Very subtle, only a hit of color. I like the eye lighter range a little better. This Vivi Ring Choco is barely visible except that the ring increases the size of the pupils. I tried the brown. It is a little more visible but bear in mind the original color of your eyes when you decide on the color you want to buy, My dark pupils darken the shade of the lens quite a fair bit. This lens is as subtle as it gets for dark eyes.
