How would you react if someone tried to compliment your eyes but got the color completely wrong?

[Still-alive]

Like "wow lovely blue eyes"
"They're green!"
"oh sorry!"

I'd still appreciate it

I'd feel very awkward

I would think less of them for it

I'd be confused as to how they could get that wrong

I would compliment them back

I'd make fun of or tease them for it

I'd have a different reaction (please say)

My eyes are similar to those in the pic you posted (I've literally gotten everything from people calling them blue/grey/seafoam green, etc..). I mean... it's very possible that what their colour looks like changes according to lighting plus what I'm wearing. Like if I wear something light blue on top, there's a 99% chance that most people will make compliments about how blue my eyes are. Likewise with green.🤷

I don't really care in the end. It's just eye colour so nbd.

[Moimaris]

I hear it all the time that people say I’m have nice blue eyes. I have green eyes. I don’t mind that they say the wrong color, but sometimes they assume that blond haired women have blue eyes and I feel somehow objectified that I’m the ‘blond blue girl’. But I like compliments and I will never be angry at it.

[GoldenAxer]

That never happened to me since my eyes are just brown. I think it's the blue/green types that get confused. But I think I wouldn't mind so much because people give me compliments that are off all the time, like, "You're so smart!" They made a huge mistake. But I know they mean well, and I appreciate the gesture.

[EmbraceThePain]

Well, I have very dark brown eyes that appear black most of the time. So, I doubt someone would get the color of them wrong. If they did, I’d say something humorous like “Well, I don’t know if your compliment would change, but my eyes are actually [insert actual color].”

[aWes0MeNeSs]

I would still appreciate it, because they still thought they were pretty enough to compliment regardless of color.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I'd probably be a smartass about it lolol I mean my eyes are blue, kinda hard not to be able to tell that🤷 lol

[WeepingMoth]

My eyes are hazel but get mistaken for brown often. Its OK I just correct them and explain that they're hazel. I'd still take the compliment though. I've gotten compliments about my eyes when they look more green however and that definitely feels really nice! My eyes look best when they're on the greener side but that really depends on the lighting.

I would be confused but I would still be flattered. But there's no way someone could be wrong about the color of my eyes. It's pretty obvious Lol

[Still-alive]

Are they purple?

Jk lol

[menina]

I wish Lol

[valentina4eva]

i would death glare them and then make fun of them lol

[Still-alive]

Your eyes are beige right? ;P

[valentina4eva]

😤😤😤

[SecretsofKB]

My eyes are very blue... you mess that up... that's on you lol

[Still-alive]

im gonna mess em up on purpose hehe ;)

[SecretsofKB]

👀 better not lol

[RasberrySlushPuppy]

"if your eyes aren't black, i'll give you a black eye on purpose"

[Alyssa11]

I’ve had that happen to me so many times before lol. I just stay quiet oh well.

[Still-alive]

you aren't offended or think less of them? lol

[Alyssa11]

No it’s a compliment so that’s nice! Lol

[SnakeBoop]

I mean, how shjtty of them to choose something they don't even know what the truth is to compliment.
But I'd also throw a compliment back at them with the wrong details and hopefully the awkwardness either kills or saves the interaction XD

[TwistedSukuna]

I've had someone tell me they've never seen someone with black eyes before. They're actually brown but apparently they can look that dark in certain lighting lol

[Dude_777]

I do it all the time. I am pretty mischievous person, and even call them different names, and give compliments that are totally irrelevant. It's fun.

If same happened to me, i would just laugh it off and take it as mischief.

[Rachelspiks]

That actually happened to me once. Someone thought I had "beautiful blue eyes". I don't have blue eyes though; they're grey. Oops.

[electromagnetic]

They’ve got to be a real bucket head to confuse my eye colour. I’ll just say ‘oh they’re brown’ and keep it pushing.

[TrueConfection]

I get that a lot.

Most of the time I get stared at and asked, "What... color... ARE... your eyes?"

[NathanDavis]

I would find it interesting, since my eyes are quite dark and pretty much black... not sure you how can mistaken that

[Kaneki05]

Eye colours actually change and/or look different to other people. Therefore i would assume that was the reason.

[RolandCuthbert]

Well, its hard! Men aren't good at colors. Believe me, I know!

[Sualina]

I would just tell the person thank you and be grateful, then correct them; not that hard.

[igaveyouanickname]

I'd appreciate it but tease them too. Teasing is flirty fun.

[JosyJosy]

I'd still appreciate it. And if he got the color wrong he's either bad with colors or my eyes are just that magical ;) I would feel good regardless

[Kdizzle85]

Just compliment them to be nice and give them the benefit of a doubt.
