    Mine are blue, and do not change, although I once dated a girl whose
eyes underwent an amazing range of variation.
    I answered this OT post because it's so easy to add the ObConlang bit:
In Gladilatian "blue eyes" is "hna fsuwyet".  The "fsu" there specifically
means "two", or "a pair of", which is what gladifers would use to refer to a
human's eyes.  (They themselves have four eyes each.)  Gladilatian color
terms do not correspond exactly to English ones, but my eyes would
definitely be "hna".  Green eyes, "more towards yellow", would be "fana
fsuwyet".  "Fana" covers everything from yellow to blue-green.
