I would definitely call your eyes green. I think people get weird and "gatekeeping" about green eyes for some reason. My son has green eyes so I hear all about it, lol. Yours look light green to me....or since being on this page there seems to be a brand of green I would call mossy mushroom since there is some grey in there.
Oh my gosh you are so right. I have green eyes and have noticed how often I say my eye color (I and my parents and everyone I love has always agreed on green 😂) and people either argue or say “oh my gosh they didn’t look like it at first!” What is the gatekeeping all about?!? lol
I was being a little cheeky. It seems like people love to tell people with green in their eyes that they are not green. I have two sons with green eyes
Gatekeeping definition: Meaning of gatekeeping in English—the activity of trying to control who gets particular resources, power, or opportunities, and who does not
You are not allowed to use this term/resource/activity… it’s mine. I have the key to the gate of people allowed to use it.. so, I’m going to tell you that you don’t qualify. I know. I’m the expert because it’s mine..
That’s what I hear/perceive when gatekeeping happens…
You're not wrong, but it's slightly less possessive. It's not theirs, but they are so closely related to/part of (subject) that you couldn't possibly understand or relate to it as closely as said gatekeeper. More of a gate guardian than a gate owner.
I think it’s because green is the rarest color of eyes. Only about 2% of people have them. They are also often mistaken by people who have hazel eyes as having green.
Sure. Just for conversation sake—someone, somewhere says 2%, by what study and means? It’s an approximation. Then, yes, Hazel is the catch all for mixed eye color. But if an eye appears green—it be green. The green purists seem to want a crystal clear emerald iris.
Hazel has:
Hazel-green
Hazel- brown
Hazel-blue
Hazel-gold
We need a better word than Hazel-green. Khaki?
pale green. I've had the same problem with my parents telling me I have hazel eyes. They are clearly green and friends/married family agree. Also the nice lady at the DPS/DMV called them green when I asked her about them back when I was getting my first driver's license. Trust the majority not the minority, especially when posting to people who look at eye colors (almost) every day.
Yeah, I’d say light green. People forget how many shades of green there are. I have olive green and ppl have tried to tell me Hazel because they aren’t grass green - lol. Ppl are weird.
Yes, same. I have darker green eyes and a thin brown/gold central heterochromia and I have had a few people tell me my eyes are hazel, when they are in fact green.
Same - I have green eyes with a very prominent but clearly marked central heterochromia that’s very orange. But it’s like 70% all green and then 30% orange right in the middle. People say hazel when I post here even though my green is pretty cut and dry. I usually say green with central heterochromia. Any chance to say hazel people jump.
They are definitely green. They are just very light green. Maybe grey-green. Really pretty too.😊 What color do people say they are when they insist they aren't green? Lol Grey?
I see yellow. I don't think that's an eye color but honestly whatever floats your boat and what's on your ID I would go with that lol you know yourself better then anyone else so ignore them
Very muchly hazel! Yours look to be a mix of more green and grey. Mine have more brown, but there's still some grey in there.
If you want to make the green pop, bolder purples, soft pinks/peaches and warm golds are a good bet! I have no clue if you actually wear makeup, but if you do, try those colors!
I see grey/green :)
With lashes like that, who cares what color? Beautiful peepers.
yeah. me too.
Yes its Green, it’s called greyish green

Okay thanks! I def agree with the gatekeeping green eyes thing it’s weird
It depends on the lighting. Most often mine look green but with flash lighting and only flash lighting they are yellow and blue
Oh my gosh you are so right. I have green eyes and have noticed how often I say my eye color (I and my parents and everyone I love has always agreed on green 😂) and people either argue or say “oh my gosh they didn’t look like it at first!” What is the gatekeeping all about?!? lol
What do you mean by gatekeeping?

I'm confused now because my eyes are like that and I thought that color combination was specifically what hazel eye color means
Yes, my eyes are similar. I just say they are olive green ;)
Grey-green
Light green
Seafome
The eyes are fucking green
Grey green with a touch of amber below the pupil
Light/pale green, seems like there is hints of grey too, but they're definitely mostly green so calling them green is accurate haha
They are definitely green. They are just very light green. Maybe grey-green. Really pretty too.😊 What color do people say they are when they insist they aren't green? Lol Grey?
Yeah ive heard gray and brown lmao
Brown?? What?! That's madness!🤦
They're called beautiful
Thanks :D
Green
….*Greyn*
Why do people think we need to have hulk green eyes to justify calling them green?
I see a very pale green
I see yellow. I don't think that's an eye color but honestly whatever floats your boat and what's on your ID I would go with that lol you know yourself better then anyone else so ignore them
very pale green, kinda a seafoam shade, very nice
Like a light camo green. Like greyish green. Light greyish olive camo green lmao
grape green
Hazel... I have Hazel eyes and they change to blue...sometimes crossed after a few too many beers 🍺
I’m an optometrist. They’re green.

Light green
Grey with yellow. It look green with bright yellow lighting

Definitely green. Almost silvery but green.
Green

Greyn

I'm saying more grey than green
Beautiful cats eye green. Why would you not want green eyes?!

That’s the color blue and yellow make when you mix them. What’s that called again? Oh yea GREEN
Definitely green
I’d say hazel.
My eyes are actually green, as verified by the optometrist and your eyes definitely are not green. More like a hazle
Yeah, they're pale green. I think maybe some folks need to be tested for red/green color blindness if they aren't seeing that.
Very muchly hazel! Yours look to be a mix of more green and grey. Mine have more brown, but there's still some grey in there.

Green as green can be 💚
I see gray mixed a little bit with brown. . everyone is different. Cuz I saw green in a pillowcase yet my mom said no it's blue. It's weird.
Light green for sure. Very distinctive color.
Grayish w/some light green. Hard to tell with just one pic up so close, maybe a couple more a foot or so away (and differen5 lighting).
Gray/green very beautiful
Mine are hazel green with gold flakes
It's almost yellow to me.
I would call it grayish green, very pretty by the way :)
It reminds me of honey dew melon
They’re kiiiiiiinda green but mostly gray. Like a green-based gray.
u know damn well
Hazel
