Can eyes change color over time/What color are my eyes?

I have always believed my eyes to be brown, until recently I was looking through old pictures of myself & saw that my eye color has been evolving over time - Is this normal/heard of?

In the above picture I was 4-5 years old, with what I believe to be brown eyes.

Here, I was 11 - eyes are maybe green with a little brown.

Recent picture - I am quite sure my eyes are greenish..but there is a lot of brown near the center.

Not sure what color my eyes are. I'd say green-brown...what do you think?

Update:

(I wasn't wearing any makeup in the first picture. It might seem like it - I have very dark eyelashes & "natural" eyeliner. And in the second picture I was wearing a little mascara, but that's all)

    Can I ask why you were wearing makeup if you were only 4 to 5 in that first picture?

    As to the eye colour--some people just have evolving eye colour. It runs in my family. And the changes have nothing to do with the time of day, or the lighting. My grandma's brother's eyes have gone through more than 5 colour changes over 40 years from almost black to a crystal non-colour now. My aunt's eyes have changed from bright sky blue to storm grey so far (she's 31), and are now developing a gold star burst on the outer edge.

    Your eyes are hazel...very common..they will change color with the different clothes you are wearing and the color of your hair, which obviously changes....the makeup also makes a difference

    I'm having a hard time believing all 3 pictures are of the same person.....the 1st picture od absolutely not of a 5 year old.....the girl in the pic is no younger than 9 or 10...children do not have defined eyebrows at 5 years old......maybe you should put the entire pic up.............or at least down to the nose

    sometimes it can depend on the light, the kind of day, make up, or even the mood you're in. my eyes are sort of indefinable, as they're never just one straight up colour. i like that, it makes them unique (well all eyes are, but you know what i mean, not just 'blue' or 'green' or whatever) my eyes were very blue when i was 3, then when i was about 9-10 they developed some grey, now i'm never sure what colour they are without checking! so you're not strange at all!

    Mine are exactly the same way, not sure why either, but when I was younger they were definately brown, but as I'm getting older I'm seeing a lot more green in them with the brown still at the center.

    They are a beautiful green. They may change over time but on a daily basis they will usually reflect off of the colors you wear.Wearing purple or green (a few other colors too)will make the green in your eyes really POP!

    They're Beautiful!

    Don't stress. Mine change colors through out the day. When I am happy I have teal or brilliant blue, when I am mad they are stormy grey. It is totaly natural.
