Line 8:
Hazel eyes are basically middle ground between [[Brown Eyes]] and [[Green Eyes]]. Which is appropriate, since Hazel is a mix of brown and green pigments. They occasionally show up with elements of [[Eyes of Gold]] as well.
It should be noted that these eye color tropes are not just for characters who have eyes of this color, but when the color actually stands for something significant to that character, like blue for water, green for earth, red for evil,

{{examples}}▼
▲{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Asahina has hazel eyes in ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]''. We see how she has hidden potential when {{spoiler|her time-traveling more-competent future self appears in the story}}.
* Setsuna F. Seiei, [[The Hero]] of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'', has hazel eyes.{{context|reason=What's special about them?}} {{spoiler|And, as said in the last sentence in the description, he is surrounded by people with [[Eyes of Gold]] and, later in the series, [[Evolutionary Levels|he got those too]].}}
* ''[[Death Note]]'' fans often describe Light's eyes as hazel, but they're actually brown. There's no green in there at all - which is fortunate, as it would clash with the [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|stunning (but metaphorical) red shade]] they often turn.
* ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'': Hanon has these eyes while in human form (while in mermaid or idol form, she has [[Blue Eyes]]).{{context|reason=What's special about them?}}
* South Italy (Romano) in ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', probably to make him halfway between North Italy, who has brown eyes, and Spain, who has green.
* Yellow from ''[[Pokémon Special]]''.{{context|reason=What's special about them?}}
* Miho Nishizumi from ''[[Girls und Panzer]]'', to set her apart from the rest of her family and as a sign of her potential to become her own person once she abandons the family's ways.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* [[Strangers in Paradise|Katchoo]] has them.{{context|reason=What's special about them?}}
* [[Spider-Man]]'s eyes are officially hazel, but given the practicalities of comic book coloring, they're effectively brown.{{context|reason=What's special about them?}}
== [[Fan
* In ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]'' fanfics, [[The Watson|Dr. Watson]] is often described by many different fans as having hazel eyes (the other prominent eye color is blue). The consensus on the hazel eyes seems to be that they are warm, in total contrast to Holmes's cool [[Gray Eyes]], and that they match Watson's tan and traditionally blond hair.
* In Episode 10 of ''[[Final Stand of Death]]'', Melanie's eyes were originally this color before her "operation", which resulted in [[Icy Blue Eyes]].{{context|reason=What's special about them?}}
== [[Literature]] ==
Line 32 ⟶ 34:
* Eddie Dean of ''[[The Dark Tower]]'', also easily described as "mercurial, unpredictable, and ultimately trustworthy."
** Don't forget from junkie to [[Badass]] cowboy.
* The titular character of [[Jane Austen]]'s ''Emma'' is described as having "the true hazel eye."{{context|reason=What's special about them?}}
* [[X Wing Series|Wedge Antilles!]] Hazel eyes that generally look brown, fine brown hair. Kind of a background character in the movies, though he does appear in and survive all three. Much [[Ascended Extra|more important]] in the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]], where he becomes a [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]. He's a bit too quietly complex a character to be summed up quickly, but he does have a strong sense of duty to the Rebellion/New Republic.
* Keladry of Mindelan and George Cooper in [[Tamora Pierce]]'s ''[[Tortall]]'' series have hazel eyes, and both are very good (if stubborn) people.
* Gilbert Blythe in the ''[[Anne of Green Gables]]'' saga has "roguish hazel eyes" and begins the series as Anne's infuriating pest before becoming her worthy (and reliable) soul-mate.
** Their oldest son, Jem, and their youngest daughter, Rilla, are also noted to have hazel eyes.
* At least two of [[Neil Gaiman]]'s protagonists have this eye color, such as [[Coraline (novel)|Coraline]] and [[Neverwhere|Richard Mayhew]].{{context|reason=What's special about them?}}
* Holly Short of [[Artemis Fowl]] has these. Along with her auburn hair and dark skin, it's probably supposed to reflect that, as an elf, she's in touch with nature.
== [[Live
* Speaking of people named James, ''[[Star Trek]]''{{'}}s James T. Kirk is hazel-eyed and could be said to be the epitome of being both unpredictable and reliable.
** The eye color scheme is a bit inverted in the [[Star Trek (film)|new movie]]; Bones (blue-eyed in the original series), who is a reliable crewmember and friend yet can be quite mercurial, has hazel eyes (though it probably wasn't any intentional symbolism; Karl Urban just happens to have hazel eyes). Meanwhile, [[Chris Pine]], playing the new and much more - er - erratic incarnation of Kirk, has bright blue eyes, planting him squarely in the blue-eyed, golden-haired hero category.
* [[The X-Files]]' Mulder has hazel eyes that tend to change color a lot: in some instances, they seem brown, other times green, and in some episodes blue.
* The [[Doctor Who|Eleventh Doctor]] gets hazel eyes. Unpredictable? Check. Reliable? Check.
* Emma Pillsbury ([[Jayma Mays]]) on ''[[Glee]]'' has immense hazel eyes. Naturally, she can be trusted with anything, but woe betide he who commits an injustice in front of her. This may be enhanced by a latent [[Fiery Redhead]] streak.
* ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]''’s Penny has hazel eyes (although they are usually depicted in [[Fanon]] as green). Exceptionally fitting for her character, as she is a mundane among a group of geniuses. It has also been hinted at on many occasions that she has greater potential than she believes.
* ''[[Psych]]'': Shawn Spencer has hazel eyes, but he is anything but mundane. Genius intelligence covered over by a Peter Pan personality and frequent trips into the absurd (arguably in a good way).
* ''[[Early Edition]]'': Gary Hobson has hazel eyes. He is also very laid back, somewhat nervous at times, and would probably be happy simply running a bar if it wasn't for that paper.
* ''[[Once Upon a Time (TV series)|Once Upon a Time]]'': [[Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (novel)|Snow White]], her daughter Emma, and grandson Henry share them.{{context|reason=What's special about them?}}
== [[Music]] ==
* Kelly Clarkson released a song "Behind These Hazel Eyes" on her 2004 album "Breakaway".{{context|reason=What's special about them?}}
* "Hazel Eyes" by [[The Darkness]], found on their second album "One Way Ticket To Hell... And Back."{{context|reason=What's special about them?}}
* "Turning Japanese" by [[The Vapors]] begins with the lyrics, "Your eyes are hazel/Your hair is brown..."{{context|reason=What's special about them?}}
== [[Theatre]] ==
* In the musical version of ''[[The Secret Garden]]'', it is mentioned many, ''many'' times that Mary has hazel eyes, the same color as her aunt Lily's, Colin's mother. There's even a song about it, which is arguably the best song in the show.
* [[Harrison Ford]] has eyes that look different depending on the lighting, but at the end of the day, they're hazel.{{context|reason=What's special about them?}}
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Alistair from ''[[Dragon Age]]'' seems to have hazel eyes; that is, in many shots, they seem brown, while in others (particularly in drastic lighting, such as in camp), they seem much lighter and distinctly gray-green. Appropriate, given his constant remarks about his own incompetence despite (or perhaps because of) {{spoiler|being heir to the throne.}}
* [[Rated "M" for Manly|Bang]] [[Highly-Visible Ninja|Shish]][[Memetic Badass|igami]] and [[Ms. Fanservice|Makoto]] [[Cute Monster Girl|Nanaya]] from ''[[
== [[Web Comics]] ==
Line 68 ⟶ 70:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* [[The Simpsons (animation)|Marge Simpson]]'s eyes are hazel. This is only relevant because Homer forgot what color they were as the b-plot of an episode. Marge hid them from him until he finally remembered. Of course, we'd never know this, because Simpsons characters irises are never drawn, even in extreme close up, except for exactly one shot in this self-same episode when it's relevant.{{context|reason=What's special about them?}}
* Stella from ''[[Winx Club]]''. The pixie Chatta, as well.{{context|reason=What's special about them?}}
* Mater from Disney/Pixar's ''[[Cars]]'' has hazel eyes that often appear green with orange inner rims.{{context|reason=What's special about them?}}
* Bonnie from ''[[Toy Story 3]]''.{{context|reason=What's special about them?}}
* An early draft to the ''[[South Park]]'' movie stated Kenny had hazel eyes. It's been retconned, though, into [[Blue Eyes]].{{context|reason=What's special about them?}}
