Default Which lenses are best for light eyes?

Hi,
I have light blue eyes and want to get some dark brown lenses. I got the freshlook colourblends in hazel, but they make my eyes go green. Which would be the best ones to get?
Thanks

Hi, no im looking for real brown eyes so thats great, thanks for your help! I actually got some of the freshlook colourblends before I asked this question, and they made my eyes go green so I agree with you that they are misleading! Have you tried images colours at all as they look quite good?

All color contacts can be separated into two types - enhancement color lenses and opaque color lenses. Both will work for people with light eyes, although enhancers would be the smarter choice.

Enhancement color lenses are about 70-80% transparent. They are designed not to change your natural eye color, but to brighten it, making your eyes appear more interesting. Since the lens is partially transparent and the natural pattern of your iris is visible through it, enhancers look very natural.

Just wondering why you want dark brown eyes? I would think that FreshLook Colors (opaque) brown would work, but can't imagine why you would choose that color.
