What are the scientific facts about eyes changing colors?
Does anyone know what the scientific explaination for eyes changing colours is?
My eyes are usually a dark blue, but sometimes they’re a really light blue, green, or gray.
Just wondering, thanks. :P
From the Wiki page on eye color:
In European populations, children are most commonly born with unpigmented eyes. As the child develops, melanocytes—cells found within the iris of human eyes (as well as skin and hair follicles)—slowly begin to produce melanin. Because melanocyte cells continually produce pigment, eye color, in theory, can be changed. Changes (lightening or darkening) of eye colors during puberty, early childhood, pregnancy, and sometimes after serious trauma (like heterochromia) do represent cause for plausible argument to state that some eyes can or do change, based on chemical reactions and hormonal changes within the body. Most eye changes happen when the infant is around one year old, although it can happen up to three years of age.
Studies on Caucasian twins, both fraternal and identical, have shown that eye color over time can be subject to change, and major demelanization of the iris may also be genetically determined. Most eye-color changes have been observed or reported in the Caucasian population with hazel eyes.

Hmm, I’d like to know that too, my eyes kind of go between brown and a green-ish hazel. More or less, I’m only putting this answer here so I can click the ‘Notify me for new advice’ button and get updates on this.
Wow, I’m of pure european decent. That’s pretty neat. Haha
Your eyes will have different colour shades and it depends on the light conditions you are in
