I can't figure out what color my eyes are?

Question

I called them green when I was younger and then I started calling them hazel 5 years ago. Now I'm not sure anymore. Could somebody give me the definition of a hazel eye. My eyes are greenish, gray with some light brown. When I was a baby my eyes were more blue I guess. I'm really confused on what to call them.

Answer 1

You have hazel eyes. Hazel can be any combination of green-brown and usually touches of gray or another color. I was born with blue eyes but my eye color is brown-gold, almost like cat's eyes. Hazel eyes are very versatile and vary in appearance.

Answer 2

derfinition of hazel
light brown color: a light brown color with a tinge of green or gold, like a ripe hazelnut
Hazel eyes are due to a combination of a Rayleigh scattering and a moderate amount of melanin in the iris' anterior border layer.[24][5] A number of studies using three-point scales have assigned "hazel" to be the medium-color between brown and dark brown.[25][26][27][28][29][30][31] This can sometimes produce a multicolored iris, i.e., an eye that is brown near the pupil and charcoal or amber on the outer part of the iris when it is open to the elements of the sun/shined in the sunlight. Hazel is mostly found in the regions of South and East European nations and places such as the Northern Arabian and Middle Eastern Peninsula but Rarely in Eastern Asia. [citation needed]

There is some difficulty in defining the eye color "hazel" as it is sometimes considered to be synonymous with brown and other times with green.[32][19][25][27][30][33] They have been described as light brown or yellowish brown,[34] or as a lighter shade of brown.[35] Hazel eyes have also been described as being equivalent to a dark black or charcoal-colored/light black eyes.[36] In North America, "hazel" is often used to describe eyes that change color, ranging from light brown to green and even blue, depending on what color clothing the person is wearing or what color is predominant in their immediate environment. (Eyes that change only between blue and green are not called "hazel"; the term only describes changeable eye color that includes a brownish shade within its range.) Hazel eyes particularly of the light brown variety are predominately found in the Middle East.

Answer 3

I think you could consider yours hazel. I call mine hazel because I dont know what else to call them. Mine are greenish too, but I actually have orange around the pupils, but I just call it "hazel"

this is what the dictionary says "colors light brown color: a light-brown color with a tinge of green or gold" Hope this helps some!

Answer 4

well you have to keep in mind that when you wear different color clothing your eyes can seem to show a different shade of a color if your eyes are brown with a tint of green you are hazel and when you have blue eyes you can definitely tell the difference if there is no brown at all it isn't hazel.

Answer 5

Such combination of colours are referred to as Hazel. But if in a particular stage in life, it starts appearing a certain nice green/ blue, you can always say: green or blue or whatever when asked.
