Sometimes they look green, sometimes, a little yellow, and others, a little gold.

I would still call them green, but they could be called hazel too… so beautiful

I captured these today. The lighting is different, but it still shows how his eyes change.

No point in trying to name a colour when they're still changing.

I have noticed with some of my cats, most of them actually, even when their eyecolor has settled, it can still look different in different lighting’s. Tess for instance who was a tortoiseshell had sort of gold colored eyes but they were also hazel, they had brown and a little green in them and sometimes they looked like a celadon green too.

Quinn who is a Siamese and has blue eyes, his eyes can look very deep, bright blue and also lighter depending on the lighting and what’s reflecting.

Blue eyes are caused by different types of albinism or lack of pigment in cats- they can be caused by having the color point or white gene. If they have white hair on the face near the eyes it can cause blue eyes due to lack of pigment. They are related to green eyes, because green eyes have less pigment in them. Whereas blue eyes in cats have no pigment almost.
I have read that in people with blue eyes below the layer that is blue they have a brown layer, I’m not sure if that’s true for cats too, I haven't read anything about it. I have blue- green eyes which is one of the rarer colors in people, and I have little specks of yellow in the blue which can be seen close up.

Zena probably has the most unusual color of my kitties because he is dichroic, the center is green and the outer part is yellow.

This was true at the beginning of the thread. Now, he has beautiful green eyes. They change in the light.

Here he is, a few days from being 16 weeks old.

Looking a bit dichroic there like my Zena, who has very distinct green in the center and yellow outside.
