The blue and brown are due mostly to melanin while the yellow is an entirely different pigment called lipochrome. People with green, hazel, amber and violet eyes are have lipochrome on top of the varying levels of the melanin that make blue and brown. whoa... there are ppl who have like naturally-violet eyes? I always wanted to have contacts that colour *lol* And respect for knowing so much about genetics as a hobby, I kinda always thought your job involved that area... One of my friends actually claimed that due to his blue eyes he can't take so much sunlight and that me having dark-brown eyes wouldn't understand. It's "funny" but whereas many ppl find light eyes beautiful, I always kind of associated 'weakness' w/ them. No offense... My mum said when I was baby I had violet eyes, but unfortunately as I got older they turned brown.. I want my violet eyes back

My eyes are a very dark brown but I can make them look lighter depending on the eye shadow that I'm wearing.

I have dark brown eyes, her father has brown eyes (we're also both Eurasian), and my daughter has blue eyes, which depending on the light ans what she's wearing can also be greenish or grey. Also, just curious, am I the only one who thinks my daughter looks EA? (No, for the record, I never miss an opportunity to show off my baby girl's pictures.)

Chlorine, your daughter is so precious! I'd say she looks 1/4 Asian. I'll join the masses and post my brown, slightly green-tinged eyes. Like many of you, they appear lighter dependingly on the lighting and what I'm wearing. I've also noticed they appear much lighter/greener when I've been crying. Anyone else notice this?

As SecretAsianMan says, there is no such thing as black eyes without contacts or a medical condition. There is also actually no such thing as true black hair either - it's just a very dark brown.

I have the same colour eyes as you Emily. And yes, my eyes look greener after I've been crying. Sometimes photos make my eyes look greener than they actually are too. My mother has dark brown eyes that look black so you can't distinguish between her pupils and her iris. My dad has grey/green eyes.

Thanks Emily, Catgirl, Helles. Most often, people think she's just "white", especially because of the blue eyes, although when she was younger, she looked a lot more Asian.
