through my irises, so they can look blue from a distance. Or green. Depending on what I’m wearing. And the light. And color of the room. And…

I never know what to put down on those damn forms that ask for eye color. No one I ask ever gives me a good answer, either.

My eyes are green, mostly. Sometimes they appear hazel, sometimes blue, sometimes grey. It depends on the light and what I’m wearing.  
These are some seriously crappy cell phone pictures, but it’s the best I can do right now:
