Eye and hair colour

    Hi guys,

    I was chatting about hair and eye colour in Ireland with a few mates of mine. I have green eyes, and was told that green is a relatively rare eye colour, which is something that I had never before noticed. This got me thinking about the prevalence of various colourings.

    So, boardsies, what are your hair and eye colours? I'd be interested to see what proportion of us are redheads (I wonder how true the Irish stereotype is). Natural hair colour only, please! :D

    My eyes are blue.

    My hair is naturally ... complicated to define.
    My hairdresser calls it 'medium blonde' so I'll go with that.

    Brown hair and blue eyes. From what I've seen this is pretty common in Ireland.

    Black hair and hazel eyes. My hair has sort of lightened a bit, but its still very dark and I love it. I wouldn't mind seeing what its like to have blonde or red hair for a while.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,962 ✭✭✭jumpguy


    Man I can't decide if they're green or gray! I had to turn to Wikipedia for help and I've concluded they're gray.

    Gray eyes and brown hair.

    Is your purple hair natural?

    That would be a no then.

    OP asked for natural hair colour.:pac:

    where's the albino option?
    White hair, red eyes.
    ...
    Not for me of course... Brown Hair, blue eyes... How dull.

    Edit: actually lets call them shining azure eyes... Just to make me feel less plebeian

    And what about people like David Bowie with two different coloured eyes? (Although they were the same colour at birth, he later had an accident that changed the colour of his left eye) or Kate Bosworth who has one blue eye and one eye that is half blue and half brown?

    I'm even more disappointed, OP, it seems you haven't taken certain extenuating circumstances into concern. :mad:

    There are no options left in the poll.

    It's nothing to do with the OP.

    Well there is nothing natural about red hair so we should remove those options? :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 336 ✭✭MelonieHead


    natural red head with green eyes!

    Hi, I don't know you, and I've never seen you but I'm willing to bet that you are beautiful, just based on the while "Natural redhead with green eyes" thing.

    Ok, thank you, that is all.

    I prefer ice cold to sparkling. I've said it before - moody/brooding is what does it for me. :)
