What Is Your Eye Color?

[Evolved]

Blue, Green and Brown are the basic eye colors. Hazel is a mixture of Green and Brown, Grey is depigmented form of Blue, Black is just heavily pigmented Brown. Brown or Yellow spots can be found in light eyes, people can have each eye a different color (usually similar colors like Blue and Grey, although I have seen people and animals with one Blue eye and one Brown eye), etc.

[Conquistador]

Mine are a mix of hazel and brown with a bit of green.

[Allenson]

Sort of a pale greyish-green. Predominantly green though.....

Not sure of the racial source of green eyes actually. It would be interesting to find out where it comes from. My hunch is that it's a UP thing.

Truly green eyes (as opposed to hazel) are the result of a yellowish substance called lipochrome. When lipochrome is present in a person with (hidden) blue eyes, the result is green.

Everyone remember their color-wheel? :)

[Tore]

Mine are a deep blue...

I'm often accused of wearing color contacts.

[Ominous Lord Spoonblade]

Mine are blue/grey. They are mostly blue, but they will appear either more blue or more grey depending on what kind of make-up or clothes I'm wearing. They have looked rather strange lately I think because of nutritional reasons..?

[Relevant Range]

Isn't Elizabeth Taylor often described as having "violet" colored eyes? This picture looks re-touched, but it's the best I could in five minutes of looking...

[NordicPower]

Mine are so blue they have at times even looked purple-a lot like Elizabeth Taylors in that picture. Purple colors really compliment my eyes, and so does light blue. It looks pretty striking with my flaming auburn natural hair color.

Yeah, sometimes they look blue, and sometimes they look green. Both colors are there if you look closely though :)

[Evolved]

In my family people either have light brown or grey eyes. My eyes are hazel, so I get to be the weirdo. :showoff

[Azdaja]

Yes, I've got boring hazel eyes also. At least they are not pure brown.

[Legio_Melita]

Another hazel pair of eyes...they sometimes look more greenish when I wear dark colours, and a darker shade when I wear light colours, weird...

[Ederico]

My eyes are Brown, medium brown, although in images they tend to look darker must be because of the pupil which widens.

[Scáthach]

my eyes are green.
from a distance they can look a dark green but theyre actually very bright...
i still hate them though,they arent as bright as blue eyes! :amok

[Glenlivet]

Mine are light-mixed, so I put hazel too. But they look striking green-grayish under the sun. The colour seem to change, or it's the lighting and if I'm tired or not. They look lighter at night :-).

I'm watching you :-).

No miss~scarling! From one green-eyed to another, they are a treasure and they reflect your ancient ancestry!

[Ederico]

@miss~scarling

I bet you have beautiful green eyes, blue are my favourite as well, but look on the bright side, you do not have brown or even worse black eyes.

[Hellstar]

Another one taken around 1 year ago with digi close up!

My eye is steel/dark blue on distance but more bluish/white when really close.

[Stríbog]

Green eyes are very special, as they are the rarest eyes of all. The most beautiful kind are the ones that are pure green, instead of a mixture of blue and hazel. I love green- AND blue-eyed girls :)

[NordicPower]

I like green eyes a lot they look kind of exotic to me. Everyone in my family has blue or brown, and the only people who have brown are the people who my family members married x_p

Green eyes are very beautiful -and I thought extremely rare- but judging by the votes at this forum I guess not! But nice dark blue eyes will always be my favorite :viking :gift

[Scáthach]

thanks nazz and dalonord :)

[Hellstar]

I was with this young local whore with very distinct green eyes once, she proberly had the most green eyes I ever seen, I somehow dont know what I prefer but certain blue eyes calms me sometimes, but I dont know what I really prefer in a girl Hmmm.

[Iuzln]

I'd say my eyes are blue.

[Ederico]

I prefer blue eyes in a girl for sure, but I do not really mind as long as the eyes are not darker than mine. Dark blue eyes like my father's are my favourite, too bad I did not get them.

[Scáthach]

same here Nazz :(

Here is one of my eyes.

I don't know what some people talk about blue eyes but my eyes aren't bright either. They look really dark most of the time. The pic I posted is under direct sunlight because thats the only way my stupid webcam takes a clear picture.

Hellstar, your eyes look like they have this sunwheel pattern in the middle.

[Hellstar]

:AWW WTF?

[Angelcynn Beorn]

Always thought i had light blue eyes, but recently (last year or so) have had several different people (girls) say my eyes are 'aqua' or 'turquois' and have green bits in them. So i guess im light-mixed.:puppyeyes

[aprilness]

I'll try to post a pic of my eyes on here.

Anyway I voted for 'blue' however I think they are more gray. Hmmm...

[NordicPower]

Nice eyes braun, very pretty. I would actually consider them light icy blue and not grey though. :)

They are the same kind of washed out blue of my grandma's eyes. On the eye on the right the light shines in such a way that you can also see kind of a minty watery green color around the middle of the iris.

[Ederico]

Hi Braun88, from your eyes and hair alone and what can be seen of your face, you look beautiful. Perhaps we should clone you :D. Hehehehehehehehe.

[aprilness]

LOL Clones, I could't imagine having more than one of me running around, just ask anyone who knows me. ;) Luckly my kid is only half geneticlly mine.

Actually my eyes pick up whatever color is around. In that picture I'm in front of a gold background so I think they picked up a tint of green, which is unusual.

I don't know why I can't post my own damn pictures! :amok

Thanks for the compliments though. :)

Weird colors.... I wonder what color he will pass on to his kids.... heheh

When you only reproduce with someone of your own eye color you can't get "heterochromia" :boiling

[Ederico]

I think this Heterochromia sucks, I know a guy here who has one brown eye and one blue or green eye, I would rather have two brown eyes like I have than different colours like that guy.

I don't have any statistics but I'm sure it's pretty rare, just like other significant asymmetry. Like Ralph Fiennes and Mariah Carey who have one nostril bigger than the other. hehe

In his case I believe the heterochromia isn't just one eye color different, but his eye color in the right eye is a mix of blue and brown. You can see that it looks like his other blue eye, except has a superficial melanin stain over it, being an abnormal coloring.

[sfvgirlie14]

mine are a vivid green color

[Illidan]

My eyes are as green as the grass beneath my feet.

[Milesian]

Like many people with green eyes, mine appear to change colour,
In dim light they appear brown, in strong sunlight they are blue-green.
But they are normaly just green :)

[Borivoj]

Mine are a dark brown with some hazel spots, at least they're not black! It seems like there is a hierarchy of eye colour: First green, blue/grey, hazel, brown and then black.

[Saoirse]

Hazel with red hair!

[Polak]

Shouldn't grey be first, since grey is a DEPIGMENTED version of blue? We grey eyed people are superior and you blue-eyed subhumans should be our slaves!

Anyways mine are grey, but with orange/reddish lines in around the pupil. My father's are brown and my mother's are blue. I don't think anyone in my family has grey eyes.

[Tore]

Shouldn't grey be first, since grey is a DEPIGMENTED version of blue? We grey eyed people are superior and you blue-eyed subhumans should be our slaves!

In some instances, such as yours, grey eyes are the result of a blue-brown mix, thus Polak's hierarchy remains.

You are, however, correct in stating that grey eyes are often just a more depigmented blue.

[RoundskullBoredguy]

Pure brown. That is, in between hazel and black.

[Louky]

I voted hazel in this pole because my eyes are brown/ green. However, the term "hazel" seems to have been appropriated for people with blue/green or gray/green eyes, at least where I live. Here, I just say I have brown eyes.

My eye color depends on lighting, too. Here's one picture with dim light and my eye half closed and another picture with bright light directly on the iris to show the pigmentation pattern. It's the same eye.

[Scáthach]

Your eyes look green to me, just a dark ''army' type green.

[Pomor]

Mine are pure grey

[Tore]

Green with a dark blue-grey outer ring. I also have some small blue-grey dots on them only visible from very close. Still, definitely green and not grey or blue. Yes, and happy with it! :)

In two different light conditions, one is inside and the other one is outside:

[Scáthach]

From afar, your eyes look dark blue [in the first picture] but close up they look to be a bright mid green.
Yay green eyed pride ;) :D

[Mac Seafraidh]

I was born with brown eyes, but through my adolescent years they got some green tint in them.

[Awar]

I have a crappy web-cam.....oh! what was the question again?!

I have grey-blue eyes. Or should I say blue with a grey circle around the pupil.

[Gladstone]

I was born with hazel eyes and thru my adolescent to adult years they have stayed, well, hazel. ;)

[Tuor]

blue eyes for me

[Übersoldat]

Blue, slight tendency toward green.

[Scáthach]

Zvaci, it looks like there may be some grey in your eyes though it may be my monitor. Still, nice colour!

Yes its posible. My father has light blue/grey eyes my mothers eyes are pure green. I cant decide which color is more beautiful.

So many lovely eyes here! hehehe :D

[galvez]

My eyes are olive green. Not as light as some other greens but definitely not brownish, although there is a slight touch of it. Light eyes are not uncommon among Iberians.

What surprises me is the >30% brown or hazel category. One would think a forum with a bunch of "Nordicists" who look down on "swarthy" SEs would not be so "dark" themselves. :)

Green eyes are very beautiful. Blue eyes too. Also beautiful are irisis that are as dark as the pupils, combined with relatively fair or olive skin (although such individuals are not Nordish). Hazel eyes are unattractive on a woman because they are boring, IMO.

[Louky]

I would say your eyes are 'hazel.'

Yes, that's what I voted as. In my opinion if you have brown around your iris, your eyes are hazel. After all, when you look someone in the eye, you fix your eye on their pupil (if you can find it).

[blut-ehre]

dark brown eyes here, one eye is slightly more darker than the other though.

[Vladek]

Sky Blue..................

[Sigrun Christianson]

Blue, slight tendency toward green.
Beautiful. I'm taking your eye to the store get to some matching paint.

[Sigrun Christianson]

Ignore the Crow's Feet. I'm an old woman already.

[Sigrun Christianson]

And just for fun... my lipstick never fully covers it so people tell me that I have "something" on my lip. ;)

[+Suomut+]

Actually, the hierarchy is blue, blue/grey, grey, green, hazel, brown, black.Well, I'm late as hell on this, but I'm happy to see somebody got the spectrum right in this tread--my CONGRATS! to Polak for pegging this one on the head.

Mine, below, are grey-blue...varying from lighting conditions and the opinions of others. Flooded with light and viewed up close, though, my irises have a blue background with green/hazel spots; thus, the overall and general grey-blue appearance. My baby records state blue and others declare mine blue too, but it's all a matter of opinion.

I can tell by all the votes for blue and the lack of votes for grey that some of you have mistakenly erred in your votes. For those of you who think you have blues, go look in a mirror UP CLOSE!!!! with light flooding your irises and if you can see green or hazel spots start contemplating that you might actually have blue-grey, grey-blue or even grey irises.

Blue irises are actually VERY SPECIAL and are easily noticable. I work with a man who has such irises and I know of others in my personal life who have them too--they are VERY pleasing to behold. If you've looked into your irises and you've seen a blue background with few or no spots and everyone you've ever been around compliments you on your beautiful blue eyes then you're safe in assuming you have blue irises. Crystal-clear, spotless blue irises are the most special of all, but hardly anyone has these--when you see these you KNOW!! it.

I'm partial to greens too. They really are aesthetically pleasing, right on par with blues and greys in this respect.

I find hazels and light browns to be attractive too, esp. on the right persons.

[Lala]

It might be Lipochrome. When coupled with blue eyes, green is the result. Your example is a little differnt though....

[Louky]

Both examples are 'spotted' blue irises; thus, both have non-blue eyed ancestors/ancestresses.

That would have to be true, although some people with pure, light blue eyes also have non blue-eyed ancestors. My wife's eyes are blue without so much as a freckle, with the crinkled white showing around the middle band of the iris, hence they are light blue. Her father had dark-mixed eyes.

[+Suomut+]

[QUOTE=Louky]...some people with pure, light blue eyes also have non blue-eyed ancestors...QUOTE]Yes, indeed.

[Hans]

Yes, I heard the same thing.

Green eyes aren't the result of a pigment but yellow fat covering blue eyes. The mix comes of as green. I remember them (TLC?) making the joke if one has green eyes, they have FAT eyes. This was a long time ago so someone may want to do some research into it. Scar tissue in the eye does, but rarely, can take the form of fat. So if someone with light eyes takes a good shot to the eye, it can turn GREEN! Is that @#%$ up or what...

On the other hand, I can't find much...well...any evidence on the interent for this.

[Awar]

What do grey eyes mean?

[Hans]

Actually, I think grey is lighter than blue. I'm pretty sure about this but if you ask me, they got the shity end of the deal.

[Awar]

!HEY! What's so shitty about grey eyes?! :D

[hyperkatz]

They're gray-blue with a dark-blue ring around the iris. Indigo (sort-of new blue jeans color) is an almost perfect match.

Father's eyes were hazel and mother's eyes were grey.

[NormanBlood]

but they tend to change colors when im hot (they get yellow) and cold (they get purple/brown). is there some kind of scientific reasoning behind that?

I was also wondering about that...about eye colour changing in the cold. My eyes tend to look a lot "brighter" and shine a very watery light spring green when I come inside out of the cold or when I'm in the cold. Does anyone know the reason why that may occur?

[Gladstone]

Grey or very light blue eyes on a woman really have a haunting effect, almost ethreal. :) It's just doesn't seem the same on a man...I don't know why! ;)

[Razmig]

I've got a blue ring too. What the heck does it supposed to mean? I had a blue eyes until I was 4 years old.
all children have blue eyes when they are born (caucasoid anyway), eye pigmentation doesnt begin untill after birth...also many people have rings of blue (although un-noticable every human has it) however layers of dark pigmentation may make it seem non-existant....the whole of the eye isnt always pigmented because the region around the pupil* is the region that needs most protection from the sun (assuming you have a ring on the outsides of your eye), otherwise it could just be a genetic mutation, like eye blondism itself

[Louky]

Maybe yours are like mine? Check out my post #59 in this thread. My eyes are textbook dark-mixed since they have brown rays or striations on a light background. Light-mixed eyes have only an aureole of pigment around the pupil.

Is there a website with technical definitions of the various types? I too have striations, but I have noticeably less brown than you, apparently (although I believe yours are similar to mine). The general consensus on another thread was that my eyes are olive (darkish) green. I am curious if I am dark-mixed, mixed, or whatever.

Quite interesting really, and she has this little orange dot in one of them. :D she's sooo cute... (sorry no pics, she's only 5, her mom wouldn't appreciate it)

My eyes have the same effect, in fact it seems to be common for green eyes to look different colours in different lights.
In normal light they look green, in dim light they appear brown, and in direct, strong sunlight they look blue.

It's nice to be able to change colours without the need for coloured contacts ;)

Look Green to me but some days they can look Blue (funnily enough when ive had a good nights sleep)

[Turificator]

Blue.

[Stephen]

Blue, btw you can classify me also, take a look at my sign. ;)

[Papabear]

I have mixed eyecolour. Green, yellow and grey.

[SouthernBoy]

1. aqua blue.
2. cerulean (with a tiny 'string' of yellow pigment)

I like blue eyes with yellow around the pupil. I wonder what causes the yellow?
I have "Cerulean" eyes they are pure light-blue with a thin ring of yellow around the pupils. When my pupils dilate they look pure blue, but in fine light the sharp contrast between the light yellow and light blue looks very amazing.

[Illidan]

What is your eye color?

I will use Bunak's Eye Pigmentation Scale as the template for this poll.

1. Black
2. Dark Brown
3. Light Brown
4. Yellow
5. Dark-mixed (hazel, etc...)
6. Green
7. Mixed grey-green
8. Grey with a ring
9. Grey
10. Grey-blue
11. Dark-Blue
12. Light-blue

[Illidan]

Mine are grey-green.

[Allenson]

Mine are grey-green.


I voted that way as well. In reality there is a bit more blue visible but gray-green isn't a bad classification either... Here's a pic:

Here are my eyes. You can't really tell very well but my eyes are usually Light Blue. They change color depending on what I'm wearing. If I wear blue my eyes become a Deep, Dark Blue. And at times they are a Blue-Green.

I was too lazy to look up tint in German and I did not use a translator for my profile lol ha. I mentioned on Skadi awhile back that during adolescent years my eyes changed color. A greenish pigmentation developed in my once darker brown eyes. Weird Stuff.

[AndreasBolle]

5. Dark-mixed (hazel, etc...) for me.

[anaktas]

Green Eyes. My brother has blue eyes, however. Damn it.

[Telperion]

Grey-Blue eyes, in my case.

[Illidan]

Why? Who cares?

I thought that genetically, green eyes and blue eyes are the same?

[PsycholgclMishap]

They are not the same genetically. Yes, green eyes and blue eyes are both recessive traits but they are not the same.

[Vanir]

my eyes are blue, though I am not sure if they are "nordid" blue or "borreby" blue, as from what I can gather (IIRC, given my limited anthropological knowledge) there is a difference between the two.

Here's a pic of my sleep deprived eye if anyone can tell if it is nordid or borreby

[Huzar]

I think my eye colour to be predominantly green.

[Spartacus74]

i have green eyes.

[Huzar]

In my opinion, green colour in eyes is an intermediate shade between grey/blue and pure brown. A sort of co-domination whom creates a more pigmented light eye (green).

[Nordraserei]

Hazel with brown being dominant, I think. :(

[QuietWind]

Blue-Green. Not sure really. (Wasn't there already a thread like this once before?) Anyhow, in 35mm pics, my eyes look more blue. In dig cam pics, they look more green. In real life, about 1/3 of people say my eyes are blue, 1/3 say they are green, and 1/3 say blue-green. They change. Here are some pics of my eyes. Obviously the lighting is also different in the three pics. In the one pic, I was wearing mime makeup, so no, that is not how heavy I normally wear makeup. :lol

[Dr. Solar Wolff]

I have blue eyes. It seems to me that my eye color was "brighter" when young. Perhaps they are more grey now. My father had what I would call blue-grey eyes. Has anybody else noticed a change of color as they age?

In my opinion, your eye is substantially grey. Perhaps, a very, very vague stratus of pigmentation could give the impression of a green reflex.

Give me your opinion on mine (three post before)

Yes, there is an hazel shade, around the pupil. I think the green colour to be a depigmented form of hazel, like grey is a depigmented form of green.

Your eyes seem to me being dark gray (or more precisely blue-gray). The "green" is probably only a reflex of a very vague stratus of pigmentation. your comment on mine :

They're called pale eye shades; mixed eyes are usually stronger on the brown or redbrown side. Green and grey indicate Alpinid/UP or Dinarid strains.
Pale eyes are tally also with reddish undertones in brown hair or straightout red/auburn hair.
Does this colour pattern reflect among the Greek?

Watery blue and grey are indeed seen in the East Europid race, but the greyish glint in its brown hair is more typical.

Yes, West European Alpinids are kindred to the UP race family, unlike most SE and Mediterrenean Alpinoids who basically are infantilized, brachycephalized Proto-Mediterreneans and Danubians in various mixtures with mesolithic stocks.

Are you talking of dark chest nut brown or blackish brown? Even in South France the latter type never attains considerable means.

Anyway... I believe that the bahavior of the alpinoids :jew :pope is different of faelid and UP behavior :wiking :hitler .

Indeed, alpinoids ...Alpines were introduced as late as the Bronze Age in Central Europe with the Beaker dispersal and the groups resident in North France and Belgium display a set of very archaic features rather unseen in SE Europe and parts of CE Europe; furthermore, there's a morphological continuum with the Cromagnids in Hessen and Thuringen, hence why some Alpinids in Southern Germany appear as reduced Faelids.

Hi Frans!
Here's Agrippa's thoughts on Alpinization. Interesting read. His opinion seems to be that Alpinization is a process that happens to populations in different areas over time, so the various alpinoid types in Europe are not related, rather genetically similar to the rest of the population in whatever area they are in...

http://www.nordish.net/forum/showthread.php?p=101440#post101440

Alpinids aren't a homogeneous block, they are just a tendency, Alpinisation can happen on every Cromagnoid base in my opinion, and it can occur again even after years of Nordid dominance if just a small percentage of the necessary genes is there

and

So its the question if you even can lump all Alpinoids together, thats difficult with Mediterranids either, but even more difficult with them since there are mainly different grades of Alpinisation, especially in the Nordic countries.
But the typical Alpinids exist, they survived every wave of other conquerors quite well, but especially in Germany Alpinisation is more of a trend over the centuries than surviving population from the early ages.

So the phenotype "Alpinoid" is oftentimes nothing but a selection of set of certain features in a mixed populations, thats one of the reasons why they dont appear as something genetically different all the time, since they share basically the same genome as the other types of the regions in question, just those allels are different.

[Blood_Axis]

btw can people tell me what colour they think my eyes are thanks <-----.
