i have been told my eyes are blue but when i look in the mirror they look green
Eye color can sometimes appear different depending on lighting, clothing, and even your mood! The way light reflects off your eyes can change their appearance. If you have any hints of yellow or gold in your eyes, that can make them look greenish in certain conditions.
The same thing happens to me. I always had grey-green eyes but the older I became...people tell me blue-aqua but I see...grey-green in the mirror. I am 74 now.
If you live in Northern Ireland or Scotland and you dont have some shade of blue or grey eyes, you are the odd one out.
