Just plain green.

@Twice A strange fact, green eyes aren't actually green, and blue eyes aren't actually blue. There is a part of the eye behind the iris which contains pigment, but there's only one color it might contain, which is brown. Depending on your genes, you either have brown pigment, or no pigment at all. But even if you haven't got the pigment, the empty eye part is still there. It's shaped in a certain way that it reflects back only blue light. So people with blue eyes actually have clear eyes, but that eye part is reflecting blue light back. People with green eyes also have those empty pigment parts, but they have green eyes because of a different gene which can cause a yellow pigment in a different part of the eye, and blue plus yellow equals green.
