a lot of stuff happened but i'm choosing to remember 2025 as the year i found out people with green eyes exist irl
couple things:
yes i spent my entire life until a few months ago assuming green eyes were an urban legend
"what about all the fictional characters with green eyes" thought it was a trope like with anime protagonists having naturally purple hair
i found out by watching Desperate Housewives (one of the actors has green eyes and it threw me off)
(i had never watched Desperate Housewives until that point bc i assumed it was reality tv, of the same genre as Real Housewives Of Metropolitan Areas franchise)
i still haven't seen green eyes irl, i am simply aware now that they actually exist
"have you really never met a person with green eyes." i didn't say that. it's possible I've met dozens. my autistic ass has spent decades elevating eye contact avoidance to a sublime art form.
did more research and now I'm sort of leaning back to my original stance that green eyes don't actually exist? people say "green" but all i'm seeing is eyes that are blue-and-brown. can i get some example photos so i know what we're talking about???
I assume this is what people think of when they imagine green eyes. Whether they look green or not is mostly a lighting thing from what I've seen. I have gray eyes that can look green in the right light.
Green eyes are also the rarest eye color period, so I don't actually blame you for not knowing they existed at all.
these are just blue with brown/yellow mixed in? i have those type of eyes, i assume they're pretty common. definitely less rare than people with 100% blue eyes with no mix-ins
blue with yellow mixed in
and what do you get when you mix blue and yellow
ok listen
Gaud
I think you might have green eyes
they're not green they are blue and yellow that's two different colors neither of those colors is green this is what im talking about people say "green eyes" and then it turns out they're just talking about eyes with multiple colors (blue, brown, yellow) none of which is actually green!!!!!!!!!
Idk what to tell you brother, my driver’s license says GRN.
Side note though, did not realize amber eyes were a thing until I met my cousin’s husband and my god.
When they moved to another state they had different regulations for what could be on your license and the gal at the DOL was like ‘oh, I’ll just change this to hazel :)’ and he was like ‘my eyes are not hazel. I would like you to look at my eyes.’ And she was like ‘huh. Yeah I’ll be damned. I still have no power to write the word Amber on here.’
In retrospect, his eyes are such a bright gold it’s possible he’s some sort of supernatural creature masquerading as a small-town priest, but that’s… probably not the case.
Probably.
