Genetically, hazel is blue. Your high school biology is right; there are only two eye colors, brown and blue. The problem is that there is a lot of variable expression, a lot of mixing of color. This is how we get green and hazel and why there are so many shades of blue and brown, etc. Hazel is basically blue-green.
