My hair has changed colors 4 times, but is currently brown with a few streaks of blond. I have grey eyes. ---

I’m in the grey crowd, but I had a hard choice. Although not jet black it used to be very dark once upon a time so I ticked off black instead of brown. ---

Blonde hair and green eyes. ---

Good old medium brown hair with blue eyes. When I voted in the poll it was second by one vote to brown/brown. ---

Blond hair and grey eyes. They can be more green or more blue depending on what I wear – my driver’s license says blue. But they are pretty clearly grey. I notice this is not a common color combo based on the poll. ---

> [@Nametag](#): > > How about this one? I grew up with bright blond hair, and it got darker and darker over time; in my late 20s, people disagreed on whether it was brown, blond, or “wheat,” and it’s even darker now, but it still seems qualitatively different from really brown hair, and still looks wheaten with the light on it. Blonde comes in a wide variety of [shades](http://www.minutemagichair.com/images/products/enlarged/24B-27H613.jpg). My hair as a child started out white, then got darker and darker. Today it’s still blonde, just very dark ash blonde, which is basically colorless and drab, which is why I must color or highlight it. Yours is probably the same. ---

My eyes are blue but my hair is slowly becoming flesh coloured… ---

Light brown hair, blue eyes, once again in the majority. ---

> [@Rala](#): > > Blonde hair and green eyes. Yeah, me too, except . . . my hair really isn’t blonde anymore. I mean, I **make** it blonde, but it’s more of a light brown shot through with gray nowadays. My eyes were blue when I was a kid, but became greener. ---

Brown, brown, brown. Both eyes and hair. Eyes are bit more amber, but still brown. ---

Red hair (going a bit grey now) and blue eyes. ---

I ticked red hair, though it could be considered blonde as well. The eyes are brown. ---

I can’t vote, because roughly 52% of people where I live now say my hair is blond, other people insist it’s brown (I was platinum until I was 4, and I would call it a light red-brown these days, but the more time outside the more golden the top layers and ends are). I have blue eyes. ---

Oops. I suppose my hair color is closer to black than brown, but for some reason I reflexively clicked the brown/brown option. ---

> [@HazelNutCoffee](#): > > Oops. I suppose my hair color is closer to black than brown, but for some reason I reflexively clicked the brown/brown option. I changed one vote to black/brown from brown/brown. I’m a little surprised that I’m still the only one in my category at this point. ---

Blond hair/blue eyes - my hair has got darker as I’ve got older from white blond as a child to dark blond now (to the point of being borderline brown). My eyes are extremely blue though. ---

> [@NinetyWt](#): > > My kids’ dad comes from a family of redheads. His sister married a Guamanian dude. Their three kids were: black hair/brown eyes, blond hair/green eyes, and red hair/blue eyes. I always thought that was a great trick of genetics. Aww, that sounds COOL. My (brown/brown) brother married a middle Eastern looking woman (black/brown) and one kid looks like a clone of her, the other two have gorgeous blond hair and blue eyes. My hair started out pure white in childhood, darkened to light brown by age 14 or so. Ever since then, it has been returned to its proper dark blonde with lots of highlights - the way it was MEANT to be. (that brown phase was some kind of tragic anomaly, luckily I caught it and corrected it in time). ---

I’m glad to hear I’m not the only blonde with hair that gets darker and darker as we get older. And \*\*Olives \*\*- my eyes are the same - blue in some lights, green in others, gray in others . . . ---

That’s how my hair is. I was always blond as a kid and then highlighted it starting in my late teens. A few years ago, I let it go completely natural. Now, people who meet me for the first time describe me as having brown hair. My husband has the same color hair as me (and also started out with white-blond hair), and people describe him as blond. I think it’s because he has blue eyes and a fair, freckled complexion. He seems more blond. I have green eyes, that can also look blue or gray depending on what I’m wearing. (I put brown hair/green eyes on the poll.) ---
