If you know lRIDOLOGY (diagnosis by studying the iris) you know that hazel eyes are discoloured blue eyes. There are two natural healthy coloured irises - clear blue (including light grey & - rarely, green-blue) or clear brown. In the hazel-eyed person, the digestive tract (around the pupil in the iris map) could do with a detox.
@@hamishanderson6738 No. I don't know where you got any of this, but hazel is as genetic as brown and blue. I've got them and I've always got them. That's like calling brown people "dirty and in need of washing."
I didn’t know I had hazel eyes until a girl in college said that my green jacket brought out the green in my eyes. I was about 19 and until that time, I always thought I had brown eyes. I never looked close enough to my own eyes until then and realized I did indeed have hazel eyes. lol. Both of my daughters also have hazel eyes. They do seem to change colors at times.
I have hazel eyes that are green dominant. My husband always told me that I had the most beautiful eyes that he had ever seen. He was the most ❤beautiful man that I ever seen. I spent 32 years of my life with him. I love him, still. 😢
Im sorry. Glad you have him in your love still. I married younger hazel eyed American military man. So beautiful to me. Especially his dark brows and lashes, brown hair with sun burned reddish color. And tan skin from being out in sun all the time. I don’t like him for that though. He is just very honest and loves me.
I have Hazel Eyes, i am from Turkey. my theory is that Hazel eyes are more frequent in populations who have mixed blue eyed and brown eyed people, as my grandfather has blue eyes and my grandmother has brown eyes, my father has hazel eyes and i got them too. both my father and i are also the only ones in the family possessing hazel eyes, the rest have brown and blue eyes.
I'm Hungarian and have reached the same conclusion. There are people in my family, both my grandfather's and my brother with blue eyes, quite many with hazel and amber eyes, and some with real brown eyes. That is the smallest percentage as most have a mixture of blue/brownish.
You are right. My mother had deep blue eyes my father light brown. Mine were hazel. But late in life after 55 they started to look more brownish. Weird eyes grow darker while the hair goes lighter . Mine is almost white😊
Hazel eyed American here. Mom had dark brown eyes and Dad has bright blue. I was born with Hazel. Interesting video. Welsh, French and Scandanavian descent.
Same here. I have Hazel eyes that are mostly a forrest green. Mom has brown eyes, dad has blue. I also have red hair. My mom is a brunette and my dad is blonde. Irish and Italian decent.
Me and my husband had blue eyes and we have a daughter with hazel green eyes. But I think she inherited her grandmother's eyes. My daughter has red hair too.
Hello my hazel friends, I'm a Belgian 89 year old woman who received lots of compliments for those eyes when I was young, they are light brown with specks of yellow and green
When I was in my 50s, I dated someone who was mesmerized by my hazel eyes. Nobody before that or since have mentioned my eye color. Ì didn't realize that only 5% have it.
most likely not that rare with white people, maybe rare in the world though due to europeans being a global minority in the millions whilst africans indians, etc are in the billions each and so on
I have hazel eyes, the only one in my immediate family. Ancestral migration to Maine was via Canada, Yorkshire and several Viking lines. Several Irish grandmothers in the paternal line also.
The whole of my family in England have blue eyes. I've got, I've just learned, hazel eyes. For decades we've described them as toad-green, and wondered which ancestor they came from. Grandma's family was Scottish, but they all had blue eyes. I love the toad-green colour of them, because they're able to go lighter green when I'm happy in the summer and mouldy/earthy-green in the winter 🤣🤣
Well, I'm 63 and I've never known how to describe my eye colour... till today! I have the hazel sunburst centre, green above and blue/grey beneath. I always thought my eyes were just a confusing mess, now I know that this glorious variety of the spectrum is called hazel, and only 5% of the world have It. Whoopeee!🎉
Agree! I was told by my family that I have brown eyes. Yet, growing up I would notice that some days they looked green - other times green with a blue tint. I think either my family did not know about the hazel color - or they were jealous. :-) I recently realized that they ARE hazel - and started changing my driver's license information. I am 70+ years old. lol!
I have hazel eyes that lean heavily blue. The center is a deeper green, but the outer edge is more blue/green. When the sky is really bright blue or I wear lighter blue colors, they can look quite blue. Other times, there are gold flecks that pop-up and they look more green. I love my eyes!
My mother's eyes are like that! And the older she gets her eyes seem to be getting bluer (she's in her late 80's). I have hazel eyes with a brown center and green edge.
My eyes are hazel, and it is funny to hear people try and describe them. It's either green or brown, hazel isn't a word in their ocular vocabulary. The best thing about hazel eyes is that our eyes can seem to change color, it really confuses people. For example, when I got my first driver's license hazel wasn't an option in the system so they listed me as brown. A while later when I showed my license they thought my ID was fake cause my eye color was off, they said I had green eyes and wanted to know if I wore contacts.
I went through the same, each time I need to renew my passport I state that my eye color is hazel but they either write brown or green because they think they know better than I do what my eye color is. Ridiculous!
I like reading about ppl’s color of eyes, strangely.☺️ My boyfriend has hazel 👀 and they change color depending on the color of whatever shirt he’s wearing. His gaze can melt me, beautiful eyes❣️
Ha ha me too and almost same situation, then someone will say they're not green you're lying, no not lying just dumbfounded at describing my eye colour!
I have Hazel Eyes, In the US Appalachian region, my primary ancestry is Scottish, Fifth Generation on my Mom's side. My Dad's side is Mulungeon, a mixed ethnicity native to the Appalachians; composed of Cherokee, Choctaw, British, Portuguese, possibly Turkish, and African ethnicities. My Dad's family has lived in the Appalachians for 400 years.
You might me interested in some fantasy books written by Alex Bledsoe. The setting is in a place like Appalachia and the first book is called the hum and the shiver. About a musically magical group of people who were the first people there. An easy read and felt good. Wish it had a musical sound track to go with it.
Hello, cousin. 🙂 I have noticed that we Appalachians have a high frequency of the hazel eyes. The Appalachian Mountains, Atlas Mountains, Scottish Highlands and Scandinavian Mountains were all once part of the same mountain range.
I have hazel eyes. My house is painted green and I wear green often. I love green. My father's DNA was traced back to Mongolia many years ago. His very dark skinned mother had DNA with origins from Nepal and she married a blue eyed English man. My father's eyes were dark brown. My mother had very blue eyes and her ancestry was Welsh, Irish and Scottish. Two of their five children have hazel eyes. My child has hazel eyes. How lucky we are to be so unique. I am the whitest skinned of the five children but I have the very dark brows and lashes of my father. In my youth I had very wavy auburn hair similar to my father.
Try purple if it's in your color palette. My eyes are olive green (technically hazel), and I always wear a deep purple shadow stick on my eyelids, which really makes the green pop. I also have some deep purple and lavender tops that do the same. However, a big chunk of my wardrobe is olive green (and I love chartreuse), but I also have olive skin and fall coloring, so it's just flattering all around.
@@oceans.and.deserts Mauve is perfection on me. It may be because of the white skin PLUS the hazel eyes. I wear purple everything. Even have my shoes dyed purple, and purple shadow stick. It's strange how every shade of purple works. It's absolutely beautiful. I wear a mauve cream color corrector under my make-up. It just works.
I have hazel eyes...sometimes green, sometimes more brown. As a toddler my mother said my eyes would turn dark grey before it rained. I'm of Polish/Yugoslavian & Scandanavian background.
I'm 65 and always thought my eye colour was boring. So happy to come across this video. I now feel very differently about my eyes. Now if only they were bigger. 😊
I grew up thinking my eyes were sort of a lighter cinnamon brown; in adulthood, my sister told me my eyes are more amber-hazel. I looked closer at my eyes in different lights... and she's right! A unique and pretty range of colors.
@bigred9428 Really? That's pretty interesting! You know, there is a commenter here that mentioned the idea of having one parent with blue eyes, and the other with brown possibly having a higher incidence of a hazel eyed offspring. That's something I never thought about; I had one blue-eyed and one brown-eyed parent! Fascinating.
Owner of a pair of Hazel colored eyes, and of northern European descent. My eyes do shift from more green to more golden depending on the light and color of clothing. Loved the video, thanks!
When I was in middle school a group of girls got in trouble for making a "Book of Bests". In essence a book that rated people and their features in our classes. I found out I won "Prettiest Eyes". I have Hazel green eyes, which often look pure green when the sun hits them. I didn't realize they were rare. Not that it really matters but it's interesting. Thanks for the vid buddy.
I have green, gold hazel eyes. I am from the USA, Southern California. My parents had blue eyes. My ancestry is primarily English, Welsh, German, and Irish. My sister has blue eyes. I'm not sure who else in my family had hazel eyes. Maybe my maternal grandmother. She would have been primarily Irish and German, I believe. My immediate family members all have brunet hair color, with the exception of my daughter. She is blond. My daughter has gold, blue, green hazel eyes. Her daddy had ocean green, blue, and gold eyes and blond hair. He was born in the USA and had basically the same ancestry but with some Scandinavian and a tiny amount of Native American. My daughter's eyes definitely change color depending on lighting, the color of clothing she is wearing, and possibly her mood. Mine as well. At times, my daughter's eyes can look golden/khaki. She is my pride and joy 😊
Hazel/Green here. I have received many compliments over the decades on my eyes. They are mostly green with a brown starburst around the pupil and a blue/grey outer ring.
@@tammyjoma I was in my car on a sunny day and happened to glance in the visor mirror and got a good look at my eyes as illuminated by sunlight and thought, “My eyes are tricolored-brown, green and blue/grey.
Hey, @@archangel1527, I'm glad you were able to get a good look at them and notice that! :) Me, too. The blue-gray ring around my eyes seems more marked than in the thumbnail & at times, seems bluer than others. Not sure if my hazel eyes change colour, both the outer ring & inner colour, but it sure seems like it!
Hi, I have hazel eyes. I am Canadian, born in Nova Scotia with Scottish heritage . I never knew my eye colour was only 5% of the population. Thanks, all the best.❤️🇨🇦
Hi. I am Cajun French. Where I come from hazel eyes are extremely common. You may have French Acadian heritage as it is, again, extremely common where I am from. And our people come from your region.
I have hazel eyes, so does my son, beautiful eyes, my daughter has green hazel eyes, my father had green eyes, his father blue eyes. My husband's mother had green eyes, her father had blue eyes. Hazel eyes are beautiful indeed.
I have hazel green eyes, both my mother and fathers family have family dating back to the 1600's in Nova Scotia. Strong Acadian blood , Scottish, MicMac and Irish.
I'm the hazel-eyed daughter of two blue-eyed parents from Appalachia. My DNA says I'm mostly from England, Scotland, and Ireland -- with a little bit of North Africa and Native America as well.
I have 4 children. My husband and I have blue eyes. My oldest child has dark brown eyes, 2nd has green eyes, 3rd light brown eyes, 4th bright blue eyes. Go figures genetics are weird and much more complex than highschool suggests.
@@lauradon8603It’s genetically impossible for a child to have brown eyes if both of their parents have blue or green eyes. Blue and green are recessive genes, meaning both parents need to pass this gene on in order for it to be the visible trait. If someone has brown eyes they only have to have one parent pass this gene on because it is a dominant gene. So, the man you are claiming to be the dad, ain’t the dad because someone passed that brown gene on and it obviously wasn’t you.
Thank-you for this program! I am from America and I have hazel eyes, but I never liked the color. I always thought of them as being indecisive; they couldn't decide what color to be! 😊 Whatever color clothes I wore, changed the perception of my eye color. This program helped me appreciate there is beauty in the hazel color.
Same here! Always thought of hazel eyes were the least desirable. I have them and always wished I could have any colour ,brown ,blue any distinctive color.
U.S.A. Female here. I’ve got hazel eyes too. Italian on my father’s side, French and Native American on my mother’s side. Throughout the years, I’ve had photographers tell me I have beautiful eyes. From the center, there is a burst of golden brown blending into yellowish green, transitioning into grayish blue, ending with a darker blue rim on the outside. When I cry, the colors appear to deepen, or they seem to shift hues. It is pretty cool!
I have Hazel eyes... I am from Canada 🇨🇦 I noticed that my eye color changes with my mood. When I am upset they turn more greenish, as when I am joyful they are more gold. I do agree there are Spiritual aspects related to eye color, being the eyes are a mirror to the Soul 🦋
My eye color changes due to the amount of light. The emerald green outer ring & the gold color right around the pupil always stay the same. The area of pale green color between the 2 shrinks or widens depending on the size of my pupil. In bright light when my pupil is tiny they appear lighter green. When there's less light & my pupil is bigger they look more gold.
Fellow hazel-eyed Canuck here. My daughter has the same colour of eyes as I do, and hers change the same ways as mine. It's kind of freaky. My husband's eyes are a very very pale blue, almost colourless, and my son is the odd one out with brown eyes. We have no idea where they come from, as my family all have hazel eyes too, and hubby's family have blue. Tho there's a few suspects, pending genetic heritage testing to verify (Italian in hubby's case, and Canadian First Nations in mine...).
@@ANTI-VAXXER-g7u I not met one yet in Spain. The other people I know, one Romanian and a few English people with hazel eyes - none of us are coof jibbied. I'm anti - if people go on the UK NHS (gov healthcare) website they list all ingredients of all jibbies - one at 8 weeks old to stop ya baby being sick and diarrhea has the most gross Ingredients and side effects is sickness and diarrhea 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢 I got half way through the first two sets of baby jabs and literally vomitted. I have two friends that never jabbed their kids and the kids never sick except chicken pox, glad I not got kids - I don't jab my pets. My sis jabbed her dog and it had a seizure Instantly, vet had changed provider - poisoning us all.
My daughter calls her eye color 'hazel' but actually they are a blue green in color, and can vary color, depending upon what she is wearing, or the weather. Outdoors, if there is snow on the ground, her eyes are vividly blue. Sometimes they are very green. Our ancestry is British Isles and German.
I've noticed some people seem to use Hazel to describe a blue or grey mix. I think they're probably describing central heterochromia, but Hazel is a mix of green and brown.
Mine are blue, but I have a gold/hazel/green corona around the pupil that expands/contracts depending on the light. Very blue in blue sky/water, hazel/grey in Seattle rain. Mom had jade green eyes and dad had ice blue eyes - but his dad had hazel. Danish mom, Russian/scots/irish/german dad.
This is a confusion I've had most of my life. My eyes are mostly blue with a ring of green in the center and a few brown "freckles" scattered about. They can appear blue, turquoise, or green depending on what I'm wearing.
It’s neat to find that changing color is common in hazel eyes. Also didn’t realize it was a more rare color. I have a bit of all colors in my eyes. And my daughter one time mentioned when she was older that my eyes too would change color
Hello, Spanish, Irish, Scottish here with hazel eyes (brown leaning). Parents had very dark brown eyes, as do my 4 siblings. Mine were a lighter brown that turned hazel when I was 19-2, love them. Thank you SO much for the information, very interesting!
I have hazel eyes, mostly green, which I inherited from my father. Mother had brown eyes as did my sister. My father's family is from Germany, but I was only able to go back about 4 generations. My eyes are more sensitive to light than most people I know, and I developed cataracts earlier, as did my father. Very interesting video (and I'm very thankful for closed captions!).
Sixth generation Australian here, living right on top of the Tropic of Capricorn. I am of black Irish and Scots descent, with green dominant hazel eyes, as do most of my seven siblings. One brother has blue eyes.
also black Irish, in the US. hazel eyes started out as blue then turned hazel. this seems good but all the repair tissue on my body (scratches, cuts) came in white without much melanin so after about 50 my skin looks like mortadella. I have basal cell cancer that must get frozen off every 6 months, due to this genetic situation. Also, on my father's side (Irish, dutch, French) he has had all manner of eye maladies: wet eye, dry eye, macular degeneration, basal cell cancer. Keep a look out for those in the event your condition is similar.
I’m also Irish. Born and bred on the island of Ireland and the first time I heard of Black Irish was when an Australian who I meet in France described me as such. My sister’s daughter had a dna test done and was disappointed to learn she was 99% indigenous Irish. I have had Pakistani and Indian people ask me which family and place in Pakistan and India do I come from. 🤣
@@redrumrabbit she has dark brown eyes , sallow skin and as she doesn’t fit the stereotypical image of what native Irish people look like, she was hoping to find some “foreign “ heritage that would explain that. Romantic exoticism. But the DNA demonstrates that, especially in Cork and Kerry, the legacy of the Anatolian farmers maintains.
@@Oluinneachain my understanding is that the term, Black Irish, refers to folks with some Spanish descent. This carries genes from North African invaders. My Mother tans easily, so perhaps there’s some truth in this theory. Anyway, I’m told Great Uncle Mick Gallagher was a docker, who declared, “You’re Black Irish, and don’t forget it!”
My son was born with light brown hair and tootsie roll dark eyes. By time he was 5, his hair got darker, and his eyes lighter. By 16, he had black hair and my green based hazel eyes. Beautiful combimation.
I had never heard of this till my daughter! Her eyes were dark brown as a kid but became lighter and lighter and are hazel green. Very cool to hear of some one else with this experience as it comes from husbands side!
Mine changed a lot also. I had strawberry blond hair and blue eyes as a baby. The older I got the darker my hair got. My eyes are crazy. Blue ring on the outer and the inner has grey/brown with flakes of gold. So I never know what to check. Coworker asked me one day. I was like. I have no idea. I said really look at them. She is like those are crazy colors. I got the left overs.
@@ceceliagettemy2906 I had dark brown eyes when I was young, but sometime in the past 10 years they lightened up and began to turn a green-brown. Yep, my daddy had hazel eyes.
I'm also half Irish and half Native American, Crow tribe and my eyes are hazel. I like that my eyes will change color according to my emotions and the light. Nobody in my immediate family has them. I don't wear makeup very often but when I do it's fun to play up the different colors with eye shadow. Thanks for the video!
@@Moonlightpuppeteer My name is: Maryellen I am half Irish, and half Native American Indian, my tribe is Cherokee from North Carolina, nice meeting you on RUclips
Irish, english, scottish, germatic, Scandinavian, and Cherokee. Was born with dark brown eyes. They apparently changed after being stationed at Fort Bliss texas. Did know they would change color depending on mood until at a dance club in Germany with black lights and wearing a white shirt. They would glow bright green. mostly hazel now
My left handed, unfreckled, ginger daughter has hazel eyes. She is a genetic wonder! The product of a blond and brunette (both right handed), she is a middle child with an older blond and younger brunet brother! She can also see more colors and taste more flavors than the rest of us. I believe that she is more angel than human! ❤
A lot of Hazel eyed people are RH negative blood types. Look into it. Spain and nortwest africa have some of the highest RH negative populations in the world.
Hi! I have Hazel eyes with the Hazel burst and mossy green surrounding. My Mother has extremely dark brown eyes and my Dad has vivid blue like the color of the Mediterranean Sea. I am a blend of Scottish/ Spanish and Native American. Thank you for this informative video!
I have the brown sunburst also as fir the rest of my eyeballs never figured it out... at 63 no matter how I scrutinise them in the mirror can neither call it blue green grey its like a mosaic of all three.
My mother was Italian and my father was Scottish, Irish, Welsh, English and Dutch/German. He had blue eyes that sometimes looked green. I have green hazel eyes, as I've gotten older they have become greener. My daughter has more brown hazel, her daughter started out very blue but now has very pale yellow(almost white) not gold) rays coming out from the pupils. Very beautiful. New baby has dark green almost teal green but no brown or gold. Their Dad has darker blue eyes that sometimes look green. So we will be watching to see how they change.
@@andreafong9952 Yes, true green eyes, but my hazel eyes have possibly lost melanin with age, scientifically I don't know why, but the green in my hazel eyes are now the predominant color rather than the golden brown.
@@adriennelaf5083I have had the same experience, I’m 50 and the brown ring around my pupil is much smaller than it was when I was younger. Neither of my parents nor any of my four siblings have hazel eyes 🤷♀️
I had brown eyes up until I was around 11. Then over the summer, my eyes turned green. My immediate family didn't even notice when I went back to school in September one of my teachers noticed over the next year they changed again and became Hazel and that's what they still are
I had dark brown eyes until I was 12/13 then went to hazel without going green...but they go from hazel to green mixed and light brown and green with a smattering of gold. No one else in my family has hazel eyes... I am unique 😊!
I had blue eyes until junior high. Nobody noticed the change until I went back to school after summer break and people asked me if I was wearing contacts. I call them silver and gold. Gold near the iris and silver around the outside. My eyes seem to shift color with the light. Brown to green to amber depending on light and who's looking.
I feel like mine showed up brown/amber in photos up til about peuberty- maybe 10 or 11, 12 at most but they shifted to be the green with orange sort of hazel. Now I'm older, just turned 40 and they're mainly a honey middle with a green/grey outter ring. Pretty neat to know lots of us had this happen!
Me too. I see now I am more rare then I thought. I'm in the USA Kansas I have native American blood plus Romanian blood in me. My mom and dad had blue eyes. I'm the ONLY one in all my family that has Hazel/green eyes.
Really? I always loved mine for their uniqueness - I'm one of 6 with 12 nieces and nephews, everyone in my family is blue eyed except one grandma who had brown.
I have hazel eyes, and neither of my parents nor my sister have had. My father had brown eyes, my mother had blue/grey eyes, and my sister has brown eyes. None of my ancestors, at least for a thousand years, came from the Iberian peninsula, North Africa, nor the Middle East, though I was born and raised in California, which is at a similar latitude. When I was young (I'm now 75) my eyes looked brown except in strong light when the green was visible. Over the years my eyes have become lighter to where now they look hazel even in low light conditions. For what it's worth, my skin tone is very pale but, before I went grey, my hair was a very dark brown, so the distribution of melanin is uneven.
Both my half sister (my father's side) and I have hazel eyes from our father. My father's recent heritage is German and Norwegian. We are all light skin, dark brown curly to wavy thick hair. I didn't know about the term hazel eyes, and it seemed no one else was familiar with the term, because when I gave description of brown/green eye color on forms, l would just get assigned one color or the other, more often brown because the green is a dark green. My eye color is about 50/50. I would not be surprised if many people with hazel eyes were incorrectly documented over the years by busy workers who didn't care and just wanted to get their paperwork done. So good luck figuring out the statistics of eye color.
I'm 52 and today years old when I found out I have hazel eyes. So thanks for that. I feel special now. I knew they were lighter than brown but nowhere as light a green or amber (which is what I thought hazel was). I think there's a lot more hazel eyed people around but we report them as brown on our legal documents. I can understand how people in vastly brown eyed countries would report theirs as different and mark them as hazel. Mine are swampy green, with rust center sunflowers, and gold ribbons.
There isnt just one shade to brown eyes. Brown eyes range from light brown to really dark near black like some Asian and Sub Saharan people have. Cant even differentiate the iris from the pupil. Mine are brown but when i look in the mirror i can the pattern in my iris and theres a darker ring around the outside perimeter of my iris. But yeah i get what you mean, my ex has hazzel eyes, she reckons she has brown eyes, i thought she did too until obe day she sent me a closeup photo of her eye and her eyes are actually a blend of brown and dark green.
54 and have never seen a form with an appropriate box for my eye color...i honestly dont think green/brown hazel is that uncommon a color...its just not well documented,or more precisely it's constantly misdocumented..hazel is not a color,it's rarely on any forms or an accepted answer...and you have to choose one..but if you look,tons of people have it..but are saying they have brown or green,i've done it myself...actual full green is way less common in my experience,as is blue for that matter..but I guess that might depend on your local populations genetics
@CrashAndBurnProductions My brother has pure green eyes. I'm Spaniard. Half my family, , (aunties, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews) have either blue eyes or green. My father had amber eyes. So does my other brother.
I'm from Wales and I have hazel eyes that change colour too. When I was born I had blue eyes but after having meningitis at the age of six months my eyes changed colour.
Hazel green eyes here. From US North Carolina. Have Native American roots and others as well. Always have people commenting on them!! Glad to be part of the 5%‼️
Hello cousins! Haida and Tlingit from my grandfather's side and Apache, Cherokee, Choctaw and Blackfoot on my grandmother's. Hope you all are all well!
If I wasn't here for the content, it would definitely be for this beautiful Scottish accent of yours. I know someone whose eyes change colours with lighting, health and mood. It's so interesting.
Mine are hazel, I usually get people saying they are green or brown, but depending on lighting I get people saying they are blue on occasion, and sometimes they turn grey in photos.
hazel green eyes with golden flecks that definitely appear to shift hues at times ~ both my parents have blue: dad's background's irish & welsh, mom's is irish & scottish - but my grams always asserted *not* scotch irish

I have hazel. Dad is blue-eyed dutch, , mom's Indonesian background is actually predominantly Indian according to dna tests that a couple family members on her side took.
My older sister and I (my sister passed (R I P)) have hazel eyes. I remember her eyes usually looking kinda brown and mine looking green. As I got older, I kept being told by women about my beautiful blue eyes. It always seemed weird, cause I was used to seeing myself as green eyed. But, it did seem to change growing up and I admit if the light is from the right angle and bright (like sunlight) my eyes do look bright blue.
Funny how that works! I never realised hazel was an option until today and I'm surprised by the similarities people around the world are experiencing about this (my) eye colour. I too have always been complimented about my big blue eyes but they're grey / green with brown around the pupil 😂
Hazel eyes here. Mom had the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen, dad's were practically black. I have what I call mood eyes. More green or brown depending on the day and what color top I'm wearing.
Hazel eyes here from the Philippines, but with Filipino, Spanish, Norwegian and Chinese ancestry. Mostly brown for me and my mother, but my cousin who is half Australian has mostly green Hazel eyes that always change colour and are amazing to look at.
I am an American with 100% Norwegian heritage. My mother had green eyes. My father had blue eyes. My brother has blue eyes. I have hazel eyes. My eyes have an outer ring of dark blue. The next area is sage green. Then the inside area is golden. There are also small flecks of burgundy scattered around. The green and golden areas are about even now.
Hello all you brothers and sisters of Hazel eyes! I'm another one! My father had Hazel eyes, my mother and brother had blue. Glad I have Dad's eyes. I have a very European DNA with Ireland, Scotland, Wales, French, Denmark and Sweden thrown in for good measure. Cherri.

So interesting! I have hazel eyes, one brother has bright green eyes that I always envied, and he got the lovely eyelashes too! I'm learning to be grateful for all sorts of things I didn't think about before. Thank you!
As a kid I had to take a train to school every day, and there was this boy (from another town) with eyes just like mine. Hazel Eyes. Which I thought odd. My Mom had them and my brother also but noone else in the family and noone else I knew. So when my grandmother told me that one of her sisters (she had 8 of them) grandsons took this train to town, also, I knew right away which one of those boys was related to me. And sure enough, upon asking him, it turned out to be so. I'm 72 now and I kind of was aware that eyes like mine were not common, but I had no idea they were this rare! Kinda' cool really. Thanks for the Video.
My father had Hazel eyes. His mother had brown eyes and she was of Anglo/Irish background. His father was of German/Danish and English background and had blue eyes. They were both Australian born.
I’m Japanese who has light brown eyes. My husband has blue eyes and two of our kids have hazel eyes since they were 4. And the third one is getting a bit of green so can’t wait to see this summer.
I always assumed mine were in the brown category. Mine are a darkish olive green with brown just in the centres. I didn't think they were light enough to be considered hazel! Very interesting! :)
I have hazel eyes. My dad was a blue eyed redhead (carrot top) and my mum brown eyed with dark brown hair. I was born in southern England. I have lived in subtropical Australia now for nearly 60 years and my eyes have changed colour at different times in my life. They were brown/green growing up but now they are more bluish. At one time they were mostly brown. I have always felt special having hazel eyes. Thanks for this information.
I have hazel eyes. One of my children has hazel eyes. My father had hazel eyes when I was young but his eyes have changed color. My dad is in his 80's, he's very healthy and physically fit. His eyes have slowly changed color and are now very light translucent grey blue. Our ancestry is predominately British/Scottish.
I’ve also had my eyes change color over the years. Until a few years ago I had very dark brown eyes. People have asked if I was wearing colored contacts because they were so dark. About six or seven years ago I noticed that the color was lighter and it has continued to change until today I have a light hazel color that will appear to lean towards blue depending on the color of the blouse I’m wearing.
Our family also came from Ireland(mostly). We have a lot of hazels, but more interesting is alot of aqua blue/Grey eyes. I see this in a few other families in our village and almost nowhere else. Very unusual for me to ever see that color eye anywhere else. Is this an Irish trait?
Very interesting! I have Hazel Eyes and from Australia…my mother is Spanish. Mine are multi coloured green with gold flecks that change colour with the weather.
Ever since childhood I was told that my eyes are yellow like a lions eyes… but maybe they are in fact hazel? Looking very closely they are a pale green in the background with golden/amber specks fanning out from the pupil. The iris has a teal coloured ring around it. I never saw anybody else with my eyecolour. My father had pale green/grey eyes, my mother hazel. Interesting story my father told: hush-hush tales of “a spanish soldier and a girl in the family” in 1808 or so.. the wars with Napoleon. I have no evidense, but my fathers mother had dark brown eyes an jet black hair, and more family members with very dark eyes and hair. I am from Denmark where blue eyes are the most common. Thank you for very interesting information😃
I once had a friend with this yellow apearing eyes, I never forgot these eyes. It is 40 years ago. Just love it because it is so very rare and very special.
My eyes are pretty close to yours, but maybe a little darker. I also have a teal ring around the outside, with orange ring inside next to the pupil and green/brown inbetween with gold flecks. Often people perceive them as light brown, until the light hits and they’re like “oh wait, that’s not brown!” 😂
I have hazel eyes! Lots Scottish/english, mine look almost like there is a dark blue circle around the greenish with specks leading into the more brownish starburst center
I have hazel eyes, mostly amber with some green. I also have a ring around the outer edge that can appear grey or brown under various conditions. On the rare occasions that I wear makeup, I tend to wear a green eyeshadow to bring out the greens. Also, I have a mix of Celtic (Scots), French, and English backgrounds.
I may have mentioned this in one of your other eye color videos, but I do have the dual color form of hazel eyes, with a brown ring in the middle and a dark jade green on the outside, though it is not very obvious except under bright lighting conditions. I imagine most people who note such things probably think they are are brown on casual inspection.
Wierd question here. I have hazel, my husband has blue. I am sensitive to light and can see in very low dim light, he cannot. He turns lights on 1st thing upon waking and I have to shield my eyes. Does this have anything to do with eye color or is it just me?
My eyes have gold around the iris then light green and a darker green rim. I have only seen two other people with my exact eye color. One was a girl on the cover of National Geographic and the other on a box of hair dye. Both were very beautiful. I have been told many times how striking my eyes are. I feel blessed to have them.
I was born with dark brown eyes that lightened as I got older to Hazel. My eyes go more yellow if I am sick, they can go muddy green and once I was told they had never seen sunflower yellow eyes. This was the year I had a toxic gallbladder which was perforated and no one caught it until I got so sick I could not keep water down. Survived the long ambulance drive to a larger hospital and emergency surgery. My gallbladder is now kept for teaching purposes because the odds of surviving a poisoning the system for so long and surviving it was rare I was told. I was even taking belly dancing at the time, so why it did not burst is an interesting question. My eye color was how my mother gauged my health and moods.
hi I am American indian, cherokee and Scots irish...my eyes turn yellow when I am sick....as do most of my family.here in apppalachia hazel eyes are a sigh of American naive mixture.. clyde
Clyde , interesting because my birth father is French from Quebec , on my birth info. Whether my birth mother lied or not is up for debate. My half sister asked her if the father informations of the 6 children were true. She said don’t remember. I thought I was just a weird child and my mom could read my thoughts. Glad I am not so weird.
I have hazel eyes, of the greenish variety! And they do change slightly. I am of French and Anglo-Norman descent, if that helps at all. Fascinating work, well done you!
My three nephews and one niece have such interesting coloring: two are blue-eyed blondes, one has brown eyes and auburn hair, and one has Titian (red/gold) hair and bright green eyes. What an interesting mixture for one family.
My husband and I have 4 kids. He's blue eyed with almost black hair. I'm blue eyed, brown haired. My kids are brown/auburn haired and dark brown eyed, light brown haired green eyes, dark brown hair light brown eyes, very blonde with bright blue eyes. Genetics are much more complex than we're told in highschool
One of my siblings has brown eyes, the other has blue eyes, one parent had brown, the other had blue.....I always thought mine were just a messy mix of everything, now I realise Hazel isn't so bad.
I have hazel eyes, green with brown. My ancestors are from England, Ireland, Wales and Italy. Generations are Texans. My parents had brown eyes. Now I know what ‘hazel’ means.
Louisiana checking in. I have unique hazels. I have brown surrounding the pupil but from the middle outward to the edges, they are striations of green and blue and are constantly shifting colors.
I am a green hazel-eyed daughter of two blue eyed parents from Ireland, I have six siblings all with blue eyes (with a strong resemblance to my father!) I always thought of them as boring, what fun to discover this
@@Auntiehoney217 no that's high school genetics and it's incorrect. Eye colour is a lot more complex than just recessive and dominant genes. So though rare it is possible to have non- blue eyed children from blue eyed parents. I got this information from a geneticist btw.
My mom had green eyes. My husband and I have blue eyes and our daughter has hazel eyes but she has a blue ring around the outside. My side of the family is mostly European and Iberian. My husbands family is mostly European and a 1/4 American Indian. Its interesting how our background expresss itself through our daughter
Do you have hazel eyes? Please let me know your thoughts below... Thanks for watching!
If you know lRIDOLOGY (diagnosis by studying the iris) you know that hazel eyes are discoloured blue eyes. There are two natural healthy coloured irises - clear blue (including light grey & - rarely, green-blue) or clear brown. In the hazel-eyed person, the digestive tract (around the pupil in the iris map) could do with a detox.
I'm hazel. Appalachian Scot mostly.
@@hamishanderson6738 No. I don't know where you got any of this, but hazel is as genetic as brown and blue. I've got them and I've always got them.
That's like calling brown people "dirty and in need of washing."

Hazel eye from U.S. here. Hello fellow Hazels from around the world!🤗
I have hazel eyes also and I'm born and raised from Long Island.
I have green hazel eyes.
Aww thank u
Hey there
I hav'em Chicks dig'em
My wife has beautiful Hazel eyes that go from brownish to greenish to golden to almost electric green at times. It’s always been a sight to behold.
This comment is a sign of your love for her. 😍
Wonderful to be in love ❤
I have those same characteristics, but much older nowadays 😂
My son has these eyes ,just fabulous.
Thars how mine are, like a neon green with golden bursts, their pretty cool looking
👋🏼🙂 Hazel eyes here! They change with my mood and also with what I wear.
Same!
Same here 😊
Same especially bright orange for me
Same and as I age, they can also be an aqua-gray, depending on what I wear.
I didn’t know I had hazel eyes until a girl in college said that my green jacket brought out the green in my eyes. I was about 19 and until that time, I always thought I had brown eyes. I never looked close enough to my own eyes until then and realized I did indeed have hazel eyes. lol. Both of my daughters also have hazel eyes. They do seem to change colors at times.
I have hazel eyes that are green dominant. My husband always told me that I had the most beautiful eyes that he had ever seen. He was the most ❤beautiful man that I ever seen. I spent 32 years of my life with him. I love him, still. 😢
May he rest in peace.
It's good to hear people express that kind of sentiment, it's something that has become far to rare. Take care of yourselves.
Im sorry. Glad you have him in your love still. I married younger hazel eyed American military man. So beautiful to me. Especially his dark brows and lashes, brown hair with sun burned reddish color. And tan skin from being out in sun all the time. I don’t like him for that though. He is just very honest and loves me.
I have Hazel Eyes, i am from Turkey. my theory is that Hazel eyes are more frequent in populations who have mixed blue eyed and brown eyed people, as my grandfather has blue eyes and my grandmother has brown eyes, my father has hazel eyes and i got them too. both my father and i are also the only ones in the family possessing hazel eyes, the rest have brown and blue eyes.
Are there many Turks with Blue eyes?
I'm Hungarian and have reached the same conclusion. There are people in my family, both my grandfather's and my brother with blue eyes, quite many with hazel and amber eyes, and some with real brown eyes. That is the smallest percentage as most have a mixture of blue/brownish.
@@Occident. I think its about 5% of the turkish population with blue eyes, 8% green, 17% hazel and 70% brown.
My grandparents are all from northern Europe but some with blue and some with brown eyes. I have hazel eyes and so do my children.
You are right. My mother had deep blue eyes my father light brown. Mine were hazel. But late in life after 55 they started to look more brownish. Weird eyes grow darker while the hair goes lighter . Mine is almost white😊
I am a guy with hazel eyes. Today I wore a yellow hoodie and my eyes looked yellow and green. Lots of compliments.
Try orange, that makes them look more prominent too🤩👍
Hazel eyed American here. Mom had dark brown eyes and Dad has bright blue. I was born with Hazel. Interesting video. Welsh, French and Scandanavian descent.
Same here. I have Hazel eyes that are mostly a forrest green. Mom has brown eyes, dad has blue. I also have red hair. My mom is a brunette and my dad is blonde. Irish and Italian decent.
Me and my husband had blue eyes and we have a daughter with hazel green eyes. But I think she inherited her grandmother's eyes. My daughter has red hair too.
Mine too.❤
That's usually how they come about.
I have dark brown eyes and my dear husband has blue eyes but my daughter has hazel eyes 👀 Latin, Europe and Nordic ascendant ❤

Hi hun
Hello my hazel friends, I'm a Belgian 89 year old woman who received lots of compliments for those eyes when I was young, they are light brown with specks of yellow and green
They sound very pretty.
Agreed, as a young man, young women loved my eyes.
When I was in my 50s, I dated someone who was mesmerized by my hazel eyes. Nobody before that or since have mentioned my eye color. Ì didn't realize that only 5% have it.
i know that if i saw u now i'd compliment them,and i'm middle aged with hazel, and i'm red-green color-blind
I do have hazel eyes and had no idea how rare they are. Makes me feel kinda special ❤❤
Me too
And me ❤
And me😊
most likely not that rare with white people, maybe rare in the world though due to europeans being a global minority in the millions whilst africans indians, etc are in the billions each and so on
Me,too.
I have hazel eyes, the only one in my immediate family. Ancestral migration to Maine was via Canada, Yorkshire and several Viking lines. Several Irish grandmothers in the paternal line also.
Hazel eyes here! Yorkshire was my Mom's birthplace.
The whole of my family in England have blue eyes. I've got, I've just learned, hazel eyes. For decades we've described them as toad-green, and wondered which ancestor they came from. Grandma's family was Scottish, but they all had blue eyes. I love the toad-green colour of them, because they're able to go lighter green when I'm happy in the summer and mouldy/earthy-green in the winter 🤣🤣
Well, I'm 63 and I've never known how to describe my eye colour... till today! I have the hazel sunburst centre, green above and blue/grey beneath. I always thought my eyes were just a confusing mess, now I know that this glorious variety of the spectrum is called hazel, and only 5% of the world have It.
Whoopeee!🎉
It's the most beautiful eye color by far, and is what drew me to my husband! ❤❤❤
Same here…at 73 yrs old I finally learned I have hazel eyes….
Hazel is green and brown. It sounds like you have part Hazel eyes.
Agree! I was told by my family that I have brown eyes. Yet, growing up I would notice that some days they looked green - other times green with a blue tint. I think either my family did not know about the hazel color - or they were jealous. :-) I recently realized that they ARE hazel - and started changing my driver's license information. I am 70+ years old. lol!
Same with mine,like you described.
Hazel eyes are the most beautiful eyes in the world!
As one with shit brown eyes I agree with you. Both my parents had hazel eyes and my sister ended up with Blue and I shit brown.
@@M.SforzaNooo. I have hazel eyes but I love brown eyes!!
Brown and/ or Blue, are beautiful
Guy's and Girl's. I believe so 🙂
Truth
Yes, I have them. And when I married my fiancée Hazel, I told her that I've always had Hazel in my eyes . . .
Aww 🥰
Cringe
haha
Haha…very cute 🥰
Smooth ❤️
I have hazel eyes that lean heavily blue. The center is a deeper green, but the outer edge is more blue/green. When the sky is really bright blue or I wear lighter blue colors, they can look quite blue. Other times, there are gold flecks that pop-up and they look more green. I love my eyes!
My mother's eyes are like that! And the older she gets her eyes seem to be getting bluer (she's in her late 80's). I have hazel eyes with a brown center and green edge.
My eyes are hazel, and it is funny to hear people try and describe them. It's either green or brown, hazel isn't a word in their ocular vocabulary. The best thing about hazel eyes is that our eyes can seem to change color, it really confuses people. For example, when I got my first driver's license hazel wasn't an option in the system so they listed me as brown. A while later when I showed my license they thought my ID was fake cause my eye color was off, they said I had green eyes and wanted to know if I wore contacts.
I’ve had my eyes prosaically described as green surrounded by the color of shit. Now who was that?
I went through the same, each time I need to renew my passport I state that my eye color is hazel but they either write brown or green because they think they know better than I do what my eye color is. Ridiculous!
I gave in and went with brown. It's easier for everyone. Really there's orange, then a ring of green then a ring of black round the outside.
I like reading about ppl’s color of eyes, strangely.☺️ My boyfriend has hazel 👀 and they change color depending on the color of whatever shirt he’s wearing. His gaze can melt me, beautiful eyes❣️
Ha ha me too and almost same situation, then someone will say they're not green you're lying, no not lying just dumbfounded at describing my eye colour!
I have Hazel Eyes,
In the US Appalachian region, my primary ancestry is Scottish, Fifth Generation on my Mom's side.
My Dad's side is Mulungeon, a mixed ethnicity native to the Appalachians; composed of Cherokee, Choctaw, British, Portuguese, possibly Turkish, and African ethnicities. My Dad's family has lived in the Appalachians for 400 years.
That’s a really cool heritage!
You might me interested in some fantasy books written by Alex Bledsoe. The setting is in a place like Appalachia and the first book is called the hum and the shiver. About a musically magical group of people who were the first people there. An easy read and felt good. Wish it had a musical sound track to go with it.
Hello, cousin. 🙂 I have noticed that we Appalachians have a high frequency of the hazel eyes. The Appalachian Mountains, Atlas Mountains, Scottish Highlands and Scandinavian Mountains were all once part of the same mountain range.
@@adriennelaf5083 Neat 😃
@@galadrielwoods2332 That's right 🙂
I have hazel eyes and love wearing green as it brings out the green in my eyes. I didn't know we were such a rare breed 🥳
I have hazel eyes. My house is painted green and I wear green often. I love green. My father's DNA was traced back to Mongolia many years ago. His very dark skinned mother had DNA with origins from Nepal and she married a blue eyed English man. My father's eyes were dark brown. My mother had very blue eyes and her ancestry was Welsh, Irish and Scottish. Two of their five children have hazel eyes. My child has hazel eyes. How lucky we are to be so unique. I am the whitest skinned of the five children but I have the very dark brows and lashes of my father. In my youth I had very wavy auburn hair similar to my father.
me too! My eyes look green if I wear green. They are green/brown
@@goldkhw My eyes are hazel & my ancestry is Celtic (Irish, Scottish & Welsh) & Scandinavian. (UK)
Try purple if it's in your color palette. My eyes are olive green (technically hazel), and I always wear a deep purple shadow stick on my eyelids, which really makes the green pop. I also have some deep purple and lavender tops that do the same. However, a big chunk of my wardrobe is olive green (and I love chartreuse), but I also have olive skin and fall coloring, so it's just flattering all around.
@@oceans.and.deserts Mauve is perfection on me. It may be because of the white skin PLUS the hazel eyes. I wear purple everything. Even have my shoes dyed purple, and purple shadow stick. It's strange how every shade of purple works. It's absolutely beautiful. I wear a mauve cream color corrector under my make-up. It just works.
I have hazel eyes...sometimes green, sometimes more brown. As a toddler my mother said my eyes would turn dark grey before it rained.
I'm of Polish/Yugoslavian & Scandanavian background.
I'm 65 and always thought my eye colour was boring. So happy to come across this video. I now feel very differently about my eyes. Now if only they were bigger. 😊
Sounds like me. I think mine are boring too. lol
I can relate, mine are very small🙂
My eyes are a beautiful hazel color but small so people don’t notice.

Green / Hazel eyes here. I'm told they change color in light and with the color of my clothing as well as my emotions ~
Yes, mood eyes lol
Yes, mine are the same
Same. They also are greener when I cry

Same. Mood for sure and light

Thank You..Timely.. Blessings 🍀🍀🍀
I grew up thinking my eyes were sort of a lighter cinnamon brown; in adulthood, my sister told me my eyes are more amber-hazel. I looked closer at my eyes in different lights... and she's right! A unique and pretty range of colors.
It's weird, but I've encountered a lot of people who did not know they had hazel eyes until someone pointed it out.
@bigred9428 Really? That's pretty interesting! You know, there is a commenter here that mentioned the idea of having one parent with blue eyes, and the other with brown possibly having a higher incidence of a hazel eyed offspring. That's something I never thought about; I had one blue-eyed and one brown-eyed parent! Fascinating.
@@bigred9428ones like mine- brown n green, just look brown from several feet away.
Owner of a pair of Hazel colored eyes, and of northern European descent. My eyes do shift from more green to more golden depending on the light and color of clothing. Loved the video, thanks!
The same. I love to make it change with make up. Sometimes gold, or purple, or brown… very funny and surprising. 🤩
When I was in middle school a group of girls got in trouble for making a "Book of Bests". In essence a book that rated people and their features in our classes. I found out I won "Prettiest Eyes". I have Hazel green eyes, which often look pure green when the sun hits them. I didn't realize they were rare. Not that it really matters but it's interesting. Thanks for the vid buddy.
I have green, gold hazel eyes. I am from the USA, Southern California. My parents had blue eyes. My ancestry is primarily English, Welsh, German, and Irish. My sister has blue eyes. I'm not sure who else in my family had hazel eyes. Maybe my maternal grandmother. She would have been primarily Irish and German, I believe. My immediate family members all have brunet hair color, with the exception of my daughter. She is blond. My daughter has gold, blue, green hazel eyes. Her daddy had ocean green, blue, and gold eyes and blond hair. He was born in the USA and had basically the same ancestry but with some Scandinavian and a tiny amount of Native American. My daughter's eyes definitely change color depending on lighting, the color of clothing she is wearing, and possibly her mood. Mine as well. At times, my daughter's eyes can look golden/khaki. She is my pride and joy 😊
Hazel/Green here. I have received many compliments over the decades on my eyes. They are mostly green with a brown starburst around the pupil and a blue/grey outer ring.
I'm the same with the outer grey ring.
Nice to read your comments as I am the same. I wonder if our outer grey-blue ring is unusual with hazel eyes.
@@tammyjoma I was in my car on a sunny day and happened to glance in the visor mirror and got a good look at my eyes as illuminated by sunlight and thought, “My eyes are tricolored-brown, green and blue/grey.
Hey, @@archangel1527, I'm glad you were able to get a good look at them and notice that! :) Me, too.

I have 4 children. My husband and I have blue eyes. My oldest child has dark brown eyes, 2nd has green eyes, 3rd light brown eyes, 4th bright blue eyes. Go figures genetics are weird and much more complex than highschool suggests.
@@lauradon8603It’s genetically impossible for a child to have brown eyes if both of their parents have blue or green eyes. Blue and green are recessive genes, meaning both parents need to pass this gene on in order for it to be the visible trait. If someone has brown eyes they only have to have one parent pass this gene on because it is a dominant gene. So, the man you are claiming to be the dad, ain’t the dad because someone passed that brown gene on and it obviously wasn’t you.
@@n.d.4192 she is Caucasian
Thank-you for this program! I am from America and I have hazel eyes, but I never liked the color. I always thought of them as being indecisive; they couldn't decide what color to be! 😊 Whatever color clothes I wore, changed the perception of my eye color. This program helped me appreciate there is beauty in the hazel color.
Same here! Always thought of hazel eyes were the least desirable. I have them and always wished I could have any colour ,brown ,blue any distinctive color.
I feel the same way
Always thought that they were just ordinary
U.S.A. Female here. I’ve got hazel eyes too. Italian on my father’s side, French and Native American on my mother’s side. Throughout the years, I’ve had photographers tell me I have beautiful eyes. From the center, there is a burst of golden brown blending into yellowish green, transitioning into grayish blue, ending with a darker blue rim on the outside. When I cry, the colors appear to deepen, or they seem to shift hues. It is pretty cool!
Same here 😮😊❗👋
I have Hazel eyes... I am from Canada 🇨🇦 I noticed that my eye color changes with my mood. When I am upset they turn more greenish, as when I am joyful they are more gold. I do agree there are Spiritual aspects related to eye color, being the eyes are a mirror to the Soul 🦋
Me to they change color
* cries in boring brown eyes *
My eye color changes due to the amount of light. The emerald green outer ring & the gold color right around the pupil always stay the same. The area of pale green color between the 2 shrinks or widens depending on the size of my pupil. In bright light when my pupil is tiny they appear lighter green. When there's less light & my pupil is bigger they look more gold.
My hazel eyes change with my moods.😅
Fellow hazel-eyed Canuck here. My daughter has the same colour of eyes as I do, and hers change the same ways as mine. It's kind of freaky. My husband's eyes are a very very pale blue, almost colourless, and my son is the odd one out with brown eyes. We have no idea where they come from, as my family all have hazel eyes too, and hubby's family have blue. Tho there's a few suspects, pending genetic heritage testing to verify (Italian in hubby's case, and Canadian First Nations in mine...).
I have one hazel eye, predominately green with some gold around the iris. My right eye is blue with green starburst around the iris.

My daughter calls her eye color 'hazel' but actually they are a blue green in color, and can vary color, depending upon what she is wearing, or the weather. Outdoors, if there is snow on the ground, her eyes are vividly blue. Sometimes they are very green. Our ancestry is British Isles and German.
I've noticed some people seem to use Hazel to describe a blue or grey mix. I think they're probably describing central heterochromia, but Hazel is a mix of green and brown.
mine are a greyish green with a small ring of hazel in centre (Yorkshire born )
Mine are blue, but I have a gold/hazel/green corona around the pupil that expands/contracts depending on the light. Very blue in blue sky/water, hazel/grey in Seattle rain.

It’s neat to find that changing color is common in hazel eyes. Also didn’t realize it was a more rare color. I have a bit of all colors in my eyes. And my daughter one time mentioned when she was older that my eyes too would change color
Hello, Spanish, Irish, Scottish here with hazel eyes (brown leaning). Parents had very dark brown eyes, as do my 4 siblings. Mine were a lighter brown that turned hazel when I was 19-2, love them.
Thank you SO much for the information, very interesting!
I have hazel eyes, mostly green, which I inherited from my father. Mother had brown eyes as did my sister. My father's family is from Germany, but I was only able to go back about 4 generations. My eyes are more sensitive to light than most people I know, and I developed cataracts earlier, as did my father. Very interesting video (and I'm very thankful for closed captions!).
Sixth generation Australian here, living right on top of the Tropic of Capricorn. I am of black Irish and Scots descent, with green dominant hazel eyes, as do most of my seven siblings. One brother has blue eyes.
also black Irish, in the US. hazel eyes started out as blue then turned hazel. this seems good but all the repair tissue on my body (scratches, cuts) came in white without much melanin so after about 50 my skin looks like mortadella. I have basal cell cancer that must get frozen off every 6 months, due to this genetic situation. Also, on my father's side (Irish, dutch, French) he has had all manner of eye maladies: wet eye, dry eye, macular degeneration, basal cell cancer. Keep a look out for those in the event your condition is similar.
I’m also Irish. Born and bred on the island of Ireland and the first time I heard of Black Irish was when an Australian who I meet in France described me as such. My sister’s daughter had a dna test done and was disappointed to learn she was 99% indigenous Irish. I have had Pakistani and Indian people ask me which family and place in Pakistan and India do I come from. 🤣
@@Oluinneachain Why would she be disappointed ? Should be proud.
@@redrumrabbit she has dark brown eyes , sallow skin and as she doesn’t fit the stereotypical image of what native Irish people look like, she was hoping to find some “foreign “ heritage that would explain that. Romantic exoticism. But the DNA demonstrates that, especially in Cork and Kerry, the legacy of the Anatolian farmers maintains.
@@Oluinneachain my understanding is that the term, Black Irish, refers to folks with some Spanish descent. This carries genes from North African invaders. My Mother tans easily, so perhaps there’s some truth in this theory. Anyway, I’m told Great Uncle Mick Gallagher was a docker, who declared, “You’re Black Irish, and don’t forget it!”
My son was born with light brown hair and tootsie roll dark eyes. By time he was 5, his hair got darker, and his eyes lighter. By 16, he had black hair and my green based hazel eyes. Beautiful combimation.
I had never heard of this till my daughter! Her eyes were dark brown as a kid but became lighter and lighter and are hazel green. Very cool to hear of some one else with this experience as it comes from husbands side!
Mine changed a lot also.
I had strawberry blond hair and blue eyes as a baby. The older I got the darker my hair got. My eyes are crazy. Blue ring on the outer and the inner has grey/brown with flakes of gold. So I never know what to check. Coworker asked me one day. I was like. I have no idea. I said really look at them. She is like those are crazy colors. I got the left overs.
@@ceceliagettemy2906 I had dark brown eyes when I was young, but sometime in the past 10 years they lightened up and began to turn a green-brown. Yep, my daddy had hazel eyes.
@@kristinakilby6798my eyes are the same. Changes depends upon color of clothing and much greener if I cry.
Hazel eyes here, too. My mom had blue eyes, My dad's are brown. Mine are a brown ring around the center and the rest is green. Thanks for the video!
I have Hazel Eyes, I am half Irish and half Native American Indian, 😊 I live in the United States of America, New Jersey, Jersey City
Hello cousin! Fellow mixed native American here with Hazel eyes.
@@kirvu9677Same here
I'm also half Irish and half Native American, Crow tribe and my eyes are hazel. I like that my eyes will change color according to my emotions and the light. Nobody in my immediate family has them. I don't wear makeup very often but when I do it's fun to play up the different colors with eye shadow. Thanks for the video!
@@Moonlightpuppeteer
My name is: Maryellen
I am half Irish, and half Native American Indian, my tribe is Cherokee from North Carolina, nice meeting you on RUclips
Irish, english, scottish, germatic, Scandinavian, and Cherokee.
Was born with dark brown eyes. They apparently changed after being stationed at Fort Bliss texas. Did know they would change color depending on mood until at a dance club in Germany with black lights and wearing a white shirt. They would glow bright green. mostly hazel now
My left handed, unfreckled, ginger daughter has hazel eyes. She is a genetic wonder! The product of a blond and brunette (both right handed), she is a middle child with an older blond and younger brunet brother! She can also see more colors and taste more flavors than the rest of us. I believe that she is more angel than human! ❤
My kids were born with strawberry blonde hair!!! Two of them have hazel eyes and one has blue eyes!!
What a wonderful description of your daughter. You are clearly a loving father.
Happy Father’s Day❣️
😂😂😂🙄
A lot of Hazel eyed people are RH negative blood types. Look into it. Spain and nortwest africa have some of the highest RH negative populations in the world.
It’s possible!!
Hi! I have Hazel eyes with the Hazel burst and mossy green surrounding. My Mother has extremely dark brown eyes and my Dad has vivid blue like the color of the Mediterranean Sea. I am a blend of Scottish/ Spanish and Native American. Thank you for this informative video!
I have the brown sunburst also as fir the rest of my eyeballs never figured it out... at 63 no matter how I scrutinise them in the mirror can neither call it blue green grey its like a mosaic of all three.
I always got compliments on my “I could never tell what color” eyes and could never figure out why. Thanks! Fun info and comments.
My mother was Italian and my father was Scottish, Irish, Welsh, English and Dutch/German. He had blue eyes that sometimes looked green. I have green hazel eyes, as I've gotten older they have become greener. My daughter has more brown hazel, her daughter started out very blue but now has very pale yellow(almost white) not gold) rays coming out from the pupils. Very beautiful. New baby has dark green almost teal green but no brown or gold. Their Dad has darker blue eyes that sometimes look green. So we will be watching to see how they change.
Green eyes stay the same from birth.
@@andreafong9952 Yes, true green eyes, but my hazel eyes have possibly lost melanin with age, scientifically I don't know why, but the green in my hazel eyes are now the predominant color rather than the golden brown.
@@adriennelaf5083Yes I think that happens but maybe someone knows for sure. Brown eyes tend to get darker based on my children’s eyes.
@@adriennelaf5083I have had the same experience, I’m 50 and the brown ring around my pupil is much smaller than it was when I was younger. Neither of my parents nor any of my four siblings have hazel eyes 🤷♀️
I looked it up and the science says some eyes get lighter with age due to loss of melanin. My Dad's blue geen eyes got lighter as well.
My friend who has very interesting Hazel eyes has streaks of red in her iris. I've never seen any eyes like this. It's beautiful.
The red in her eyes is from pheomelanin which is the same type for red hair
I had a friend with green eyes that had like little streaks of orange. No joke! Very interesting and cool!
My hazel eyes have that too.
My father had such eyes. I thought he was he only one!
Yes my uncle has crazy hazel eyes that are like dark olive green with red stripes on the Iris
Hazel eyes here, from US. Dad (from Cuba) had green/hazel eyes, his mom (my grandma) was a Spaniard with green eyes
I have Hazel eyes. One is more brown around the pupil and one is green. Trippy✌🏻
I had brown eyes up until I was around 11. Then over the summer, my eyes turned green. My immediate family didn't even notice when I went back to school in September one of my teachers noticed over the next year they changed again and became Hazel and that's what they still are
same here
Similar here, just skipped the green era
I had dark brown eyes until I was 12/13 then went to hazel without going green...but they go from hazel to green mixed and light brown and green with a smattering of gold. No one else in my family has hazel eyes... I am unique 😊!
I had blue eyes until junior high. Nobody noticed the change until I went back to school after summer break and people asked me if I was wearing contacts. I call them silver and gold. Gold near the iris and silver around the outside.
My eyes seem to shift color with the light. Brown to green to amber depending on light and who's looking.
I feel like mine showed up brown/amber in photos up til about peuberty- maybe 10 or 11, 12 at most but they shifted to be the green with orange sort of hazel. Now I'm older, just turned 40 and they're mainly a honey middle with a green/grey outter ring. Pretty neat to know lots of us had this happen!
Awe - Always thought my hazel eyes were boring until now. Thanks!
Lol me too
Me too. I see now I am more rare then I thought. I'm in the USA Kansas I have native American blood plus Romanian blood in me. My mom and dad had blue eyes. I'm the ONLY one in all my family that has Hazel/green eyes.
Me too.
Really? I always loved mine for their uniqueness - I'm one of 6 with 12 nieces and nephews, everyone in my family is blue eyed except one grandma who had brown.
I have hazel eyes, and neither of my parents nor my sister have had. My father had brown eyes, my mother had blue/grey eyes, and my sister has brown eyes. None of my ancestors, at least for a thousand years, came from the Iberian peninsula, North Africa, nor the Middle East, though I was born and raised in California, which is at a similar latitude. When I was young (I'm now 75) my eyes looked brown except in strong light when the green was visible. Over the years my eyes have become lighter to where now they look hazel even in low light conditions. For what it's worth, my skin tone is very pale but, before I went grey, my hair was a very dark brown, so the distribution of melanin is uneven.
Both my half sister (my father's side) and I have hazel eyes from our father. My father's recent heritage is German and Norwegian. We are all light skin, dark brown curly to wavy thick hair. I didn't know about the term hazel eyes, and it seemed no one else was familiar with the term, because when I gave description of brown/green eye color on forms, l would just get assigned one color or the other, more often brown because the green is a dark green. My eye color is about 50/50. I would not be surprised if many people with hazel eyes were incorrectly documented over the years by busy workers who didn't care and just wanted to get their paperwork done. So good luck figuring out the statistics of eye color.
I'm 52 and today years old when I found out I have hazel eyes. So thanks for that. I feel special now.
I knew they were lighter than brown but nowhere as light a green or amber (which is what I thought hazel was). I think there's a lot more hazel eyed people around but we report them as brown on our legal documents. I can understand how people in vastly brown eyed countries would report theirs as different and mark them as hazel. Mine are swampy green, with rust center sunflowers, and gold ribbons.
There isnt just one shade to brown eyes. Brown eyes range from light brown to really dark near black like some Asian and Sub Saharan people have. Cant even differentiate the iris from the pupil. Mine are brown but when i look in the mirror i can the pattern in my iris and theres a darker ring around the outside perimeter of my iris.
But yeah i get what you mean, my ex has hazzel eyes, she reckons she has brown eyes, i thought she did too until obe day she sent me a closeup photo of her eye and her eyes are actually a blend of brown and dark green.
Hello! We’re the same age, and same eye colour. 🎉
54 and have never seen a form with an appropriate box for my eye color...i honestly dont think green/brown hazel is that uncommon a color...its just not well documented,or more precisely it's constantly misdocumented..hazel is not a color,it's rarely on any forms or an accepted answer...and you have to choose one..but if you look,tons of people have it..but are saying they have brown or green,i've done it myself...actual full green is way less common in my experience,as is blue for that matter..but I guess that might depend on your local populations genetics
@CrashAndBurnProductions My brother has pure green eyes. I'm Spaniard. Half my family, , (aunties, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews) have either blue eyes or green. My father had amber eyes. So does my other brother.
I have Hazel Eyes and I'm from the UK. I love my eye colour because this time of year in the bright light of the sun they look more green.
Mine do too! Very bright green in the sun.
And if I wear a green shirt, hat or scarf the green in my eyes pops! Sometimes I also wear a purple eyeliner- makes the green standout!
I'm from Wales and I have hazel eyes that change colour too. When I was born I had blue eyes but after having meningitis at the age of six months my eyes changed colour.
Hazel eyes here. I am South African
Yes they do change according to what I wear and lighting.
Thanks for video - also, you have a wonderful accent.
Hazel green eyes here.
From US North Carolina. Have Native American roots and others as well. Always have people commenting on them!!
Glad to be part of the 5%‼️

Hello cousins! Haida and Tlingit from my grandfather's side and Apache, Cherokee, Choctaw and Blackfoot on my grandmother's. Hope you all are all well!
If I wasn't here for the content, it would definitely be for this beautiful Scottish accent of yours. I know someone whose eyes change colours with lighting, health and mood. It's so interesting.
Mine are hazel, I usually get people saying they are green or brown, but depending on lighting I get people saying they are blue on occasion, and sometimes they turn grey in photos.
Hazel eye here too! Born in SouthAfrica , mine leans to golden green brown with darker freckles. Changes colour depending on mood and clothes.
Green hazel eye gang
YES!! Mine appear green with yellow or gold around the pupil. How about you?
My daughter has green with gold flecks: her father had hazel with green flecking. Beautiful!
hazel green eyes with golden flecks that definitely appear to shift hues at times ~ both my parents have blue: dad's background's irish & welsh, mom's is irish & scottish - but my grams always asserted *not* scotch irish
Okay you can't leave me hanging. What did grams mean? What's the difference between scots irish and irish & scottish?
@@evanunez8833 scotch irish is an american term that originally refered to ulster scots who immigrated after they, although oppressed in their own right, helped colonize norn iron at the expensive of native irish folks
as my grams irish family came over on coffin ships during an gorta mor aka the great hunger aka the attempted genocide whitewashed & misrepresented as "the potato famine" they weren't too keen on ulster scots
my grams scottish family had also come over on coffin ships during the highland clearances so understandably didn't like being confused with the lowlanders who conspired with their enemies
so basically both sides of her family had suffered horribly partly due to the actions of ulster scots therefore it was important to all of her family they not be mixed up with the ulster scots/scotch irish despite most americans not really getting how or why they were distinct
i'm just an american mutt but out of respect for my late gram's insistence i always note it, lol. though i also tend to not get on the best with unionists 😬 but the craic's usually 90 with irish republicans & those who identify as norn irish
I have hazel. Dad is blue-eyed dutch, , mom's Indonesian background is actually predominantly Indian according to dna tests that a couple family members on her side took.
very interesting--thank you for posting!! i've often wondered about my brown-centered hazel eyes--very unusual in my family.
My older sister and I (my sister passed (R I P)) have hazel eyes. I remember her eyes usually looking kinda brown and mine looking green. As I got older, I kept being told by women about my beautiful blue eyes. It always seemed weird, cause I was used to seeing myself as green eyed. But, it did seem to change growing up and I admit if the light is from the right angle and bright (like sunlight) my eyes do look bright blue.
Funny how that works! I never realised hazel was an option until today and I'm surprised by the similarities people around the world are experiencing about this (my) eye colour. I too have always been complimented about my big blue eyes but they're grey / green with brown around the pupil 😂
Hazel eyes here. Mom had the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen, dad's were practically black. I have what I call mood eyes. More green or brown depending on the day and what color top I'm wearing.
My Dad had those black eyes! Technically Hazel but the rest of us were much lighter. My brother was almost blue with a black speck.
Same here 😊
I didn't know there was a thing called mood eyes
Yep - I have hazel eyes and thank you for confirming this for me. My heritage is Scottish/Irish primarily.
Hazel eyes- US, Colorado. Mine change, depending on what I wear, either greener or goldy/browner. Enjoyed your video!
Hazel eyes here from the Philippines, but with Filipino, Spanish, Norwegian and Chinese ancestry. Mostly brown for me and my mother, but my cousin who is half Australian has mostly green Hazel eyes that always change colour and are amazing to look at.
I am an American with 100% Norwegian heritage. My mother had green eyes. My father had blue eyes. My brother has blue eyes. I have hazel eyes. My eyes have an outer ring of dark blue. The next area is sage green. Then the inside area is golden. There are also small flecks of burgundy scattered around. The green and golden areas are about even now.
Hello all you brothers and sisters of Hazel eyes! I'm another one! My father had Hazel eyes, my mother and brother had blue. Glad I have Dad's eyes. I have a very European DNA with Ireland, Scotland, Wales, French, Denmark and Sweden thrown in for good measure. Cherri.

Hazel eyes from High Springs, Florida, USA Very interesting information! Thanks 🙏 for sharing. HAPPY BLESSED NEW YEAR! 🎆🎉🎆
Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year :)
I have green hazel eyes. I was born in Canada from Northern Italian parents. Very interesting video, thank you.
As a kid I had to take a train to school every day, and there was this boy (from another town) with eyes just like mine. Hazel Eyes. Which I thought odd.
My Mom had them and my brother also but noone else in the family and noone else I knew.
So when my grandmother told me that one of her sisters (she had 8 of them) grandsons took this train to town, also, I knew right away which one of those boys was related to me. And sure enough, upon asking him, it turned out to be so.
I'm 72 now and I kind of was aware that eyes like mine were not common, but I had no idea they were this rare! Kinda' cool really. Thanks for the Video.
A train to school? 🤯
My father had Hazel eyes. His mother had brown eyes and she was of Anglo/Irish background. His father was of German/Danish and English background and had blue eyes. They were both Australian born.
I'm beginning to think that sometimes mixing the brown and the blue genes create the hazel. That seemed to happen in many families, including my own.
I’m Japanese who has light brown eyes. My husband has blue eyes and two of our kids have hazel eyes since they were 4. And the third one is getting a bit of green so can’t wait to see this summer.
I always assumed mine were in the brown category. Mine are a darkish olive green with brown just in the centres. I didn't think they were light enough to be considered hazel! Very interesting! :)
I have hazel eyes. My dad was a blue eyed redhead (carrot top) and my mum brown eyed with dark brown hair. I was born in southern England. I have lived in subtropical Australia now for nearly 60 years and my eyes have changed colour at different times in my life. They were brown/green growing up but now they are more bluish. At one time they were mostly brown. I have always felt special having hazel eyes. Thanks for this information.
Hazel eyed woman here! My eye color is a great feature! Yet, I didn't always think this... Salute to you all! ♥️🎻😎
Same here!
Interesting upload. I'm English mostly with some Germanic and scots ancestry and have hazel eyes. Happy Hogmanay !
I have hazel eyes. One of my children has hazel eyes. My father had hazel eyes when I was young but his eyes have changed color. My dad is in his 80's, he's very healthy and physically fit. His eyes have slowly changed color and are now very light translucent grey blue. Our ancestry is predominately British/Scottish.
I’ve also had my eyes change color over the years. Until a few years ago I had very dark brown eyes. People have asked if I was wearing colored contacts because they were so dark. About six or seven years ago I noticed that the color was lighter and it has continued to change until today I have a light hazel color that will appear to lean towards blue depending on the color of the blouse I’m wearing.
My father's eye color changed from brown to blue.
Our family also came from Ireland(mostly). We have a lot of hazels, but more interesting is alot of aqua blue/Grey eyes. I see this in a few other families in our village and almost nowhere else. Very unusual for me to ever see that color eye anywhere else.
Is this an Irish trait?
Your eyes do lose pigment as you age.
Very interesting! I have Hazel Eyes and from Australia…my mother is Spanish. Mine are multi coloured green with gold flecks that change colour with the weather.
Ever since childhood I was told that my eyes are yellow like a lions eyes… but maybe they are in fact hazel? Looking very closely they are a pale green in the background with golden/amber specks fanning out from the pupil. The iris has a teal coloured ring around it. I never saw anybody else with my eyecolour. My father had pale green/grey eyes, my mother hazel. Interesting story my father told: hush-hush tales of “a spanish soldier and a girl in the family” in 1808 or so.. the wars with Napoleon. I have no evidense, but my fathers mother had dark brown eyes an jet black hair, and more family members with very dark eyes and hair. I am from Denmark where blue eyes are the most common. Thank you for very interesting information😃
I once had a friend with this yellow apearing eyes, I never forgot these eyes. It is 40 years ago. Just love it because it is so very rare and very special.
That’s interesting as my father was told he had the eyes of a lion. My mother had hazel eyes and mine are blue.
My eyes are pretty close to yours, but maybe a little darker. I also have a teal ring around the outside, with orange ring inside next to the pupil and green/brown inbetween with gold flecks. Often people perceive them as light brown, until the light hits and they’re like “oh wait, that’s not brown!” 😂

Thanks
I have hazel eyes! Lots Scottish/english, mine look almost like there is a dark blue circle around the greenish with specks leading into the more brownish starburst center
Me, too! Exactly!
Me too exactly the same
I have hazel eyes, mostly amber with some green. I also have a ring around the outer edge that can appear grey or brown under various conditions. On the rare occasions that I wear makeup, I tend to wear a green eyeshadow to bring out the greens. Also, I have a mix of Celtic (Scots), French, and English backgrounds.
I may have mentioned this in one of your other eye color videos, but I do have the dual color form of hazel eyes, with a brown ring in the middle and a dark jade green on the outside, though it is not very obvious except under bright lighting conditions. I imagine most people who note such things probably think they are are brown on casual inspection.
Amazing. That's exactly how mine are
Wierd question here.
I have hazel, my husband has blue. I am sensitive to light and can see in very low dim light, he cannot. He turns lights on 1st thing upon waking and I have to shield my eyes. Does this have anything to do with eye color or is it just me?
My eyes have gold around the iris then light green and a darker green rim. I have only seen two other people with my exact eye color. One was a girl on the cover of National Geographic and the other on a box of hair dye. Both were very beautiful. I have been told many times how striking my eyes are. I feel blessed to have them.
Mine are the same … 💕💕💕
My husband has
We are 4 generations of hazel eyes as i know of but our family has been from norway for hundreds of years. This is interesting😊
I was born with dark brown eyes that lightened as I got older to Hazel. My eyes go more yellow if I am sick, they can go muddy green and once I was told they had never seen sunflower yellow eyes. This was the year I had a toxic gallbladder which was perforated and no one caught it until I got so sick I could not keep water down. Survived the long ambulance drive to a larger hospital and emergency surgery. My gallbladder is now kept for teaching purposes because the odds of surviving a poisoning the system for so long and surviving it was rare I was told. I was even taking belly dancing at the time, so why it did not burst is an interesting question. My eye color was how my mother gauged my health and moods.
hi I am American indian, cherokee and Scots irish...my eyes turn yellow when I am sick....as do most of my family.here in apppalachia hazel eyes are a sigh of American naive mixture..

Clyde , interesting because my birth father is French from Quebec , on my birth info. Whether my birth mother lied or not is up for debate. My half sister asked her if the father informations of the 6 children were true. She said don’t remember. I thought I was just a weird child and my mom could read my thoughts. Glad I am not so weird.
I have hazel eyes, of the greenish variety! And they do change slightly. I am of French and Anglo-Norman descent, if that helps at all. Fascinating work, well done you!
My three nephews and one niece have such interesting coloring: two are blue-eyed blondes, one has brown eyes and auburn hair, and one has Titian (red/gold) hair and bright green eyes. What an interesting mixture for one family.
My husband and I have 4 kids. He's blue eyed with almost black hair. I'm blue eyed, brown haired. My kids are brown/auburn haired and dark brown eyed, light brown haired green eyes, dark brown hair light brown eyes, very blonde with bright blue eyes. Genetics are much more complex than we're told in highschool
@@lauradon8603 What color eyes did the milkman have? 😄 Kidding!
One of my siblings has brown eyes, the other has blue eyes, one parent had brown, the other had blue.....I always thought mine were just a messy mix of everything, now I realise Hazel isn't so bad.
I have hazel eyes, green with brown. My ancestors are from England, Ireland, Wales and Italy. Generations are Texans. My parents had brown eyes. Now I know what ‘hazel’ means.
Louisiana checking in. I have unique hazels. I have brown surrounding the pupil but from the middle outward to the edges, they are striations of green and blue and are constantly shifting colors.
I am a green hazel-eyed daughter of two blue eyed parents from Ireland, I have six siblings all with blue eyes (with a strong resemblance to my father!) I always thought of them as boring, what fun to discover this
I always thought 2 blue eyed parents always had blue eyed children. 🤔 maybe s secret there 🫢
@@Auntiehoney217 no that's high school genetics and it's incorrect. Eye colour is a lot more complex than just recessive and dominant genes. So though rare it is possible to have non- blue eyed children from blue eyed parents. I got this information from a geneticist btw.
My mom had green eyes. My husband and I have blue eyes and our daughter has hazel eyes but she has a blue ring around the outside. My side of the family is mostly European and Iberian.
