In the "Lay of Leithian" (an unfinished Tolkein poem that was published after his death in 'The Lays of Beleriand'), part of Luthien Tinuviel's description reads:
Her robe was blue as summer skies,
but grey as evening were her eyes ;
And in "Of Beren and Lúthien" from 'The Silmarillion' we have: "Lúthien was the most beautiful of all the Children of Iluvatar. Blue was her raiment as the unclouded heaven, but her eyes were grey as the starlit evening."

I'd say green, but I'm not sure we know. Read The Lay of Luthien here:

Her eyes were grey, which was a popular convention used by medieval and renaissance poets to attribute and draw attention to nobility and beauty.
