A cat's eyes might be green with yellow hues, genuine green, or green with blue undertones.
Hazel eyes are a mix of green and yellow. Most wild cats in temperate climates, including Lynx and Bobcats, have this eye colour.
Yellow eyes can range from delicate lemon yellow to golden tones, eventually blending into a deep and rich amber.
This hue was created by British cat breeders who desired an eye colour that would stand out against any coat colour.
The deepest eye colour found in cats is copper. Their eyes will be light brown with red and orange undertones.
The precise word for odd-colored eyes is heterochromia iridium, which refers to each iris being a different hue.
