My eyes apparently do the same colour changes, just not quite getting to
green, though.  I discovered this through people I lusted about complimenting
me on my 'cute blue-green eyes', when I'd always seen them as bluey-grey (I
mean, who looks in his bathroom mirror shaving for work and gets overcum
by his manly loveliness?  At 7.30 am?  Gimme a break!).

This has happened consistently enough, over a longish time, in various
lighting conditions (dawn, dusk, inside, outside, candlelight), and with
various colours and types of clothing (or lack thereof), that I think it
really must be a change in my eye colour, not any environmental effect.

I wonder if those itsy-bitsy blood-vessels in the iris get engorged when
I get aroused (just like all the other yummy bits)?  That might well explain
the change of colour.  I've extended the Newsgroups: with sci.bio to see
if anyone there knows...
