Would you call these eyes green?

I would call them "Hazel", same color as mine.
Hazel is a mix of brown and green. 😕
hazel is a mix of blue, brown and green.

I have hazel eyes. Mostly blue with green and brown near the pupil. My eyes change colour occasionally going from mostly blue to greenish brown. Kind of freaky.

Ditto. I'd go with hazel, too. They're not quite blue enough to be called blue - if that makes sense.

Not Hazel...that is a mix between green and brown.

Hazel

Some eye colors are too mixed to identify properly, and are misidentified as hazel for simplicity's sake.Hazel eyes are due to a combination of a Rayleigh scattering and a moderate amount of melanin in the iris' anterior border layer.

A number of studies using three-point scales have assigned "hazel" to be the medium-color between light brown and dark green.

This can sometimes produce a multicolored iris, i.e., an eye that is light brown near the pupil and charcoal or amber/dark green on the outer part of the iris (and vice versa) when it is open to the elements of the sun/shined in the sunlight.

Hazel is mostly found in some regions of the Americas and Europe.

Rarely, hazel eyes can be found in people with African, Middle Eastern and Asian descent.


This eye shows the shift in color from light brown to green.

There is some difficulty in defining the eye color "hazel" as it is sometimes considered to be synonymous with light-brown, gold, and other times with dark green.

Hazel eyes have been described as dark green or yellowish brown, or as a lighter shade of brown.

Hazel eyes have also been described as being equivalent to a dark green or amber color eyes/light brown.

In North America, "hazel" is often used to describe eyes that appear to change color, ranging from light brown to green and even gray, depending on current lighting in the environment

I wasn't talking about the pic in question.

I was describing my unusual eye colour.

I was just agreeing with your description of hazel and then explaining why I'd call those in question hazel, rather than blue. 🙂
