what does the eye color mean and what color is your eye?

Eye color is the pigmentation and reflections of particles in your eye. Basically the lighter the eye the less pigmentation is in that eye.  BLue eyes have less pigmentation than brown eyes. The way that the color is reflected gives the different apperance of the eye color. \nMy eyes are green. They arecool.

Basically, Color, black and white are measured by the Cones and Rods in the back of you retinas.  And boy are there a lot of them.  But one eye might have a little more than the other eye  or there maybe more of them grouped in a certain location which may be the reason for the discreptancy.

My eyes change color as well. I have hazel eyes.  But they go to a solid green or blue.  They also get an orange or brown color to them as well.  As to why, I dont know.  But most people whose eye color changes have hazel eyes.

Sorry for the somewhat inappropriate answers you got. Well, what can we do? this world is ful of diverse mindsets you know.\n\nFirst of all, congratulations for getting your question featured on the Yahoo! Homepage. Keep on asking good questions!\n\nNow, to answer your question, some peoples' eye colors change without any apparent reason. As you might be knowing that traits like color of skin, eye (iris) color depend on your genes i.e. these are genetic traits, certain changes in genes might directly affect these outer morphological (=phenotypic) traits. The changes are so slight that they often go unnoticed. Apparently yours got noticed.\n\nBut, if your eyes are suddenly "loosing colors" i.e. are undergoing depigmentation, that "might" be a case of concern.

No, there's loads of different shades/colours of eyes. Mine seem to change from light blue to green to dark blue

I have hazel green, brown eyes. However, my left eye has some blue in it. And, both eyes have what's called freckles in them. When you look up close, some say they look like specks of dirt but their not. Hazel eyes are the best because they change colors from green, to green brown, and so forth. I'm able to captivate guys a lot with my eyes. Maybe I can captivate you. =>

I'm not really sure, but from what I understand it to could be some chemical changes in the body based on your feeling and what horomones your brain is releasing. My teacher told me that some teenagers have eyes that change color because of hormonal changes, and when they become adults, their eyes will probably remain one certain color. \n\nIf you are interested in eye genetics here is a link:\nwww.anthro.com/evo/inherit.html\n\nMy eyes are completely brown and my favorite eyes are blue.

i stand corrected (looked up answer). its rare but possible.  \n\nEye color is an inherited trait influenced by more than one gene.[6][7] There seem to be three genotypic eye colors (brown, green, and blue) in humans.[3] Although it was once thought that brown eye color was always dominant and blue eye color was always recessive, the fact that two blue-eyed parents can give birth to a brown-eyed child has shown that the determination of eye color does not follow the simple rules of Mendelian inheritance.[6][8] Three gene pairs coding for human eye color are currently known: EYCL1, EYCL2, and EYCL3.[9][10]\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color#Determination_of_eye_color\nhttp://www.biosci.ohio-state.edu/~pfuerst/courses/eeobmg640/reading1eyecolor.pdf

The quote from the link explains how yellow is a combination of colors and when added to blue all the colors are represented and the result is white light.  This has to do with the fact that the normal human eye has only three different color receptors and many colors we see are mixtures. \n\n"White is the combination of all colors of light. In other words, the color white is seen when the red, green and blue channels all send signals to the brain. It follows that red light plus green light plus blue light produces white light. However red plus green without the blue produces yellow. By deduction, yellow light plus blue light most produce white light."

The colored part of your eye is the iris, and all it does is control the amount of light that passes into the eye by varying the size of your pupil.  Light passes through that opening to the retina at the back of the eye where the rods and cones convert the lightwaves into the nerve signals that your brain recognizes as objects, colors, etc.

there are many different genes that code for eye color.  It isn't really a simple punnet square problem.  Here is a cool article that talks about genetics and also has examples of each eye color.  I always thought I had brown or hazel eyes, turns out they are amber!  Who knew.

There is a WONDERFUL site that you can input both parents eye colors (and their parents) and it will tell you the percentages of what you offsprings eyes could be!\n\nhttp://www.thetech.org/genetics/\n\nDown near the bottom left it will have the link for you to launch the application to do the test.

Your genetics determine eye color.  The iris (colored part) of your eye has pigments in it to protect it from the sun, kind of like your skin does.  Blue eyes=not a lot of pigment....brown eyes=lots of pigment.  Albino people don't have any pigment there, so they tend to have pink eyes that are very sun-sensitive.

Colour is all about light.  The amount, quality, and colour of light can make a difference.\n\nYour clothing is reflecting light, thats how we see what colour it is, it can easily reflect to your eyes.

Eye color is a physical trait that is genetically determined. A favorite pastime for many expectant parents is documenting the eye color of grandparents and extended family members to attempt to predict the eye color of their baby. Any discussion of the inheritance of eye color, requires a review of genetics. In basic terms, eye color is determined by the amount of a pigment called melanin that is in the iris of the eye. Brown eyes have lots of pigment, blue eyes very little. The amount of pigment is determined by a number of genes controlling pigment production. Generally speaking, brown is dominant, meaning that if one parent has brown eyes and the other has blue eyes, the baby will most likely have brown eyes. But the situation is really much more complicated than that. For a more complete description, read on.

Yes.  Black is the condition of no visible light reaching the eyes.  However, because 'colour' is an arbitrary way that humans identify the sensation of electromagnetic waves, the fact that 'black' can be sensed makes it a colour.  However, black can either be the absence of all light or the combination of many other colours.

Hair color, eye color, and also skin color are determined by special proteins called pigments.  The pigments in your hair, eyes, and skin are encoded in your genes, which is was these traits are said to be genetic.  All molecules absorb some wavelengths of light and reflect others.  Pigments are typically complex molecules that reflect certain wavelengths in the visible spectrum and absorb others.  Different people have different color pigments because there are minor changes in the DNA sequences that code for the pigments which result in minor changes in the molecules themselves, which in turn change the wavelenghts of light that are reflected and absorbed.  If someone has blue eyes, it is because the pigments in their eyes reflect a lot of wavelenghts of blue light, and absorb most other colors.
