Eye color article
Hello Xavierjohnson123;

I was wondering why you took the 'human female with amber eye' I posted in the 'Amber' eye colour section and posted it in the 'Hazel' section?

From the definitions of the eye colours, which I assume are correct, Amber eyes are one solid yellow colour while hazel eyes comprise a few different colours, which my the picture of the amber eye does not, while the one there now, titled 'Martinbrowneyes' does. Indeed 'Martinbrowneyes' really does look brown, while the eye that I have posted is a lot lighter and much more golden/yellow. The article also states: "hazel eyes may appear to shift in color and consist of flecks and ripples, while amber eyes are of a solid gold hue." While the eye under amber at present does consist of flecks and ripples, the eye I posted actually is a solid gold hue; it just looks more brown in the corner because the light was not hitting there as intensely when I took the photo.

Are you a doctor, or a research scientist? If so, can you tell me what is it that makes the eye I posted hazel? I'm unsure of the definition really, as are most people, but I do know that the eye I posted looks very different from the other one listed under hazel - I don't think anyone would ever consider them as having a similar eye colour. I await your reply.

Yours Sincerely,

Ekbaros
