Lady Winter Rose Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 My family are having a debate. What colour is this eye? Edited to add: same eyes not in direct sunlight. There's no word for hazel in Croatian, or Serbian, so we might say brown, green-brown, but I think correct description would be hazel. Why are you having this debate in your family? Is there need to DNA testing (hahaha)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N/A Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Interesting, thank you for your opinions. It's my eye, of course - I used to have very dark brown eyes as a little girl, but they seem to be getting a lot lighter and also greeny-ish-er as I get older. My Dad has dark brown eyes, my Mum has sort of greyish greenish blueish. Apparently the genetics of eye colour is way more complicated and interested than the boring Punnett squares we all learned in high school.I was born with blue eyes, then they turned green by the time I was 7 or a bit more , now they're clearly light brown/golden . Eyes are weird stuff :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxus Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I would call the colour in the second pic light brown though the lower half does appear a bit greenish. There's no word for hazel in Croatian, or Serbian, so we might say brown, green-brown, but I think correct description would be hazel.The closest thing to "hazel" would be "kestenjasto" (for non-Serbian/Croatian speakers - it's the colour of chestnut) but it's used to describe hair colour more often than eye color.

I have to say the term doesn't apply here. Or we're talking about some really weird chestnuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said "the closest thing to "hazel"", not "hazel" ;) EDIT: I meant to say we don't really have many words for specific shades of brown and "kestenjasto" is the only one I can think of at the moment.

Eyes are weird stuff :dunno: Caucasian babies are born with dark blue eyes. They change colour and then your colour is pretty much set by about a year. Although there are exceptions.

Kelli Fury Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 They're hazel, they don't really look green to me at all. Most of the time people who describe their eyes as green don't look green at all to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you having this debate in your family? Is there need to DNA testing (hahaha)?Thankfully not! My family hasn't seen me for over a year and a few of them think there has been a change in my eye colour in that short time. There has definitely been a big change since I was young, they used to be really a very dark brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Caucasian babies are born with dark blue eyes. They change colour and then your colour is pretty much set by about a year. Although there are exceptions. My eyes seemed to vacillate between hazel and green for a lot of my childhood. They've settled on green-with-a-yellow-band now, though.
