My partner tells me that my eyes fluctuate between blue and green. I can’t really tell for sure. I always go look in the mirror when she comments about them. Maybe I should start taking selfies to compare.

That's what people mean by gray eyes. I learned this a few years back. They don't actuallyook gray. My eyes are technically "gray" as well.

huh. interesting. my passport says eyecolor blue-green-grey and it depends much on the surrounding light what color they are.

[–] JackbyDev 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah. That's why I thought gray eyes were fake lol because like 100% of the time they're blue or gray. It has something to do with the pigment in them, idk. Maybe it's like those butterfly wings that are blue because of diffraction instead of pigmentation. Idk.

You probably have grey eyes then. It has shades of blue and green

Guess my eyes are gray, then.

Mine are similar, they're normally light brown but people tell me they look green sometimes when the light hits them at a certain angle.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah mine do something similar but they are most certainly green on a normal day.

I think it's refraction off of shirts etc that give a bluish look

That's what "gray" eyes are.

That makes them hazel. Right?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Funny thing is that I am not even sure what the definition of hazel is, so I don't know. I haven't tried to find out, tbh.
