If you had to divide eyes into "light" and "dark", what would you categorize these?

Pls don't respond with "neither" or "they're hazel"

I can barely see them. They look hazel-ish to me, though (sorry!) so I'll say they're dark.

hue is dark (brown) but transparency is light, lighter than in some darker blue eyes.

so it is light brown but is it light or dark eyes or mixed? dunno. voted dark since although they are "light", they aren't neither blue/grey nor green in colour.

Light part is larger than the dark part by quite a large margin. Officially they might be considered hazel, but i think they're light because the dark part is much smaller.

Dark. Just because they seem a bit lighter in comparison with some deeper shades of brown that many members of the parliament have, that doesn't mean you should lump it together with light eyes. If the resulting % of light eyes is low, it's low. Stop trying to do categorical actobatics to get a higher percentage. Just accept reality instead.

Dark but to some southern Europeans they may seem light.

Similarly many south Europeans consider blonde hair what to northern Europeans is light brown hair .

Largely depends on who you ask. User Ikiru made a thread with eye colour statistics for parliaments of various countries. He quite clearly defined his categorization of the light and light mixed with the following statement and chart:
"I defined eye color as light and light-mixed when lighter than 7 included on the Martin Schultz scale. "
https://www.theapricity.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=88240&d=1558908896

Now compare the chart to this woman's eyes. I'd say hers are more like somewhere around 11-10-9 on that scale, maybe appearing almost more like an 8 when in direct sunlight or right in front of a photographers strong flash (like in the OP pic). But even in such an over-exposed pro picture I'd say she's not within Ikiru's criteria for light and light mixed eyes. And as I said, on most pictures her eyes seem significantly darker compared to the picture in OP. Here's more pics (yes, that's the same woman):

If you ask me, eyes that are genuinely light don't need to have their pics cherrypicked to appear that way.

to me all green/mixed green and blue/gray eyes are automatically light.
is this light or dark in your opinion?

They aren't light but also aren't dark. Mixed eyes but closer to dark for sure.

In a European context; they are dark eyes. I'm hazel eyed and I wouldn't say I'm light eyed when I'm surrounded by people with blue, green and grey eyes.

To me, yours seem green tending towards grey, while hers seem green tending towards amber. Grey (even dark shades) is more depigmented than amber tones (regardless of how light they can sometimes appear), so I'd say your eyes are closer to being defined as light compared to the woman in OP. Your eyes could be 7 on that chart.

If you see the pupil easily in contrast to the color of the eye you are light eyes here and in China.

All the pics you posted of her are of low quality and they still appear dark grey to me. In no way are these light brown eyes (9 or 11). Scales were designed to measure eyes on live subjects.

What reality are you talking about? Reality here is totally subjective. I didn't say what number on Marti Schulz scale would you categorize them, I said if you had to choose light or dark what would it be.

If one were to use the Martin scale instead I think they look more similar to #8 as it clearly has small brownish ring around the pupil and #7 is mostly brown.

And they aren't just lighter than some deeper shades of brown, they're lighter than light brown and even mostly-dark hazel eyes.

Eye color chart (Martin scale)

Carleton Coon created a chart by the original Martin scale. The numbering is reversed on the scale below in the (later) Martin–Schultz scale, which is (still) used in physical anthropology.

Light and light-mixed eyes (16–12 in Martin scale)

Pure light (16–15 in Martin scale)

16: pure light blue
15: gray

If a photo is of low quality and taken in a very dark space even blue eyes can look dark.
This woman seems to have a colour between green and grey.

How about these eyes? IMO it's retarded calling them dark.
