Hazel Eyes

[azurelunatic]

Evidently my eyes photograph as brown or black. They're actually not.

Hazel is really such an obnoxious catchall term for eye color. They say that hazel eyes are the only ones that change color. My eyes don't change color. They are not a nonspecific catchall color. Around my pupils, the irises are a lovely orange-brown. The outer edges of the iris are two different colors, one on the inner side towards my nose, a different color on the outer side towards the sides of my face. The inner sides are dark green, and the outer sides are dark blue. My eyes may appear to change color based on light and dilation, but the color is the same, and it never shifts around.

Mama said that she'd been hoping that we would have lovely brown eyes like FatherSir has, but I like my pretty blue and green and orange eyes.

Hazel Eyes Rock!

Mine are orange and green and gray and I wouldn't trade them for any other.

I like eyes.

My eyes are brown. In certain light, they look brown. In the light, they look brown. They only take on a slight hazel-y green tint if I've been sobbing disconsolately, which sort of cancels out the exotic effect, if you know what I mean.

My eyes have the green stand out if I've been bawling my eyes out too.

I think it's to contrast with the red.

Me too.

The trick eyes thing?

Chris' eyes are mostly blue, but the ring around the pupil is the exact same shade of orange-red that his hair is. I love that his eyes and hair match so beautifully. :)

My eyes, of course, are just plain green. They occasionally show up as blue when the light hits them oddly, though not as much as they used to when I had blonde hair and tanned skin and wore pastels a lot.

You used to have blonde hair?

'Til I was about 16. I would've called it ash blonde 'til I was in my early twenties. I would say it was *brown* between 20-25 or so, and then I got the copper highlights that steadily increased into the auburn I have now.

Don't know how much the fact that I was outside all the time as a kid had to do with it - the sun *did* bleach my hair quite a bit, so it might've kept it a lighter blonde than it normally would've been. *shrug*

Grey eyes

I have grey eyes and so does my mother. But the hues are different, mine are green-grey while her eyes are blue-grey. The Hubby has hazel eyes which do change with what ever coulour he wears.
