    The real stumper is that my eyes change color. On any normal given day they are blue or grey. When I get really angry, they turn green. The effect is frightening to watch, I've been told. (Please limit your Incredible Hulk references, It's only my eyes that turn green.)


    My hair is dark, charcoal brown, but has a dark red or auburn tent or maybe highlights to it. I used to hav a small patch of blond under one side of my bangs, but I don't know if it is still there. I have hazel eyes.

    Everyone tells me that because of the red-ish-ness in my charcoal brown hair, I will look good with graying hair. That's fine with me just as long as I look beautiful.

    And my eyes turn greener with the color of clothing... shirt... I am wearing. Blue makes them a little bluer, but more like shinier too.

    I'm just so beautiful... LOL!

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    You're like one of my friends, his eyes change colors depending on the background. We put a blue piece of paper next to him and they turned blue, and with green they turned green. Pretty cool.

    And that sort of thing is where my rather basic genetic skills fall short. Color change, and people with 2 different colored eyes.

    However, hair is very complicated genetically speaking as the dominant colors (dark usually) have incomplete dominance and so both alleles show up in the physical expression of the genes.
