Ah. Just like my eyes then. Thank you Barry. ;) They're green going towards yellow closest to the pupil. When I get the sun directly in them, they look like something from Omen. I still don't know if that's good or bad. :) As for me, my favourite colour is definitely green. But dark green. I think it's called forest green, or the british green of those really cool Jaguar cars. There is something about colours that is just so cool. I've been very inspired by all this talk about colours and I think I will also have some kind of qualities or characteristics associated with each colour. Green will probably get good traits - all imho - such as change, language, intelligens and humour. Though I don't know which colours would represent the bad traits such as jealousy, narrow-mindedness, conservatism (the bad non-political kind! I don't want to go into politics here), etc. because I kinda like all the colours. Perhaps I can mix in the elements - fire, water, air, earth, wood, stone, light and darkness, cold, heat, heaven - as well and assign a colour to each and then give each element/colour some characteristics. Yay! This is fun! I'm gonna have to think more about this. Daniel
