How many of you have green - I mean GREEN - eyes ??

Question

inspired by Rowling's Question !

I have not seen that many ! Remember one girl when I was young who had a genuine colour green ......like salad !:-)

I am not too sure what hazel means..sometimes looks brown and sometimes looks green..

but totally GREEN ?? WOW !!! I would trade my blue eyes right away !

Answer 1

I'm hazel as well. Very green to blue depending on lighting and surroundings.

Answer 2

I do not. My eyes are a brown that captures light, so they look lighter at certain times. My mother has dark brown eyes, and my father's eyes are--for lack of a better descriptor--hazel. His eyes are very light and sometimes look grey, sometimes look blue, and sometimes look light green. My sister--who has the same parents--has dark brown eyes, like our mother.

My brother, on the other hand, has bottle green eyes. They are a beautiful clear color. His late mother was my father's first wife. Her eyes were dark brown. I also knew my brother's late maternal grandmother. She, too, had dark brown eyes. Apparently, his mother also carried the allele for lighter colored eyes, as the trait for brown eyes is dominant.

Answer 3

I have green eyes. I don't think they are salad green though.
They are a really dark green. My mother, however, has the green eyes that cats have. Very beautiful.

Answer 4

My son does. They're truly green, but do have little flecks of gold in them but it only shows up in the sunlight. They're amazing!

Strange too since his Dad has what I would call Olive colored eyes and mine are kind of greyish.

Answer 5

Mine are green/gold depending on the lighting.

Answer 6

I would never use color contacts! Why cover up a natural green =)

Answer 7

Mine as green as a field of fresh grass! They are big and shiny! Back home, I was one of very few who have such eyes. . . . .

Answer 8

my eye's are blue during the summer then turn green around end of winter and spring and grayish during the fall. I love it!!

Answer 9

Mine are green, with little spots of orange.

Answer 10

Mine are hazel
