Eye color is determined primarily by the concentration and distribution of melanin pigment on the iris fibers. If the iris contains pigment on both the front and back surface, the incident light that reflects off the iris is brown. Sometimes there is little or no pigment on the front surface. The light interacts with the gray iris fibers and the iris stromal cells and reflects as blue. The size and spacing of the fibers and stromal cells determines the "blueness" or "greenness' of the reflected light.
People with lightly colored irises note that their eye color changes according to the colors they wear. Since eye color is caused by reflection of ambient light from the structure of the iris, the resultant apparent color change of the eye is due to the color reflected from the person's clothing (or even eye make up).

my eyes change color. i have green eyes, and sometimes people say they look gray and even blue. this is how it happens. it's not so much that they really are changing colors , as much as it is what color i'm wearing. if you were to take a really close look at my eyes they are gray blue and mostly green. so depending on the colors i wear, my eyes may look a different color.

the PERSON doesn't change the pigments themselves you know.
the two main pigments are blue & brown. all other eye colors are variants of those two. Hazel,browns,black & even gold-ish colors are all variants of the levels of brown iris pigments; greens,greys,silver-ish & blues are all variants of--you guessed it--blue.
the levels of pigment can switch with age,or lighting even. Not such an odd phenomenon after all.
