Eye Colour Poll

[HackerX]

Just a matter of personal interest... what's your eye colour?

I've found that within another group I'm a part of... it seems to be dominated by green eyes (I being one of them) which I find kind of strange for a rare eye colour to be so predominate.

[Utopmk]

I voted other.
I have a very strange eye color...
grey/green/blue with swirls.
If you were to stare straight into them, you would swear they were dead.

[Vagabond]

There are no conclusions to be drawn out of this poll though. Physical characteristics depend basically on your origins.

[Sugaraddict2702]

mine are either very very light blue or somewhat grey. They also have a tendency to be green from time to time :)

Let's start another poll: Colour or Color.. Lol. Green, by the way.

Sweet! Can you take a picture of that and show us? I wanna see!

My eyes are dark blue. My sister lucked out and got the cool sky blue color. Bummer. I think green eyes are the most attractive in women ... though I place much greater importance on what's inside (of course).

Edit: actually, there are other aspects of eyes that seem more important than the color, but I really can't place it. Ugh, you can look people in the eyes and get a very solid impression of what kind of person they are. How bizarre! As the saying goes, eyes are the window to the soul. Somehow.

[Claverhouse]

Other, because green-grey, much like some cats, or certain shades of feld-grau.

Anyway you ought to have put grey in as a separate colour. It's very common in nordic countries. Sometimes slate-grey, sometimes pale-grey.

***
edit added: and black. It's got to be the majority of all eyes, ( whether you count in singles or pairs ).

Also, perhaps now someone can clear up something that has worried me ( not extensively, but niggling in the background like a whistling kettle untended to ) what exact colour is hazel ? There are certain things you assume you know since early childhood, so frequent the references, and then you realise that it may have been originally entirely misconceived in your mind ( like the word wretched, all my life I have felt it carried a heavy connotation of contempt, however applied, but apparently not, it can be used in pure pity ) and I vaguely felt it meant a goldish-brown.

Having realised that I had never seen anyone with golden-brown eyes, I suddenly saw I must have been always mistaken. The internet wasn't much help, since it described the colour as being the same as hazel-nuts, but gave no colour chart... I've never seen anyone with eyes like hazel-nuts either.

So what is it exactly ?

Here is a picture of someone's hazel colored eye (http://www.cz.cibavision.com/products/color_contacts/images/pure_hazel.jpg)

Hazel makes me think of dark amber.

[Claverhouse]

My, Division, I was almost originally right ! Still, never actually noticed that shade in folk. Where did you find the pictures ?

[ Uneasily contemplating the fact you may keep a store of body-parts on your hard-drive, hopefully just for emergencies like this... ) :ph34r:

[antireconciler]

It makes me think that person can communicate with wolves, but maybe I've been reading too much Robert Jordan.

Edit: okay, I have seen something like that color

[CosmicDust]

I have hazel eyes, similar to the depiction Division posted - a brownish-greenish dingy color.

[Vagabond]

Let's start another poll: Colour or Color.. Lol.
Why don't we open that door of hell with a "could vs couldn't care less" poll... :D

[Utopmk]

Sweet! Can you take a picture of that and show us? I wanna see!

If I took a picture with my webcam it wouldn't show as well, but when I get access to a digital camera I will be more than happy to.




Why don't we open that door of hell with a "could vs couldn't care less" poll...

haha.

[Division56]

Here's my eye. One of them. Don't worry, the other is there.

[Jezebel]

my eyes are grey with a ring of brown around the pupil. But I voted brown even though there's probably a larger area of grey because they look brown unless seen up close.

[Google Monster]

i voted other because my eyes are mostly very light blue and grey in color with a small dim brown grey ring around the pupil.

[jittus rye]

I have green eyes with brown cracks in them.

[ohnoaninfp]

I have blue eyes that can seem grey sometimes.

[paladinoflunaria]

"The eyes are the window to the soul." Mine are a sapphire color.

I've had compliments on them before, but I hate small talk/aversion of my mind.

[Odyssey]

Blue eyes.

BUT if I want them to be green for a day, I can just wear a green shirt =)

~Odyssey

[Melody]

Brown. Not an incredible color, for I would chose pink or panda any day; but I think people like the size of my eyes and the length of my eye lashes. Speaking of my eye lashes, they fall off and get in my eyes every so often, the bastards.

[Avengardh]

Dark (very dark) brown to brown, it depends.

Someone might as well make a hair-color thread, no?

~*Aven*~

[Birnam]

what about someone with one eye one color and the other eye another color? Not me though- I think I have brown eyes, but maybe they're hazel or maybe muddy green.

[paladinoflunaria]

but I think people like the size of my eyes and the length of my eye lashes. Speaking of my eye lashes, they fall off and get in my eyes every so often, the bastards.

I have pretty long eyelashes too.

[BritainOphira]

I voted blue because that is what colour my eyes are right now, but they tend to change between dark to slate gray and light to bright blue, mainly depending on my mood and how tired I am.

[Johnny]

I have hazel eyes, similar to the depiction Division posted - a brownish-greenish dingy color.

My eyes are hazel as well, according to the Sherman Williams paint color chart. :lol:

This is actually the first time I've ever read about hazel as having a brownish tinge to go with the light blue/green, so I empathize with your concerns, Claverhouse.

[CosmicDust]

I think it's easy for hazel eyes to pass for either a light brown or a dull green, depending on the lighting - people have thought I had brown eyes before when viewing them from a distance and/or in low or indirect light, but when I look at my eyes in the mirror, they're not quite brown - they're in between brown and green. If you were to simply classify eyes into "brown-type" or "blue-type," they'd be of the brown type, I think.

[MasterMerk]

Dark blue - slate grey, pretty much.

[Johnny]

If you were to simply classify eyes into "brown-type" or "blue-type," they'd be of the brown type, I think.

Now I'm beginning to wonder if hazel is just secret code for "I can't make up my mind what the color is". :lol:

Still, the brownish color does look neat also.

Edit: to add to the confusion, here's a link discussing hazel eyes -<http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/jan2000/947982335.Ge.r.html>

[Crazy]

I have hazel, technically, but I was tempted to choose "other" because they change every once in a while, no matter my mood or what clothes I wear.

Some of the colors (or colours if you prefer) that they have been at times:

Blue
Green
Black
Yellow
Red
Silver
Grey

I like my eyes. I also have long beautiful eyelashes, that even with black mascara on , are hidden behind my glasses. ,Which sucks because I feek dorky in my glasses.

[NGene]

Now I'm beginning to wonder if hazel is just secret code for "I can't make up my mind what the color is". :lol:
People should've known that code when I was a kid and they simply couldn't figure out what my eye color was. Sometimes it was brown, sometimes green, sometimes blue, sometimes grey, sometimes somewhere in between. For a very long time there was "mixed" in the eye color section of my passport because no one was able to figure out what else to write in there.

When I grew older, my eyes became more clearly green. Depending on the light and my mood they're usually dark, pale or muddy green, but sometimes they seem dark brown or light blue. Now when I've dyed my hair red brown, my eyes look even greener. :D

[Odyssey]

Ah-HA!

N/m, don't mind me... =)

[Salad]

piercing blue. just like hollywood actor beck bristow's

[Clara]

Wasn't someone looking for this, recently?


Oh... Brown.

[Chall T. Dow]

Mine go from dark brown to hazel to an almost green depending on stuff.

[booyalab]

Mine are dark grayish turquoise green. They may look more blue or green depending on what I wear...but usually more green than blue.

[t]

very dark brown eyes... almost black, and apparently my eyes turn black when i am angry. then again, i'm sicilian.

[songbird36]

Hazelly green here..

[Lee]

left eye - dark brown
right eye - light brown
middle eye - multicoloured

[Swift]

Mine are grey with a bit of green.

[FallenAngel]

I have amber eyes.. almost a gold color... with specks of brown... everyone has always said they look like cheetah print.

[Warrior413]

Brown. Last time I got my hair cut the person there said I had nice eyes, I replied that they worked.

[PonderBee]

My documents list my eyes are hazel - that said they are a mix of colors.
My iris has a golden/amber brown band nearest the pupil and progresses from chartreuse to light olive green to a dark olive green outer band. My sister says that my eyes are like a mood ring.

[ohnoaninfp]

My eyes can be blue green or gray. Lately they have been green though.

[Helios]

I would call them "green" most of the time, but they change all over the place, so I went with "other".


Case and point I just took two pics, the right eyes looks almost brown, and the left grey green. I'll admit this is a first as typically they are on the same page they just don't linger on any one for long.

The only thing I noticed over the years about them it there is some sorta cycle that is bigger than my cloths or hair color (ie when I dyed my hair black they looked bright blue all the time) But the only piece of the pattern I have nailed down is this part, they will look really light blue for a few days, pale too the point that is catchs my attention, then go dark green for about 48 hr, then become grey blue, for a short while,being the lightest of all. Beyond this really dramatic part I haven't paid much attention to them, unless a bug or something make an unplanned landing in one.



oh hell my pic didn't upload, oh well, you can take my word for it now, I'll try again later............bed time now

[Heather Harrison]

My eyes are boring - they are blue, and have always been. Some people tell me they are attractive. It's funny because I haven't thought about that very much.

[moni]

as with, the majority of japanese/okinawans (if not all), i just have dark brown eyes. woo hoo. i have asian friends who have worn green and blue contact lens... but it looks kinda weird. i guess exotic somewhat... but more alien-like.

[aether]

I am a japanese/okinawan and I disagree with you TOTATLLY...i cant belive you would say such a thing!!

[FishOutOfWater]

Mine are excessively blue, to the point that I get unsolicited comments on it. Thanks for the eye color, Mom. :ph34r: A large number of my friends have hazel eyes, oddly enough - I always thought that was a fairly rare color.

[aether]

We need a category named "Penetrating" because I can "see through you."

[Miss Anthropic]

Hazel:

Well, if that is hazel, then change my vote to green. I think of hazel as being green-brown....mine are green-brown with gold around the middle---those eyes look like light brown and brown to me!

[Biff_Loman]

Brown. My wife says they're irresistable when I make puppy-dog eyes, so they're good for something.

[Helios]

the word "Penetrating" ; eyes wouldn't be the first thing that comes to mind, but maybe that is just me.

[cathmc]

Other - I also have swirly, no, more like flecky (flecky???) eyes which can look more green or more blue depending on what I'm wearing.
Once when I was in grade school someone asked me if my eyes were green or blue. I really didn't know so, like any good 3rd grader, I asked my Mom. She snapped at me: 'BLUE! Your eyes are BLUE! ALL of my children have blue eyes'. All of my siblings do in fact have unambiguously blue eyes.
If I have to check a form or something, I say blue. So as not to upset my mother.

[April]

Mine are hazel. I love them, because they look different depending on the light. They may look brown, green, dark blue, or black on different days.

[Bugeater]

what exact colour is hazel ?
I always thought that hazel eyes were ones that could switch between various shades of green, blue, and brown. For instance, my best friend's eyes are usually the color of the eye in the hazel picture, but when she's really angry or emotional, they morph into this very vivid green. It's bizarre because I'm used to my sister's green eyes, and they don't change color at all.

You are right. See my post above :)

I always write "colour."

Mine are blue/grey.

[Eileen]

huh. for some reason, i always thought hazel was grey-based, not brown.

I've always said my eyes are brown, but they look more like the hazel picture and they do change color *slightly* (not at all dramatically). The shift is from brown to brown-green.

[indigo]

it's so interesting that most of u have brown eyes :gm:
however,it isn't an "intps only" poll!
