I have hazel eyes.

I was born with solid brown eyes. Somewhere in my 20's, my eye color started to change and I ended up with hazel eyes. Then, in my 60's, my eye color began to change again, and I now have green eyes.

I have no idea why or how this happened; but, it did. My late father had a beautiful pastel green eye color, which my eldest daughter has inherited. My green eye color, at the moment, is a darker hue of green.

I do know that I used to be told that the shade of my hazel eyes would be influenced by the colors I wore, don’t know if that is true or not.

Also, my eyes have always been more blue than as this article mentions.

I have green eyes; my background is largely British - Scottish, Irish, Welsh.

I didn’t realize until recently that green eyes are actually the most rare; but when I thought about it, I realized I had only met one other person in my life with green eyes (if you discount one neighborhood boy with heterochromia - one brown, one green.)

And apparently, green eyes don’t really have any ‘color’:

I have green eyes.
My late Mom was green eyed with dark red hair.
My Dads eyes were a deep dark brown.
His hair was black.

My brother has gorgeous hazel eyes.
Both of us had dark brown hair that
became very light in summer.

Our ancestors came from France and landed on the
Gaspe Peninsula.

I have an Irish great grandmother on my Mom’s side.
My dad’s folks were from the Brie province in France.
My Mom’s side has not been investigated much
(I started on it too late!)
