Amber eye color, also known as wolf eyes are a rare human eye color which according to Wikipedia, describes them to have a “solid color and …a strong yellowish/golden and russet/coppery tint”. These types of eye colors are very common in wolves, hence the name wolf eyes.

I am a dirty blonde with all in all amber eyes exactly described here. I didn’t look at the examples of the celebs. They gave but from the photo of the eyes they did give I would say yep. I have had a lot of people say that they look honey colored or full gold. I don’t know what to in truth believe but I think that that may be it. To bad amber isn’t recognized when filling documents. Usually I have to put brown. Oh well. Lol…

So what i also have amber eyes
My wife tells me I have amber or honey colored eyes. They are more like a 75% orangish-copper color surrounded by an olive greenish color and encircled in a dark grayish blue ring. I’ve always considered them brown , maybe bordering dark hazel. I’ve only seen two people my entire life that had TRUE amber eyes. One was a girl working at a smoothie shop in Carlsbad, CA and the other one was a thirty something year old lady cashiering at the San Juan Capistrano, CA Costco. The color is so rare and beautiful and could never be confused with hazel, light brown or greenish.
what eyes color is this http://www26.speedyshare.com/F46xe/download/Untitled-2.jpg
on my eyes ,around the iris i have dark blue,and on it i have like a goldish-greenish colour,and a bit of gold-brown,and next to the pupil 2 very very small black dots on each eye,so what the heck of a color are my eyes? :))
They are a hazel variation. Hazel is usually green with a reddish-brown “star” around the pupil but there is also a blue or gray variant with a more golden “star” around the pupil.
Shame that the people listed as having amber eyes genuinely don’t, and also Alice and same Cullen?? Made up characters! Dear me :/
I’m sorry to say that none of the people you list have amber eyes.
Good observation. I wish you could give us some of the people who have amber eyes. We are all learning. That is the eye color the people mentioned have listed on their various profiles. 🙂
