Happily, I have an answer to the eye color question. Yes, it is very hard-to-define, and I know, because I've been looking at this same eye color in the mirror for the last 37 years. My sister and my children also share it.<BR/><BR/>I grew up calling them "blue-green-grey", because, depending on the lighting and what I'm wearing, they fall into that general category. Most of the time they appear to be a dark grey-green. They've also got flecks of amber near the pupil--hard to see without looking closely, but they're there.<BR/><BR/>Ever wonder how in some scenes/photos, Alex's eyes appear to be a dark slate blue (in contrast to Sophia's lovely, classic cornflower-blue peepers), and in others a dark grey-green, and sometimes, especially in low light conditions, an undefinable dark color, something like brown, but not quite? Well, according to wikipedia, this eye color falls into the general catch-all of "hazel". Typically we think of hazel eyes as being somewhere between an olive green and a light brown. But hazel eyes can also have quite a bit of grey, which is how Alex's eyes appear to be. Here's a link to the wikipedia article on eye color. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color <BR/><BR/>Take a look at the photo regarding how eye color can seem to change. Looks familiar, doesn't it? Also look at the eyes on the right under the hazel category. I think those are very nearly the same color as Alex's.<BR/><BR/>Well, any way you define them, he's got great eyes.<BR/><BR/>RachelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
