What color would you call this?

Gardening has gone south a bit because the weather got cold. We're expecting a freeze sometime this week (which is right on time since we have beautiful weather and then ice around late March or mid April), so I'm veering from my topic for a little bit.
Okay, so this is blogged from my flickr page.

I've always had trouble labeling what color my eyes are. If you look, I have all sorts of stuff in there. I used to think they changed colors because if I wore green, they looked green, if I wore blue they were blue, and if I wore grey...they were stormy charcoal.
I hate the term 'hazel.' I think it is too much of a blanket term. What, if it's not blue, brown, grey, or green, it's hazel? Surely we have better descriptive terms. Unfortunately, I know my eyes too well. I am biased. So I turn to you, my friend and reader (do I have more than one of you still out there?), to tell me. What color do you think this is?

My eyes constantly change colors too. I gave up trying to figure out my true color since sometimes they are deep blue, sometimes bright green, sometimes gray... so I just call them Chameleon color :) My driver license says "hazel" though lol

I've just learned to embrace my chameleon eyes!

Hmm. My sister's eyes are a lot like that. We've always called them blue (since almost everyone else in the family has blue eyes), but they definitely have hazel bits. Whatever colour they are, they look pretty!
