From about.com:
Hazel
A hazel eye.It has been asserted that there is difficulty in defining the color hazel as it sometimes considered to be synonymous with brown and other times with green.[22] Hazel eyes have also been described as light brown or yellowish brown[23] They are the product of moderate amounts of melanin.[4]
Hazel has been subjectively classified as a lighter shade of brown.[24] A number of studies using three-point scales have assigned "hazel" to be the medium-color between brown and blue.[25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Hazel is sometimes grouped with green.[17][25][27][30][32]
Hazel eyes have also been described as being equivalent to green, blue/gray, and yellow combined with brown.[33]
Confusing, but I'd say hazel, too, as the catch-all multicolored eye term.
