Appreciation for People with Brown Eyes

December 13, 2017 by szachik@pvs.org 4 Comments

By Makena Behnke

people have heard many compliments concerning their eye color, but not many people compare brown eyes to anything except chocolate.

so here is a list of things you can compare brown eyes to:

  • acorns
  • amber
  • brown sugar
  • caramel
  • chestnuts
  • cinnamon sticks
  • clay
  • copper
  • espresso
  • fudge
  • hazelnuts
  • hot chocolate
  • mahogany
  • molasses
  • nutmeg
  • toffee
  • tree trunks
  • whiskey
  • regular chocolate works just fine, too

    As a person with brown eyes who has never been complimented on having brown eyes I appreciate this post.

    eyes are pretty great, at whatever color

    except if you’re blind then it’s not so great

    Makena,

    I could think of some pretty bizarre comparisons ….like “fertilizer”

    I want a list of things to compare blue eyes to as well…..
    I just don’t have the time to make it.

    Could you please?
