Question concerning eye color?

My dad and I have a 20 dollar bet going about his eye color and I would appreciate it if you could settle it for us so I can get my money! :)

These are three colors to choose from and a description of each. Amber, hazel and light brown

Amber eyes are of a solid color and have a strong yellowish/golden and russet/coppery tint. This might be due to the deposition of the yellow pigment called lipochrome in the iris (which is also found in green eyes). Amber eyes should not be confused with hazel eyes; although hazel eyes may contain specks of amber or gold, they usually tend to comprise many other colors, including green, brown and orange. Also, hazel eyes may appear to shift in color and consist of flecks and ripples, while amber eyes are of a solid gold hue.

Hazel eyes often appear to shift in color from a light brown to a dark golden-green. A number of studies using three-point scales have assigned hazel to be the medium color between the lightest shade of blue and darkest shade of brown. Hazel mostly consists of brown and green. The dominant color in the eye can either be green or light brown/gold. This can sometimes produce a multicolored iris, i.e., an eye that is light brown/amber near the pupil and charcoal or dark green on the outer part of the iris (and vice versa) when observed in sunlight. Definitions of the eye color hazel vary: it is sometimes considered to be synonymous with light brown or gold, as in the color of a hazelnut shell.

Light-pigmented brown eyes are common in Europe, Northern India and some parts of the Middle East. Light-pigmented brown eyes are sometimes referred as “honey eyes”.

Thank you very much! :)

Best Answer

From what I can tell your dad has hazel eyes. Near the pupil they are a light brown and they change into a brown-green. The two defferent colors seem to only lead to hazel eyes. I hope you win the bet!! :)
