Most likely somewhere between D34 & D37.

Interesting though, when I was much younger (flaming redhead, by the way) my eyes would have probably been T17.

surrounded by green, with a thin bluish gray rim outlining the entire iris. Usually the brown is most noticeable, except in bright light when the pupils shrink.

Medium to dark ash brown hair before it turned gray.

...the eyes of babies and young children. When looking at a child, the white dot should show up symmetrically in the pupils. If the appearance is not symmetrical, the eyes are not tracking together and the baby needs to see a pediatric ophthalmologist to figure out why.

...the white dot. It's there pretty universally and we are so used to it we don't pay it much mind.

Some time ago, I saw a little visual experiment where 2 almost identical photos were shown to people. The only difference was one picture had the white dots and the other didn't. The participants were asked to pick which picture they liked better, and most picked the one with the white dots, saying it looked more natural.

My mother has blue eyes.


On edit:. Sorry. On reconsidering, I'm more of a T30.

I'm sort of a mix of D20 and D30. But none of the spikes or whatever they would be called. A smooth green, somewhat yellowish. Alas, not emerald green. My older sister had emerald green eyes.

Human eye colors are far more varied than that chart. Example, the Paul Newman blue isn't there.

My left eye has a reddish brown fleck in it, at about the 6 o'clock position, that is much the same color as my auburn hair. Both irises have a darker shade of green outlining the circumference.

I don't see much difference between D37 and D40.

Dark hair? I’m an A60/55 and I have dark brown hair. People sometimes comment because apparently they don’t expect to see blue eyes with brown hair.

Here's a quick one - back in the 70s, a guy came into the news & smoke shop where I worked. His Australian Shepherd had mismatched eyes, one bright blue, the other nearly white. Very striking. I said, "wow, man, yer dog has really strange eyes." He replied, "he sure does" as he removed his sunglasses.

His eyed were just like those of the dog.

I'd write that off to my being very stoned, but the two came in often afterwards, and we got to know each other better.

around D30 and D20 except more green. Husband's is kind of like T15 -17, outer color green, inner color brown. We have 2 brown eyed daughters, but also one blue eyed grand daughter and one whose eye color is like mine, hers really changes depending on what she wears. If i wear green, my favorite color, my eyes shine green.

I don't see my wife's eyes pictured. She's greenish gray. None of these samples look like her eyes.
