Hazel Eyes Hi I noticed you had reverted my changes to the hazel eye section however left me a message informing me I could contact you on your talk page providing more information I ve numerously tried to get Wikipedia to change the hazel eye color section as it s informing people that hazel eyes can be gold brown and green either could be dominant which is a myth as a hazelnut doesn t contain any significant green colouration whatsoever it is true that sometimes very minimal green tints are present in a brown eye to produce a golden glow and create the hazel colour but hazel eyes can never be eyes that are significantly green with slight brown gold admixture that is a North American misconception which is believed to have occurred in the past 100 years or so as in Europe the origin of light coloured eyes and hazelnuts the true original meaning is still used The problem is there is no documentation on hazel eye definitions changing throughout the years nor has there ever been a study conducted tracing back to how the myth misconception in North America came about it s more of an assumption that people have come to realize as North Americans have started inaccurately identifying eyes that are significantly green with slight brown admixture as well as eyes that are blue or grey with brown admixture as the colour hazel because they re multi coloured and appear to change in different lighting even though they don t resemble the colour of a hazelnut in any way It s an issue myth that requires common sense to understand really so even though I can not provide you with documentation or studies concerning the changes of hazel eye definitions becoming misconceived in North America I can provide you with numerous sources pictures of what hazel eyes are supposed to be and what the colour hazel is described as being defines it as a light golden brown colour after a hazelnut shows a pure hazel eye big difference to the green eye diagonally below to the right shows hazel as a honey beige brown colour and categorizes is next to another brown eye rather than green puts hazel eyes in the same category as honey not green plus displays a green eye with abit of brown under the green category shows hazel eyes in numerous pictures presenting them as a golden brown states the North American misconception and the true original European definition while showing examples of various sources numerous pictures and comments below of people agreeing and showing gratitude states the misconception and says that hazel eyes are supposed to match the hazel or cob nut the fruit of the hazel bush tree that grows in Europe shows an optometrists opinion experience with the issue while stating the North American hazel eye misconception and providing sources backing up his statement I would also like to state the very first reference to eyes ever being compared to the colour hazel was by William Shakespeare in Romeo Juliet in which he was comparing a persons eyes to the reddish brown colour of a ripe hazelnut Mercutio Thou wilt quarrel with a man for cracking nuts having no other reason but because thou hast hazel eyes what eye but such an eye would spy out such a quarrel Act 3 Scene I Romeo and Juliet Source Considering William Shakespeare was an English writer it does prove the original intension purpose of calling a persons eyes the colour hazel was to compare them to the colouration of either a light golden brown hazelnut or a reddish darker brown hazelnut and never a green and gold brown mix or any multi coloured eye blue grey or green with brown around the pupil as a hazelnut doesn t present any blue grey or green colouration nor is the colour hazel described as possessing any of these colours I only hope you re more understanding of this issue and can agree with what i m saying I strongly think you should keep my last changes to the hazel eye section so people can understand know about what hazel eyes are supposed to be rather than leaving the information as it is feeding people with the North American myth That being said the hazel eyes picture on the right of the hazel eye section isn t green or gold in any way it s actually a blue eye with significant brown around the pupil the hazel eye section doesn t say anything about haz
