Eyes change colors based on mood--more info please!?!

Eyes change colors based on mood--more info please!?

I know some people have said it is not possible for your eyes to change colors based on your mood while others say it is. I believe mine change colors based on my mood. I want a reason as to why/how that happens.

So for all of you who feel that your eyes also change based on your mood, what color are your eyes generally? Mine are a fairly light blue. And based on one of the articles posted there is someone out there who thinks it is possible.

I'm with Erin, mine do too...would love to know why. I'm sure an Iridologist could tell you! They study that sort of connection.

I did find this on the net:

Hi Daniel:

Although I am not aware of any research in this area and have not
read anything scientific about this, I will offer you my own theories as
to why your eye colors may seem to change. My guess is that you have
rather light eyes, either blue, green, or a mixture of both. It is true
that some people's eye color can appear to change but I am not sure how
much change can be elicited. My theory is that the iris ( the colored
part of the eye that gives it its color), behaves in much the same way as
a person's face does, especially a face with pale or light complexion. I
am sure you have heard people commenting on another's face as being
"really red". Well, there is a physiological explanation for this. The
capillaries in the skin of the face become dilated, thus the percieved
"redness". It makes sense that the more blood in your facial skin, the
more "red" it would appear. As you know, the skin is semi-translucent,
meaning some light can pass through it. Just look at your hand and you'll
see outlines of "blue" veins.
I am certain the capillaries of the iris works in much the same way.
More blood in the iris capillaries will give its color a different
appearance but exactly what color change, I am not sure. But it
definitely is easier to tell when you have a relatively light colored
iris. As you may already know, iris color is dependent on the amount of
pigment in the epithelial cells of the iris rather then a difference in
color. More pigment = dark or brown irides and less pigment = light or
blue irides.
Now back to the question of when your eyes color changes. Well, as
you know, people's faces tend to get redder when they are mad or
embarrassed, so it can be assumed that under these emotional situations,
iris color may appear to deviate from its "normal" color.
I hope the above has helped. I would offer a reference for this
topic but I do not know where one exists! Anyway, good luck!
