Natural Eye Color Chart
I think mine are closest to C20, with a more greenish ring around the pupil and a darker more bluish-grey ring around the outside.
(Fun fact: I was surprised when my partner said his eyes were not blue. Apparently a steelier A40 does not qualify as blue in Sweden, but gets specified as steel blue. Mine always got called blue in the US, while really mostly grey—presumably because they’re not brown. I guess they’re in a position to make some finer distinctions there…where sign language for the color blue is pointing at one eye. 0_o)
The main reason I’m commenting, though: it doesn’t seem like there should be more choices in the blue-grey spectrum here than brown, to reflect the actual range of variation in human eye colors. Some suspicions as to why that might be, though I have no reason to think this chart is directly influenced by some earlier scientific racist BS which it automatically brought to mind. :-| I mean, the T40 is closest to the chinquapin color that a lot of people I know back home have including my mom (I also got the green ring from her), but there is no particularly good match here. And that’s just the first example that popped into mind.
(Since not everyone is familiar with chinquapins:)
I think mine would be an extremely, extremely dark D60. Like the green is so dark it looks brown at a distance, and then there’s a brown ring through the middle. But my eye color is definitely not in there.
