Default Grey/Green Eyes

This morning I saw a young lady walking on the sidewalk who had a very interesting eye color. It was sort of a greenish-grey. Do any of you know of any contact lenses that are that color?

Do you think that she was wearing contact lenses and you were interested in purchasing them, or just wanted to know if someone can naturally have green/gray eyes?

I don't know about KITT, but I'm curious to know if anyone makes grey-green contact lenses.

I haven't seen greenish gray contacts but I know there are greenish blue contacts called Quartzos in Natural Colors by Solotica.

I am curious, as a matter of fact. That's why I started this thread.

solotica quartzos look greenish grey on some people--it depends on your natural eye color

Solotica cristals look very green gray and they have a feathered pupil hole that a lot of people like--the Solflex monthly version leans more true grey though

I tried to find a picture of grey-green contacts, but most of the pictures that came up just looked grey.

Before y oubuy them make sure you are very clear with them what you want---if you find someone online with the same contacts ask them if they had them adjusted, what pupil size, etc---and send the video/pictures to Fxeyes telling them that is the result you want--that will save you a lot of time sending back and forth to get the color right--plus the pupil size can't be changed so make sure that it isn't too large or too small


For example, these contacts are from 9mmsfx--the color is "light green" but she had them adjusted so the green is more of a pastel grey green--if you wanted this result you would have to show them this video so they could give you the same effect http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QslERMAXi7I

Otherwise, your result would be this, which is a lot less natural

Thanks for the advice! I have asked them many questions both on the site and youtube to ensure the right colour. Halo is not one of the lightest lenses so I think they will look perfect, I will send pictures aswell and have very specific requirements. I have been back and forth on the colours and pupil size for a year now! I am finally ready to order. Will post pictures when I finally receive them.

It's very important to ask questions about the contact lenses you order on line. Are those customized lenses you bought, Syren? They look great.

Not exactly no. The are pre-set colours, however, they are hand painted on white lens base rather than printed dot matrix on clear, these and 9mmsfx lenses are the best I have come across, hence the steep price!

I can't wait to see them-I'm jealous! I'm probably going to go down that route eventually

Hand painted, huh? That's practically as good as having them custom made.

It will take a few months but I'm sure they are worth the wait! Having tried every contact lens under the sun, I hope to find one I can stick to!

yeah and you can have them tweaked as well--lightened, darkened, more blue or green


I guess true customs would be if you could give them a pic of anyone's eyes and just say 'give me a pair of these'

Yes, right. Customized lenses is when you say "I want you to make them this color, exactly."
