For a subtle change on dark brown eyes, start by comparing brown shades close to your iris color. A gray shade can create more contrast. The result depends on the lens pattern, your eye color, and the lighting, so look at photos of the exact style before you choose.

Which brown contacts should I compare first?

Start with Crystal Brown for a warm brown pattern with a softly shaded edge. Compare it with Coko Brown, Lily Brown, and Rime Brown using the product galleries. These measurements are total lens diameters.

• Crystal Brown · 14.2 mm
• Coko Brown · 14.0 mm
• Lily Brown · 14.5 mm
• Rime Brown · 14.5 mm

Dark Elf Brown vs. Dark Elf Grey

Dark Elf Brown and Dark Elf Grey both list a 14.5 mm total lens diameter. Choose the gallery that matches the finish you want to compare. Where available, use photos taken under similar lighting and on an iris close to your own color.

What should I check in the photos and specs?

Use a close-up to compare the print and edge of the lens, and a full-face photo to judge the overall color. If the product lists a graphic diameter, it measures the printed area. The total lens diameter measures the whole lens. Confirm the fit and measurements with your eye care professional.
