i would call them green.
to me hazel is more brown in overall appearance, with hints of green but that could be wrong.

here's the definition of hazel from wikipedia:
[edit] Hazel
Some eye colors are too mixed to identify properly, and are called hazel for simplicity's sake. This eye is dark gray with orange toward the center and green towards the edge.
Hazel eyes are due to a combination of a Rayleigh scattering and a moderate amount of melanin in the iris' anterior border layer.[24][5] A number of studies using three-point scales have assigned "hazel" to be the medium-color between light brown and dark green.[25][26][27][28][29][30][31] This can sometimes produce a multicolored iris, i.e., an eye that is light brown near the pupil and charcoal or amber/dark green on the outer part of the iris when it is open to the elements of the sun/shined in the sunlight. Hazel is mostly found in the regions of The Middle East, the Americas and Europe. Very rarely, hazel eyes can be found in populations of people with African or Asian descent.
This eye shows an outer green olive color, and towards the middle a brown.
There is some difficulty in defining the eye color "hazel" as it is sometimes considered to be synonymous with light-brown and other times with dark green.[32][19][25][27][30][33] They have been described as dark green or yellowish brown,[34] or as a lighter shade of brown.[35] Hazel eyes have also been described as being equivalent to a dark green or amber color eyes/light brown.[36] In North America, "hazel" is often used to describe eyes that appear to change color, ranging from light brown to green and even gray, depending on current lighting in the environment.
my eyes are similarly colored to yours, and i've always been told they're hazel.
