Eye colors

[Kanon]

I was bored and found this eye color chart.

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ea/ea/23/eaea232f0c14366575da7619f119db70.jpg

Mine is gunmetal blue :D My father has the same and my mothers eyes are forest green.

What color do you guys have?

[Leo656]

Nut brown but slightly darker. Practically a hair up from black. They're awesome.

[joefsas]

My eyes are kinda grey :lol:
I guess closer to baby blue/gunmetal blue...

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Mine are somewhere between baby blue and cornflower- though they sometimes go almost gunmetal or even a little sea green, depending on mood and lighting.

[IndigoErth]

Hmmm... closet I can guess is lighten sapphire a little and add some gray. I'm kind of a darkish gray-blue.

[Kanon]

Wow didn´t thought this thread would be so popular :lol:

I forgot to say that my eyes look kinda ripped like that:

I always thought they are ugly cause of that, until my best friend said:
"Your eyes are more beautiful than mine. They look like shattered glass"
I was so relieved and happy :D

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Mine are like the baby/cornflower, but with a few flecks of grey and green in the middles, which is why they change, I think. Turquoise?

[ProactiveMan]

Based on that chart, mine are amber.

[Mew]

Jade, but more blue.

[ShelleyQuick]

Mine are dark forest green:)

[Wingnut]

Mostly jade, with some sea green

[PangolinFeets]

I wonder how accurate these are. That sapphire eye is taken from a black and white photo so it's probably photoshopped. XD But I've known people with some pretty intense natural eye colors. I had a friend named Jade with super intense emerald-green eyes like that. They were unreal.

Mine eyes don't really fit with anything here. I have blue eyes with a yellow-green ring in the middle. So sometimes they look greenish and sometimes they look blue.

[Lethal Lullaby]

I think mine are more of a russet. And just something random: When I wear red eye shadow it kinda makes them look like they, the iris' have reddish tint.

EDIT: Hmm now that I look again I think they are nutbrown. Idk lol I'll have someone take a picture and figure it that way.

[Prowler]

Chocolate or amber, depending on the lighting.

[DarkFell]

I sit between amber and chestnut. Sometimes they turn brown or a sort of chartreuse varying upon the light.

[shuriken]

Brown. Chocolate I guess.
It'd be cool if we post pictures on here too, that way PROOF

[BabyTurtles]

Gonna say Nut brown.

[IndigoErth]

It'd be cool if we post pictures on here too, that way PROOF
I have eyeballs! Honest!

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Me too, though they are not very good ones. I'm near-sighted as all heck. Can't see clearly more than six inches from my face without specs.

[IndigoErth]

Ah, I know the feeling, I'm about as bad off. My left is about the same distance. My right is maybe double that at most.

I like the color, but they don't work very well... lol



Edit:

Ok, have an eye. My exact color, kind of a stoney blue. About the same color I like to buy jeans in actually... realizing that now. lol

[pennydreadful]

Eh, I don't think I really fit with any of the ones on the chart - mine change depending on my mood, whether I've just woken up, etc. I've got a mix of green, brown and yellow tones so they sort of shift.

I wish they were a prettier color; I always thought blue eyes and bright green eyes were really striking - my dad has bright blue eyes but his genetics passed me over on that count, unfortunately!

Interesting. Mine are just a shade lighter than that most of the time, but with a thin ring of green flecks in the centers

[Shiro Kame]

Turquoise; mostly blue with a tad of green.

[Jephael]

That chocolate eye looks so much like it could be a major close-up of a lady friend of mine from back home.

[Peanut]

That chocolate eye looks so much like it could be a major close-up of a lady friend of mine from back home.

The "lady friend" thing is starting to reach Chris-Chan levels of creep, bud.

[Jephael]

Yea sorry, dude. I've been feeling really lonely as of late.

[CaliperCat]

Mine are similar to forest green, but the green is quite a bit lighter, the colored bit around the pupil is a bit more yellow, and the outsides of my irises are dark green. My ex used to call them "sunflower eyes," because they look a bit like sunflowers in the middle.

[Leo656]

My pictures are easy enough to find. I do enough work around here, go look for 'em. :lol:

Although why would people lie about their eye color? I'unno.

[IndigoErth]

I dunno, but I guess color contacts are a thing for a reason. :trazz: (But heck, I can't even get myself to try prescription ones...)



http://www.daveltd.com/photo/macro/eyes/jalene/1004-35-cropped.jpg

Oh, and that is insane. Kinda freaky, but interesting. Never seen that before. It's like torn lace or cobwebs. o.O

[Leo656]

Hm, interesting point. I always wanted blue eyes. But I like mine. I probably wouldn't change 'em. I've been told they look "sinister" on account of how dark they are, that's kinda neat I guess. :lol:

[Slade]

I've got a mix with the greens and blues maybe some grey thrown in there too.

[IndigoErth]

I've been told they look "sinister" on account of how dark they are, that's kinda neat I guess. :lol:
Oh, well in that case you have the perfect eyes to do some expert leering. :tlol:


Eh, blue eyed people are just a bunch of mutants. :twink: If from a common ancestor as been suggested, I assume it was some guy who must have seduced many ladies with them. :lol: Clearly.


Seriously though, on eye color, was it just me or did Megan Fox's eyes look kinda creepy in dark lighting in TMNT...

[Leo656]

Oh, well in that case you have the perfect eyes to do some expert leering. :tlol:


Chicks tend not to notice if you just make it look like you're thinking really hard. :tgrin: "Is he staring at...? No, no, he clearly just has a lot of things on his mind. He seems like a swell fella, if a bit aloof and preoccupied."

Y e a h, s'what I want you to think... :tgrin:

By the looks of my eye I'm a chocolate(?) :3 Finally got a decent pic of them.
I remember my mom telling me when I was born my eyes were almost black.

[Prowler]

I'm fine with having brown eyes. I have brown hair already, so why would I want blue or green eyes? Wouldn't really fit, even though it's not uncommon for people to have dark hair and light eyes or the opposite.

I'd love to have natural black hair, though. And eyes? Red, like a demon. And the kind that glow in the dark. Would be badass.

I, too, would love that. Or purple eyes would be nice too. :3

I USED to wear them, but mostly because A) I need corrective lenses and was tired of glasses, and B) I had blue ones to enhance my natural color, rather than change it.

So now I'm a mutant? GREAT! Although, there is some research that shows blue-eyed folks can see better in the dark, because light eyes collect more light or something. As a side-note, I DO have excellent night-sight, in spite of being so darn near-sighted. In some ways, I see better at night than I do during the day! Heh, I guess that makes me like a cat, kind of. (And seeing better in the dark has the side-effect of also making you more light-sensitive, so my eyes sometimes hurt on really bright days- especially if there is snow everywhere....)

Would help to explain why I also find headlights at night on the road so blinding. Not that everyone doesn't, but I really despise those super bright blue-ish ones many cars now. (Blinding people who are driving past you sounds like an awesome idea!)

Don't think the dark helps me see any better though. :ohwell: I have however trained my left to be able to focus good at close range so I'm good at reading fine print. :)

[pennydreadful]

I, too, would love that. Or purple eyes would be nice too. :3

Purple eyes would be awesome! Or like, crimson eyes, like a really dark blood-red. That would be so boss. :D

[Slade]

So I ain't real sure where they fall on that list

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Looks blue-green to me. That chart's not really comprehensive, TBH. It's missing the greys and violets, for one thing.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

Mine are like Gunmetal Blue.

[ImmaAxolotl]

Mine's a mix of amber and chesnut. Pretty snazzy.

[Prowler]

They look greenish to me. Maybe borderline blue.

[IndigoErth]

Yeah, there's plenty of variation missing from the chart. And as has been said, possibly Photoshopped.

All colors are pretty though. :) And all prob unique enough to have it's own Crayola crayon-like name. :P lol

[Netkeeper]

Mine look closest to forest green, looks like.

Those obvious shops, though. Nobody has emerald or bottle green ****ing eyes.

[senpai]

Mine are like the 'sapphire' picture. Something close to that. They're like dark blue with a bit of gray. Depending on the lighting, my eyes will look green...which is weird...

[Machias Banshee]

Hm... none of those colors match my eyes. My eyes are super pale silver green. if I get sick or tired, they lose the color and just look straight silver-grey. :ohwell:

[Kite]

I had a friend named Jade with super intense emerald-green eyes like that. They were unreal.

Her parents were lucky that her eyes turned out green, with that name! :lol:

[Lisardo]

Mine are like greenish blue. Maybe sapphire. Tho they turn emerald color when I cry or my eyes are watery.

[Sahtori]

They are blue/Grey. Though have a knack of changing from dim Grey to bright blue. People who meet me always try looking in my eyes. I hate eye contact. I always look down, I'm ugly, not great company... Depression stuff. But when I do look for eye contact, people get freaked out. Most of the time I do that when I'm angry and someone is provoking me.

My grandmother always said to me: "Don't look at me with your ugly fish eyes!"

So yeah my eyes might be fish color too?

Here's a pic. I know I'm ugly and smiling is hard for me.

Maybe it's not my place to tell other people what to think... but, hun, I think you've been believing the wrong things all that time. :)

Furthermore...

Fish eyes...wut? IMO it just sounds like a shallow attempt at verbal abuse; ignorant comments that have no real definition and purposely leaves the one hurt by it to wonder about it forever, never figuring it out because it can't be figured out, it has no actual meaning. (Case in point: When I was a kid and my mother liking to threaten my sister that she dare not ever be like me - but she NEVER pointed out what supposedly made me so bad. Looking back, I was a good kid, she probably actually had nothing to point out... she was just being cruel.)

As far as fish really go... Fish have somewhat similar eyes to humans, but there is no "fish color," and taking all species into account, their eyes come in MANY colors. But they don't have the kind of patterning in the iris that humans have and their eyes often seem to match the body color of the fish - and you don't appear to have blue skin. ;)

Plenty of fish actually have pretty eyes, so they are a pretty lousy subject to choose for an insult imo. Granted they don't have eyelids, but you appear to have those like any other normal human being, but even if someone has big round eyes, that's generally considered a good trait.

I didn't really had a great child hood, but who didn't ... the color of a 'grey' fish she meant, she threw a lot of words towards me. Even when I said: 'My eyes are the color of the ocean.' she'd say: 'Oh filthy?! Because our Ocean is filthy.'

You don't wanna know the rest she said, ... hence I have PTSD ... My past wasn't so bad ...

Thank you though, ... for the compliment

[pennydreadful]

OMG hun, you are SO not ugly - you're beautiful. You have gorgeous skin, the most incredibly intense eyes, a lovely face shape and lips that other girls would kill for.

I understand being down on yourself; I have depression too and it can definitely mess up the way we see ourselves. Try not to be so hard on yourself though - I don't know you very well but you come across as a very talented artist, a generally nice person and someone who's lovely both inside and out. :)

[SophieDem]

My eyes are green but like a cat's eyes. It's pretty strange. :D They have some brownish colour in them as well but mostly green.

Seeing what Kanon posted... I never knew cognac existed. >< Has ayone ever met someone who had cognac eyes?

Forest green :/ I would do ANYTHING for blue!

But green is so rare in comparison! :)



Speaking of eye colors (and eye stuff in general), you guys see that recent article on the doctor who had supposedly been cured from Ebola? Virus hid out in his eye like some kind of safe room, causing his eye to change color and lost sight. o.O Supposedly returned to normal it was taken care of. Freaky.

Jester, you have such pretty eyes, LOL! And mine are just a shade lighter and more greenish than yours.

[THGhost]

Based on the chart, mine are forest green. They have a little more grey in them though.
