A rather straight-forward question.

Since there are all kinds of colors and mixes of them,
a poll would be useless.

My own eyes are green-grey with a few small veins of orange towards the pupil.

As an added sub-question, do you subscribe to any notion of there being something special about the color or any other trait of the eyes?
Some say that the eyes are a window into the soul,
if one believes in a soul that is.

My eyes are green. Like, really green. Really, REALLY green. Very f'ing green is the lesson to take from this I guess.

My eyes change color with my mood, green when I am in a good mood or when I'm drunk, they range from brown to hazel most of the time, and when I am very angry they turn a golden brown color.

Grey. I must be boring or something.

Hm..you know, I've heard that green is the rarest eye color, but everyone that's posted so far is either green or hazel. Just found that a bit amusing. Mine are also green, believe it or not, also with the veins of orange towards the pupil that Bouitazia mentioned. I've been told they're my best physical feature. :)

EDIT: Okay, everyone except the one that snuck in while I was typing.

It depends on the lighting. Typically hazel, but they can appear to be different colours.

Color-changing eyes?
Are you pulling my leg? ,)
It seems very strange.

That is most curious indeed.

Dark brown.

No, because that is silly :p

I believe it's a fairly common occurrence, actually.

Brown, milk chocolate colored. Rather boring really.

No, that is silly.

I would think so too,
but it would be interesting to hear what other people had to say about it.
You never know what fascinating tidbits could come up.

Brown.... for now.

No, I'm not. My father's eyes change with the color clothing he wears, that's what is strange. Mine change varying shades with mood, which I understand is common just not to the level that mine do.

Well...of course brown-eyed people are the master race and it is the historical duty of my people to exterminate those of any other eye colour. But that goes without saying.

Typically hazel, but they change from anything between blue and dark green.

I..See..
Duly noted then. ,)

Green although sometimes they seem greyish/blue.

If I wear a navy blue suit, people think I have blue eyes.

Most people I meet have blue or brown eyes.

In one of the shared houses I lived we discovered one day that all five of us had green or hazel eyes. I wondered whether we subconsciously chose people who seemed familiar.

Bluish-gray with a gold ring around the pupil.

Dark brown. A color common as dirt, and shared by most of my family.

My eyes are more like mirrors. It is somewhat disconcerting to look into the bathroom mirror sometimes.

An ex-girlfriend of mine has one blue eye and one brown/hazel.
It was very cute.

Yes. Yes, I do. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CommonEyeColors)

A most interesting read, much obliged.

Unquestionably so.

Root Beer.

No, I'm not. My father's eyes change with the color clothing he wears, that's what is strange.
His eyes don't change color, your eyes just pick up the hue that corresponds to what he wears more.

I always find this most pronounced with people with green eyes (e.g. eyes that are generally a muted grey-green can look brilliantly green if combined with clothes of a similar brilliant green, or can look blue/aqua if combined with blue/aqua clothes) though it goes for blue eyes & hazel ones as well.

The only person I've ever met with brown eyes that also did that to a remarkable extent was a friend in school who had this one sweatshirt that was kind of a mustard-honey color and would make his brown eyes look awesomely golden-brown.

My eyes are just plain brown, the most boring color of all. Boo.

My eyes are green-grey-yellow, they tend to change intensity with my moods/clothing choices. I can accentuate whichever I want with different make-up.

My eyes change color with my mood, green when I am in a good mood or when I'm drunk, they range from brown to hazel most of the time, and when I am very angry they turn a golden brown color.

my g/f's do that. also depends on what she's wearing, what time of day, what the weather's like.... they're weird, but pretty :P

mine are brown. just brown. yay brown.

Darkest brown, nearly black.

Blue. I'm like an Aryan... but not...

Blue eyes

A rather straight-forward question.

Since there are all kinds of colors and mixes of them,
a poll would be useless.

My own eyes are green-grey with a few small veins of orange towards the pupil.

blue-blue-blue with some blueish tint.

I think us green-eyed people just feel so ophthalmologically superior that we want to share our iris color with the world and gloat.

Oh, yes, my eyes are green. :) With a thin ring of cobalt around the iris, and a small starburst around the pupil.

Different color clothes bring out different hues in them, but the only time they same to really change color is when I cry--they become much brighter and bluer.

Nobody knows, everytime they look into my eyes they get lost in them.

Dark Brown

Blue, although there is a ring of greener tint around the pupil with a hint of gold.

Color-changing eyes?

Nope. Mine are more brown if i get more sleep, more green if i don't.

My eyes are a pretty hardcore Blue, like a sort of BlueBlue, lol...


I believe that the eyes are an organ used to detect light waves, colored by different amounts of pigment in the iris...

I believe it's a fairly common occurrence, actually.

My change a bit apparently, enough for other people to notice it.

At the moment, mine are blue-grey (which I've never actually seen it like before, usually it's more greeny-brown) with a ring of gold radiating out from the pupil.

It depends on whether or not I am using my laser vision. :wink:

If so, a brilliant scarlet.

If not, I'd say grey-green.

An ex-girlfriend of mine has one blue eye and one brown/hazel.
It was very cute.

Heh, my border collie has one blue eye and one brown eye, but the side of his face with the blue eye is white, and the side with the brown eye is black, it's very striking. The blue eye looks very wolfish though, kind of scary.

It is NOT "cute." It is a sign of the DEVIL!!

(Just kiidding. No offense intended).

My eyes are green. Like, really green. Really, REALLY green. Very f'ing green is the lesson to take from this I guess.

It's true, they are.

Mine are "color-changing" - fundamentally, they're always dark grey-green with gold in the middle, but depending on the lighting, what I'm wearing, how moist they are, etc., they can appear to be quite a few other colors. The rather astounding one is when I have been crying for a while, at which point they are even greener than NA's eyes are to start with. They practically glow in the dark. :p

They range from bluish-green to greenish-blue.

My eyes are brown, like a cow's eyes.

They will master as all one day, never forget that!

Grayish-green with little gold flecks

Shoots and eats Boonytopia in self-defense. :eek:

green blue

My eyes are a very pale grey-green, with slight hints of yellow in one of the irises.

Green. Like all normal people.

Green. Like all important people.

Fixed. :wink:

I'm brown-eyed.

Maybe for that reason, I don't ascribe any special qualities resulting from eye color. While eyes may be the window of the soul, I believe that, just like an open mind, open windows are like a fortress with its doors unbarred and wide open. That is to say, not effective against zombie attacks.

Oh sure, laugh it up, but when the zombie apocalypse hits, I'll be a survivor.

Unless I eat you first.

Jet black like my soul.

Mostly white, with some red veins.

Apology accepted.

And the probability of me being consumed is minimal owing to the fact that I live in daily preparation of zombie or cannibal attack and over the years I've built up a tolerance to zombie by ingesting a little bit every day.

regular old brown, nothing special.

I'd say grey-green.
Fundamentally, they're always dark grey-green with gold in the middle.
Grayish-green with little gold flecks

Oh, hey, look at that, a whole bunch of people with gray-green eyes and gold/yellow/orange flecks/veins. :D

It does appear that it occur more often with some breeds of dogs.
But it sure doesn't detract from its striking awesomeness( that´s odd, the spell checker accept "awesomeness" whole-sale? strange. ).

(Just kidding. No offense intended)

We would have been good together then, seeing as I´m both born out of wedlock(bastard), atheist(heathen) and left-handed(warlock/changeling/demon). ,)
(All signs of the devil)

None taken of course.

Amberish-brown. They look really reddish in some lighting.

Greenish-brown.

Same colour as the eyes of a Siamese cat

It depends on the lighting. Typically hazel, but they can appear to be different colours.

Yep same here. typicaly hazel bu sometimes grey/blue, or a little green or bown.

My eyes are blah-colored. I tell people they're gray, though it says "blue" on my driver's license, but really they're just off-colored. Kind of like if you took all the possible eye pigment colors, mooshed them together, and then left the resulting moosh out in the sun to fade for a few months.

I don't believe the eyes are the window to the soul. Rather, eyes are a great way to pick up on cues to what somebody's thinking and feeling, and it's actually not the eyes but the muscle and skin surrounding the eyes. How the corner of the eyes wrinkles up, how open or closed the lids are, how the brows are sitting, etc. Watching people's eyes also lets you have a sense of where their attention is directed. All of this is very important for social primates like us. :D

Mixed green and yellow.

Brown

I have gray eyes. Colour changes to blue - blue-gray during different moods.

brown, or something...

brown with reddish "squiggles". I was born with green eyes O.O

Gray-green.

My eyes are brown. Conveniently, I have a picture.

http://i528.photobucket.com/albums/dd323/invaderoperaghost/020.jpg

I have blue with yellow towards the centre.
My brother has green with a line of red radiating from his left eye. red eyes are extremely rare.

Has anyone ever seen someone with black eyes? (not the punched in the face kind) Black. not brown.

Yes. A good friend of mine and his sister both have them. It is made that much freakier because both of them are pale-skinned redheads. Presumably, their eyes are technically very very very dark brown, but given that you honestly can't see where the iris ends and the pupil begins unless you get about six inches away, they're as black as I can imagine is possible.

My eyes are generally blue, with rings of lighter and darker blues and some grey.

However, in some lights or depending on what color I'm wearing, they sometimes look greenish.

My eyes change color with my mood, green when I am in a good mood or when I'm drunk, they range from brown to hazel most of the time, and when I am very angry they turn a golden brown color.

We pretty much share the same color spectrum.

I don't know .. I thought they were hazel at one time, but they aren't... not enough green. Reddish brown or something.

Has anyone ever seen someone with black eyes? (not the punched in the face kind) Black. not brown.

Yes. My ex had black eyes. I always told him how beautiful they were, and he always said the same thing: "Sure, if you like shark eyes." They did look something like shark eyes, but they were beautiful.

Also, to all these other supposedly green-eyed people--pics or it didn't happen.

mine are hazel, light greeny blue with brown. They go really really green when I cry.

Mine are fairly similar to yours - a bit darker and less greyish, but that's the general look. :)

Shit brown. (Points for honesty, maybe?)

There should be a poll!

Anyways, my eyes are a nice shade of blue.

pretty much, yes.

oh well that doesn't count because they only had black eyes because red heads don't have souls

red heads don't have souls

What about Red Beards? :(

Regarding a poll, see the initial post.
Too much variance.
But if more people voice the same request..

Duly noted.
I had though they were pretty much set in stone after the initial no pigment/blue eyes phase at birth.
You learn something new everyday (hopefully) as the saying goes.

mine range from green-grey to quite blue depending on diet, stress, tiredness and emotional stability.

You're going to have to identify the color. Sometimes they look brown, sometimes hazel, sometimes brown with green and gold flecks.

If it's any help, my mom's brown, my brother's brown, my dad's hazel, and my grandma was blue.

No worries -- I learned it today, too. ;) Though I swear, my blue-green eyed friend sometimes has bluer eyes, sometimes greener, and I once witnessed her eyes turning a weird yellow-green about an hour before she got violently ill to her stomach.

Hazel me thinks, or light brownish orange perhaps. Hmm

Then I appear to be in the minority of having ever witnessed eyes that change color, in either myself or others.

I always thought my eyes were brown untill I started wearing contacts and looked at them entirely too much.
They are brown in the center with some hazel and greenish-blue around the outside. They change color based on my clothes and very much my mood.

I've identified Kat's eye color as lysergic acid diethylamide.

You know...Since everyone else is doing it, lol...

Mine are hazel. Usually more green than brown though.

I've identified Kat's eye color as lysergic acid diethylamide.
I am NOT tripping. At least, I don't unless it's over the edge of a carpet, my own two feet, or something similar.

My eyes chage color, aswell. They range in color from Blue to Green, and slight Hazel from day-to-day. Sometimes if I look at, or think of a color long enough they will change colors.
