Do you think it's possible that they just appear less vivid because the rest of your coloring isn't as stark of a contrast to the eyes anymore? What I'm saying is that skin and hair color become less vivid and washed out. Often blue eyes look more vivid on a dark haired person----or someone with very pale skin and hair. These are the people who have the winter or spring coloring. As they age, their hair often isn't as dark because it becomes grey or they dye it lighter to cover the grey. Their coloring isn't as sharp and becomes more a summer fall coloring because hair and skin color become muted.
It might be possible. It could also be possible that I'm so used to seeing my eye color when I look in the mirror that they don't stand out to me like they used to. I do know that I haven't lightened my hair in any way and thankfully there isn't any grey yet. So my hair color is pretty much the same color it was 25 years ago. (I did dye my hair lighter once back then, but I let it grow out shortly afterwards.) My skin color might be a bit darker now than it was back when. I know I definately have more of that dark circling around my eyes then I once did.
Whatever the reason is, I just know that my eyes don't look as vivid as they once did.
I have green eyes. My mother had brown and father has blue. My kids have green eyes. Their dad has brown eyes. I don't know of any other relative beyond my one brother with green eyes. My other 2 brothers have brown eyes.

True green eyes are unusual and are usually due to mutations of the OCA gene, this would explain why so many people people in your family have it. In all likelihood if you are of northern European decent it was a mutation carried by your mother, since blue eyed people rarely care that mutation without expressing it.
I have green eyes... everyone else in the family has brown, including both parents.
I am also the only one without dark brown hair.
I have green eyes too. Three of my siblings have brown and one has hazel. My mother had brown. My father had very pale blue, like water. I was the only blonde child. My father was a blonde. Everyone else had/has brown hair.
In my family there are blue eyes and hazel eyes. In my husband's family, everyone has blue or green eyes. Our daughter had blue /gray eyes. She is 21 now with green eyes...and they are beautiful.
Both my parents are blue eyed blonds....I was born with dark hair and dark brown eyes....my hair turned blonde and my eyes turned blue.
I have blue eyes, father of my child has green eyes, she ended up with blue eyes - she is very Finnish looking with blue eyes and blond hair! (but her hair will turn dark when she gets older, late teens or so, exact same thing happened to me and her father)
