Dark brown, with gray rims and flecks of kind of a greenish color.

My brother has really weird colored eyes. We call them "sparrow brown". They're kind of a light reddish-yellow brown, rather striking when you look at him. Sometimes they look really red, sometimes they look really yellow. Kinda freaky, makes you look twice :lol3:.

Also today is the 10th ;)

What do people usually mean by hazel? I believe the word means a medium reddish-brown, like a hazelnut. But I think most people use it to mean "sort of bluish-greenish".

Hazel here too.  Leaning to green.

I was blue eyed as a young kid though. I guess I'm like a baby cat and they changed later LOL

Mine are brown, but I also have a recessive gene for blue eyes. One of my sons has blue eyes, and my brown-eyed son has a blue-eyed son of his own. I knew a family in my husband's family that had the most unusual color of eyes. The iris was different shades of blue radiating from the center black (aperture) and then had a black or navy blue ring around the whole iris. They were quite beautiful as well as unusual.

One of my brothers has blue eyes. My dad has green eyes. So I assume I carry the gene for not-brown (lol, like cat color genes are red and not-red, hmm?) but I'm never going to find out :lol3:. My younger brother (with the sparrow-brown eyes) still has a chance of having kids, though it's not likely, so I'll probably never know if he would pass that color on. My blue-eyed brother's kids have blue eyes, but his wife does too so that's really the only option.

Blue.  Sometimes there is a greenish cast around the pupil but the shade of blue changes depending on what I'm wearing.  

A friend of mine's eyes change with her cycle.  Her eyes are normally green but they go yellow green at that time.  I've never heard an explanation for that!  I assume hormones; but it's still different. The color change is striking.

Blue. Bright blue actually. Rick has always been surprised at how blue my eyes are. And our son's eyes are very blue, too. Rick's eyes are a very pale blue and they're getting paler as he ages.

Blue-gray with a green ring around the pupil. My dad and brother had green eyes, my mom and sister brown.

Mine are brown. My entire extended family has brown eyes but I have a blue eyed daughter. My husband's family have brown eyes too so we don't know exactly where the blue came from.
