Hi all, it seems like we need some ground rules for this sub to clarify what heterochromia is. Heterochromia means, by definition, two colors.
For this subreddit, that can absolutely include blue eyes with yellow centers. This sub focuses on appearance, not medical diagnosis.
Having specific pigment like lipochrome doesn't exclude you from having heterochromia.
Any eyes (or even hair!) with color differences are welcome to post.
This sub is about pretty eye colors, not official medical diagnosis. The gatekeeping is getting excessive.

Hey folks just a quick reminder:
Heavily edited photos are not allowed on this sub. Spamming of others' posts with your own photos is not allowed. A comment saying hey I think we have the same kinda eyes with a link to your profile where you have a bunch of photos-that's fine. Twelve comments in a row about yourself and photos of your eyes is not welcome.
This sub is about the three medically recognized forms of heterochromia: complete, sectoral, and central. Creative but medically unrecognized terms such as but not limited to "cryptic", "low contrast", "subtle" are welcome in conversation but they are not official types of heterochromia and posts and comments that insist they are official types of heterochromia will be removed as spam.
Edit to add: the rule about heavily editing photos is not going to be changed. If you want to edit photos to make it look like you have a totally different eye color/condition, make a new sub for it. Being rude to me about it isn't going to sway me, sorry not sorry.

when I was a baby I had bright sky blue eyes then eventually they turned gray then into this gray ish/blue undertoned green eyes with ch I think (i’ve been told I have ch from how the colours within my eyes don’t blend )

One eye is darker, and the other has a brownish splash in it. His eyes were blue until he was 1 then they started to darken a bit. My eyes are blue, dads are brown. He has a grandparent with blue eyes and his mom has kinda hazel looking light brown eyes.

I always assumed hazel was anything with more than 1 color.

Thought I'd showoff my partial/sectoral heterochromia! I always say my eyes are brown, instead of "brown with a slice of amber(?)" but one of my classmates tols me show it off

I added a few photos cause I felt like it was pretty inconsistent with how it looks in real life and my flash wasn’t strong enough to express the colours enough imo.

I'm curious if I have central heterochromia? And if these are hazel eyes or technically green (with central heterochromia)?

My baby has this like grey patch on their iris. They're still an infant so I know that eye color changes the older they get but usually it goes from color to brown not brown to something else. Baby has had it since birth, wondering if anyone had something similar?

2nd pic is color samples from each part

Or are these hazel eyes? For forever I've never been able to figure out what my eye color is.
r/heterochromia • u/Upper_You_7485 • 2d ago
All of your eyes are pretty

I realized this is the best pic I have that shows his eyes and one is more dilated than the other :s. Unfortunately he passed two yeara ago, so I can't take a better one. Me and my siblings were just discussing that we are all jealous that nobody got his heterochromia, we always perceived them as hazel and blue/gray, but seeing it here looks more like a central heterochromia bigger than the other. I guess you guys can give us a better answer.

Hii, I just wanted to know your opinion and if I have heterochromia in my left eye. My right eye is like the darker brown you see in the left eye.
r/heterochromia • u/Whalewithatophat • 3d ago
Not sure if it's the freckles or something else, but the eye on the right is actually darker than the one on the left too!!
r/heterochromia • u/RachmaninovWasEmo • 2d ago
Do I have central heterochromia?
What color would you say my eyes are? (I always get different answers).
What is the color in the middle around the pupil?
