What color would you suggest for someone who has dark brown, almost black eyes?

Don't bother with enhancers if you have very dark eyes. Go for opaques.

This is a copy of my recent reply to colored contact lens. Hope it helps.

Actually, I just received a new contact lens prescription for FreshLook Colors and was doing an online search for any new colors that they may have recently come out with, when I came across Freshkon. Checked into it and this is what I found:

FreshKon®, located in Singapore, carries the following (which are not cheap BTW):
FreshKon® Alluring Eyes; Colors Fusion, and Mosaic..
Alluring Eyes (with a 55% water content) are monthly ‘Iris Enhancers’, that make your eyes appear larger. However, they come in only two colors -- black and brown.

FreshKon® Colors Fusion has natural-looking 3-tone lenses. They come in 9 different colors: Misty Grey, Groovy Green, Perky Brown, Hippie Chestnut, Warm Hazel, Baby Aqua, Sky Blue, Cool Green and Romantic Violet.

FreshKon Mosaic, comes in blue, grey, green and brown.

I have attached a copy of the Colors Fusion lenses

You don't have dark brown eyes, do you catt? Which color would you recommend for someone who has dark brown eyes?

No, I have hazel/green -- or -- green/hazel eyes (situationally/environmentally controlled) Somedays more green than others. Strange. Anyhow the reason that I posted the FreshKon pics, was because they are made primarily for Asians (at least that's the impression got) who do have almost black eyes. And my pick would probably be the baby aqua ones.

Am noticing that the attached FreshKon pics that I previously posted (twice now) are not here. Am thinking that they finally made their way to the dreaded Bermuda Triangle (along with my tack hammer, and a certain brand of sunglasses) Anyway if it does not resurface here, check them out over at Colored Contact Lens

Are you talking about that advertisement for FreshKon contact lenses? I can see that plainly. You must have posted something else, then, huh?

Speaking of the Bermuda Triangle, have you been to Bermuda? I have and let me tell you, I was very tempted to "disappear."

Oh, is this your tack hammer? I found it in Bermuda.

When I lived in Miami (about half a life ago), my then husband was the V.P. of a cruise line, so. . . Yep, did take a cruise to Bermuda. It was a shame that the Bermuda Triangle took my tack hammer, but didn’t TAKE HIM!!!

Bermuda's looking very tempting these days, when there's a foot of snow outside. It doesn't snow where you are, does it catt?

Did you see that post here in Lens 101 where someone theorized that all our missing sunglasses were orbiting Saturn?

I saw that Saturn post and it made me laugh.

So do we have any recommendations on contact lens colors for people who have really dark brown eyes?

Hmmm. You must have taken a lot of cruises back in the day, huh catt? You probably wore sunglasses every day.

It looks like your Freshkon pictures have reappeared.

No way!. That was my first and last cruise (other than MS Dixie or whatever it's called that goes around Lake Tahoe). After about two hours, nearly everyone on the ship (except for drunken hubby) were indeed sorry that they had to pay to be this seasick. Vowed then I would NEVER take another cruise. Gag me!!!!
Insofar as wearing sunglasses everyday -- you bet. Started that habit in my teens and will continue until. . .????? However, about 95% of them were the kind that ZZTop sings about: "Cheap Sunglasses", "Oh Yeah".!!!

I understand that they come in two classes . . .

Hi catt,

I peeked at your profile.

Do you realize that of the nearly 300 posts you've added to Lens 101, only 11 of them were to start a new thread? That's a bit over 3% of your total.

I just thought that was interesting. Back to work.

I bet you'd look real cute in a fake beard and some cheap sunglasses.

A bit of ZZ Top trivia for you.

Did you know that the guy without the beard is named Frank Beard? No kidding.

Not to get off on a ZZ Top tangent, but I'm told that the guys turned down a lucrative offer from a razor blade company to shave off those trademark whiskers. They said that they were too ugly.
