I also have blue eyes wich turn green or grey. I cannot find any obvious
correlation with mood or pleasure (ahem, actually neither I or my partner
pay too much attention to the colour of eyes in such situations...so I
cannot say I checked it carefully), but they are obvoiusly changing to grey
when I am ill. Could it be realted to the levels of melanine in clump
cells? I heard that it is more common in light-eyed people.
I am really curious.
