The center eye of the grapic not being brown is kinda ironic. Not gunna lie.
The stats are there!!!
Would be cooler to overlay a copy of the chart onto they eye in hue mode.
Maybe I’m an idiot, but I shouldn’t the colors for amber and hazel be reversed?
No black? I thought half of the world’s population has black eyes
Silver-cyan here
TIL I’m in the 2%
Fun fact: the brown-eyed percentage (70-79%) seems to approximately fit the following genetics rule:
+ A a A AA Aa a Aa aaAA = 25%
aa = 25%
Aa = 50%
50% of Aa + 25% of either aa or AA = 75% probability
I did not know naturally occuring red eyes existed.
Albinos
oh. I guess I knew about that.
Some people may appear to have red or violet eyes since the lack of melanin allows underlying blood vessels to show.
The eyes in that one image look cool.
My partner tells me that my eyes fluctuate between blue and green. I can’t really tell for sure. I always go look in the mirror when she comments about them. Maybe I should start taking selfies to compare.
Mine are similar, they’re normally light brown but people tell me they look green sometimes when the light hits them at a certain angle.
You probably have grey eyes then. It has shades of blue and green
Yeah mine do something similar but they are most certainly green on a normal day.
I think it’s refraction off of shirts etc that give a bluish look
Missed opportunity:
Mutant Genes:
Red hair and brown eyes is unusual. Red hair is a recessive trait but brown eyes tend to be dominate. Hair color and eye color are one the same gene, MC1R. So if you have a dominate hair color you tend to have a dominate eye color, brown hair and brown eyes for example. People who have red hair and brown eyes have a mutated gene so the recessive red hair is attached to the dominate brown eyes.
The same concept goes the other way, like people with green eyes and brown hair.
Lots of people in my family have red hair/brown eyes because of this. It doesn’t skip around like it does in some families.
That’s me! I have dark brown hair and green eyes!
My wife has brown hair, brown eyes and an olive skin complexion. I’m your typical scandi with reddish-blonde hair, blue eyes, skin that burns like paper. Our child has brown eyes, red hair and olive skin that actually tans. It’s bizarre.
I have brown hair and brown eyes. My wife has blond hair and green gray eyes. We have a son with red hair and blue eyes. And yes he is my son. Genetics are weird.

Green eye gang reporting in
Hazel here, but slowly converting to green team it seems.
Violet? wtf?
Liz Taylor.
Likely people with Albinism.
Can eye color change with age? I just checked for the first time in many years and its not what I remembered. Used to be a thin, fuzzy ring of light brown inside a vague cloudy blue. Now it’s just cloudy, dull blue. Maybe it changes to accommodate lifestyle and personality
Yes especially with age. Both my children’s eye color have changed since birth.
It can change, mostly related to health. For example viruses and diseases can alter iris color.
If it’s cloudy and dull it may also be early stage of clouding of your lenses (cataract).
If you haven’t seen an optometrist recently, you may want to get checked, just to be safe, they can rule out any ongoing problems :)
i wonder where i land on this chart since mine are slightly yellow in the middle and turquoise at the rim
I don’t think this chart applies to cats
Central heterochromia like me. License says "hazel"for eye color
