For some people this means they have a proper brown, for some it looks a little mixed. The exact look can vary depending on lighting too, so your true eye color is what it looks like in sunlight.
My eyes are B/G alleles, so I end up with eyes that range from blue to gray to green depending on indoor lighting, but outside they are decidedly green, just leaning towards grey from the blue allele. It certainly looks unusual but I don’t waste time trying to make up new eye colors. This is because green predominates blue. The hierarchy, with varying shades and degrees of codominance is Brown>Green>Blue. Hair color is similarly straightforward, I have blonde hair.
Come on, we use eye color to teach Mendelian inheritance to 10-11 year olds in the US, but I guess people really just don’t pay attention in class.
