		<description>Hi, Ellen,

Yes, those descriptions are very real- but just as there is enormous variation among skin colouring, so is there in the eyes. If we do an accurate PCA from eyes, people could just mail in their photos. It took me awhile to learn it. I certainly don&#039;t look at the eye of every client, though I try because I enjoy it, and use that information other than as confirmation that we&#039;re probably headed the right way with the drapes. 
I don&#039;t take pictures of eyes. I&#039;ve looked on the internet but don&#039;t see the degree of close up and focus needed to illustrate the point.

		<description>Christine, this is fascinating. I think I remember reading in CMB (original) about Winter&#039;s &quot;Spokes on a wheel,&quot; Autumn&#039;s &quot;Aztec Sun,&quot; Summer&#039;s &quot;Cracked Glass,&quot; and Spring&#039;s &quot;Starburst.&quot;

Does this still hold true? According to that site (with my monitor&#039;s questionable colour settings!) my eyes seem to be dark fading to to light slate blue, with burnt sienna in the centre, in I guess what could be considered &quot;petals&quot;? But they&#039;re large petals that fade from the brown to the blue-grey. 

Hm. Would you be able to post examples of different types of eye patterns?</description>

		<description>Samantha,

I see the blue as a Summer colour in that it is quite greyish. A Facebook reader introduced me to this great page:

http://www.yaelf.com/colour.shtml

Powder Blue is icier, Sky Blue is more pastel. To be Winter, it must be icy, so no grey, but still very light.

		<description>I love this! I did one for myself -- here are the codes: 302923 (that&#039;s for the color I picked out of my eye -- a deep, dark brown) and its opposite CFD6DC (I think it might be either an icy slate blue or something else, I don&#039;t know. But it looks like either a Winter or a Summer color). What do you make of this?</description>

		<description>I could almost buy deep autumn but a lot of those rich, dark colors wash me out. I seem to favor a handful of colors from clear spring, deep autumn and warm (or true) autumn. Winter colors aren&#039;t that fantastic on me except for deep magenta (if it&#039;s not too blue) and burgundy. (I know haircolor is less important that skin, but as a child mine was lighter, coppery brown, so I doubt there&#039;s much about me that&#039;s cool.)

I bought a sweater in a brightish, very warm olive green the other day was surprised how good it looks. I would have never picked that color since I started playing around with color analysis. I know it belongs to one of the autumns, so I&#039;m getting there.</description>

		<description>Flowers and stars are both very possible. Autumns tend to be more star-like, especially Autumn/Winter blends. 
It is very common to be uncertain. I was this way with everyone I met till I got this thing figured out.

		<description>&quot;Could you say that there seems to be a flower-like shape around the pupil?&quot;

No. More of a star. And it&#039;s dark, olive-y brown/yellow. I should have been more specific. My  overall eye color is a deep red-brown, but I know by now that&#039;s not as important as other things.

Is it this common to waver between two or three seasons? I mean, in the sense that one day you&#039;re convinced you&#039;re a bright spring, then the next a deep autumn, and then the next maybe a warm autumn? Well, I know I&#039;m warm, not soft and not light.</description>

		<description>Kathy,

The yellow rim is common to any of the Seasons with a Spring component, including Light Summer where there is just a trace of Spring. It looks faded when the Spring is not strong. It&#039;s also much easier to see in a light eye. Brown eyes are more difficult. Just because there is no pattern doesn&#039;t at all imply that you couldn&#039;t be a Spring. Could you say that there seems to be a flower-like shape around the pupil?

Luana,

The skin colour around the eye can be hard to distinguish. Theoretically, in Autumn people, it&#039;s more orange than yellow, but this is by no means easy to see in everyone. These pictures tend to illustrate the classic examples. Autumn people almost always have brown specks, random smudges of brown, or a brown star around the pupil. The brown is often orange-amber. I would say that this brown is more consistent among Autumns than the obviously orange skin colour around the eye.

		<description>Christine,
very interesting article. My mom has the same colour eye of Louise, except for the yellow sunshine. Her skin  at the inner corner and outer corner is yellowish. I&#039;ve always thought she was an Autumn, a Soft Autumn like me, but closer to True Autumn. Is the yellowish skin you mentioned possible for Autumn?</description>

		<description>I find the concept of eye patterns fascinating, mostly because I have little &quot;pattern&quot; in mine. They&#039;re just brown. Not the deepest brown, and no flecks of gold or green, just brown. Maybe a little reddish. The most interesting thing is the deep, green-gray rim around the iris, and even that I can barely see unless the light is good. 

In Louise&#039;s eye is the yellow the yellow sunburst common in a spring eye? I have that, too, but it doesn&#039;t show unless I look with a flashlight or in bright sunlight. I swear, even my ophthalmologist hasn&#039;t examined my eyes as closely as I have in the past few weeks.</description>
