Shades of Green

The pigment in a cat’s eyes determines their eye color. The most common colors are yellow, green, and blue, but cats can also have brown, gray, or amber eyes. The color green is created by a combination of blue and yellow pigments in the cat’s iris. The most common shade of green is a mix of 50% yellow and 50% blue. However, the amount of each pigment present can vary, creating lighter or darker shades of green. Below we hope you’ll find the perfect shade to describe your kitty’s peepers.
