Anybody else have a hard time telling what color people's eyes are??

I think I'm pretty similar...definitely with clothes, and eye color doesn't stand out for people I know but I'd have a good guess. With faces--I'll likely forget someone I've just met (could be an attention problem)...with people I know, some are distinct but others have a mutable appearance in my head...it's like there's nothing to grab onto, or they don't stick. Even some people I know well I can't picture clearly...not sure what all the factors are but it may tend to be ones whose appearance varies more in real life, or whose features to me aren't distinct or interesting enough to fully register. Some are more chameleon like than others. Another thing could be if you've known someone a long time your memory is a murky composite of all the ways they've looked over the years, or it's a particular look from whatever time period that's in your mind, and now they're different. Memory is weird...I'm generally better with non visual information.
