2. Mine do
They're green/brown hazel. Usually mostly brown but sometimes very green (like when I'm really, really pissed off) and often an interesting combination of the two.

4. No, but they're two colors to begin with.
Depending on the light, what I'm wearing, etc either the green of the wider exterior ring or the interior copper ring can seem more prominent.

8. Nope, always grey/blue.
Although if I look up real close, I see that they actually have yellow in them too, although that isn't apparent if you're not looking hard.

9. my little sisters' eyes are that way
ice blue with a tiny bit of yellow around the pupil


here's my eye:


i think which color shows up more also has a lot to do with how dilated my pupils are.

13. My eyes can't decide what color they are long enough to do that.
They've got a little bit of green, a little bit of blue, a little bit of grey... but as far as I know they never seem to actually change color. Just the ratio of how much blue, green or grey there is seems to shift a bit. :P

Sometimes they appear darker depending on what I'm wearing. My brother has hazel eyes and they change color, they can be kind of brown, or very green. The bastard. He got the dark skin/hair and color change eyes. I get the fair skin that never tans and plain ol' blue eyes. *sigh* :P

18. I've been told they do
Normally they are mostly brown but I've been told when 'aroused' they are more green.

My response was 'next time I'll look in the mirror.'

BFs response was 'call me, I'll double check for you.' :rofl:

24. No, but sometimes they look darker or lighter. Always blue, though.
When I dyed my hair dark brown, they looked even bluer.

27. Babies eyes change color
Caucasian babies eyes go from blue to some other color (brown for both of my boys) and your eye color tends to fade and get lighter when you become aged. I think you're just mugging for compliments, though.

29. Yes, they do!
As a matter of fact, one of my closest friends is an eye doctor, and a couple of weeks ago I told him that I was thinking about getting colored contacts because I was tired of my eyes being non-descript. He said "What do you mean? They're blue!" I told him to point one of his optometry lights directly in my eyes. When he did, he said "Whoa - okay, now they're green".

I don't know what color I'm gonna end up choosing for my contacts - but since it seems that most people say my eyes are green, I'm probably going with that. :) :hi:

39. Mine are more green, but can look blue in some light.
I color my hair blonder, but my natural hair color looks blond, brown, or red depending on the light as well.

Hair color? Eye color? :shrug:

41. Yup. Hazel eyes will do that.
Though mine seem to depend more upon what color I'm wearing than to the ambient light. They change from green to light brown to a dark blue-gray.
