If you look closely, you may even see grey eyes changing color. Depending on what a person is wearing and what color light they are in, a person’s grey eyes may appear grey, blue, or even green. Their eye color may even appear to change with their mood, as emotions can change the size of a person’s pupils which in turn compresses the colors of the iris, making eyes temporarily take on a different hue.
