It is: Having a part of your iris having a different color than the rest. It is harmless.

Rarely problematic: If you have acquired a difference in iris color in your adult life, it can mean a problem with degeneration or inflammation of an eye. It is rare. That should be evaluated by your ophthalmologist.
