My skin is kind of sort of brownish
Pinkish yellowish white.
My eyes are grayish blueish green,
But I'm told they look orange in the night.
My hair is reddish blondish brown,
But it's silver when it's wet.
And all the colors I am inside
After mentioning various colors that human eyes can be, the speaker goes on to say that his eyes appear “orange in the night.” Orange eyes are not characteristic of people, but are often found on animals. Perhaps Silverstein added in the color orange to point out that, just as all people share fundamental qualities with one another, animals share many commonalities with us as well. Many common ties that bond people together are present in animals too. Ultimately, all living beings are connected through the experience of being alive. The speaker is not necessarily human. It could be an animal, and the message of the poem would still be equally as valuable and applicable to all living beings. 
 This photo shows the stunning orange eyes of the Ring-Tailed Lemur, and it also captures the close, nurturing relationship between a mother and her child. This image of familial care is an example of a common aspect of life that humans and animals share.
