i swear in certain lights they are just brown/yellow but in other lights they look mossy/olive brown. unfortunately this is on my mind bc people told me it's hazel and then i started to analyze my eyes and i realized i cannot for the life of me find a name or an exact match for this color type/color combo. it's become a bit of an obsession. i dont know if im gaslighting myself into seeing the green or if it is a trick of the light or what. furthermore they do have amber i believe so perhaps it is simply the combination or transition that makes it have a greenish tinge bc i swear to god at times im like yes, they are right, there is green. but other times i only see brown/yellow and think it must have been an illusion. help!

i need help figuring out my eye color. many people have been telling me it is hazel but all my life i thought of them as brown. still do but nowadays i have to admit i don't often see this shade in others very often. trying to figure out if anyone can help me figure out the name of this shade, maybe the combination of colors if that's what it is, or the type of brown to call this. best guess it's either a combo of amber and brown, or it is an olivey brown hence the sometimes green tinge they take on. I've now become fixated on trying to name it simply because there isn't any label ive seen that describes it. in some instances it looks all brown and yellow, other times i swear i start to see a bit of green the way the hazel-sayers do. help a girl out

brown? amber + brown? olive brown? different people i met have been insisting for the past year that I have hazel eyes. i am not convinced but i have to admit that i have not seen my shade of brown anywhere else. is this a unique shade of brown or is there a name for it? or is this a combination of colors (my primary theory is that it's a combination of amber and brown and it makes it look olive somehow, hence the hazel comments). in some lights i do see a hint of green in an olivey brown sort of a way, but other times i just see shades of brown masquerading as green. please help a girl out bc now I'm invested in knowing if this is a common shade/combo of colors that is easy to name. it wasn't until people pointed it out that i realized it is kind of unique, or at least i dont often see other brown eyes like this.

i cannot for the life of me figure out what this color would be called, because my eyes look different from my other brown eyed friends but they are not quite hazel. best guess is olive brown, but is there a word for it? my friends who have green eyes will INSIST that i have hazel eyes but i can't quite agree. in some lights i see hints of green, and at other times i simply feel like it must be shades of brown and amber creating an illusion of an olivey tone. please help me! i am now fixated on labelling this shade or perhaps naming this shade of brown.
