Why do you ask?
I always thought my father's eyes were brown. But since my mother has grey eyes, and I have green, the green had to come from somewhere. I'm putting this together with a friend I knew back in college, I'm in contact with him and his wife and their kids, recently she mentioned his hazel eyes. I never saw a hint of anything other than brown, way back when; but I spent a couple of years learning to read him, and finally realized that behind everything else in his eyes, was a deep-seated anger. He has managed to build a much more contented life for himself and his family than I could have predicted. The old man was a very angry person. It just occurred to me, that there might conceivably be some connection between mood and how brown or green hazel eyes appear, since my friend has so much less anger, and more green showing.

It's amazing that you should say that.
When I was much younger (= massive anger), my eyes were a lot more brown in photos. After the March (25 years ago...more like a lifetime) they turned much, much greener.
I could not conceive of how that could be until I read a bit in Bernie Segal's Love, Medicine and Miracles that talks about studies showing that a change in personality can precipitate a change in eye color. I don't have it right here, or I'd find the page number for you.
Now you have offered irl confirmation.
Cute! Also, huh, snow.
It's 80 something here and I put on the AC today.
Dang. It was 30-some degrees and crazy windy that day. Dogs could give a rat's ass, but I was frozen.
Cannot wait for warm weather to come back.

Walked off a lot of anger? I'm glad that you were able to get free of it. And I'm glad for my friend's sake that he managed to make a better life for himself. It just tickles me to see pictures of him with his kids, and hear, well read, how much he loves his wife.
Walked off a lot of anger?
Quite literally. Or, is that actually?
Anyhoo. Yep.
People with hazel eyes, does the brown or green become more ascendant depending things like mood?
I have blue-green eyes, that change based on mood, clothing, and something else that is longer term. When I was a kid, they were mostly blue. When I was in high school and college, they were mostly green. Now they're most blue again.
Also, yeah Barb! That is so cool.
I have always had a speck of brown in one eye; it's bigger, but my medium blue are are a lot more greeny-blue than they were 20 years ago.
I went out to a friend's 40th bday party, had some margaritas, sat outside, watched the sun set. Low 70's till the sun set, but still nice out.
Good evening.
Guys, I've lost like 12 pounds since January! From working really hard; I haven't done anything! I have a waist again -- it's very dippy. I love my dippy waist. Thatsa a nice curve.
