Why does my eye color look different in different lighting?

My eye color looks different when I'm in different light settings. For example when I'm in direct sunlight, moderate room lighting, and then like a bright white lamp light.

They all look brown it's just cause the lighting is brighter or darker.

Well, my science teacher told me this when a student claimed his eyes "changed colors". It really just means your eyes are more reflective and sensitive to surrounding colors than some peoples. The color doesn't change, just your surroundings. So it looks like your eyes change colors. It's just the way they reflect light and other things. But everyone's eyes look brighter in sunlight. Hope this helps. :)

Beth is right. It's actually pretty common, and personally I think it's very cool :) Mine shift between a bluer green and a more hazel color.

Some eye colors like gray and hazel change colors a lot while others don't change as much but I think your eyes might be hazel (like mine) because from the picture it looked like mostly green and browns which is what hazel eyes switch between. By the way Samantha you didn't have to be so rude she asked a valid question!

Thank you too Julia! I also asked it because when I was born till I was about 4 my eyes were blue but then I had done research and babies are born with little melanin which is what makes the babies eye color blue.
