brown eyes

Hazel's darker cousin

Brown eyes are eyes with brown irises, the most common eye color worldwide.

The phrase often appears in descriptions of appearance or as a term of endearment: Hey there, brown eyes.

In song lyrics and poetry, brown eyes carry warmth and earthiness, contrasting with the mystery often assigned to blue or green.
