Violet? wtf?
Liz Taylor.
Wow, I never noticed. Beautiful.
Likely people with Albinism.
Put me in the 1% of red eye havers (I smoke weed everyday)
I got the green eyes. Didn’t know it was so rare.
You’re also just rare
Its gonna be heavily dependent on location. Green eyes in Ireland… Way more common than say in Thailand
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.
I have lightish brown hair, my eyes used to be brown but are now hazel brown, and I have a reddish brown beard. My shits all over the place.
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.
Can I ask what color your kid’s freckles are? I ask, because the redheads in my family have orange freckles, and the non-redheads have brown freckles. It looks like that correlates with the type of melanin, which would also affect whether they tan.
Brown… that may explain it?
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.
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.
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
That is accurate assuming that eye color is defined by only 2 genes, but in actuality it’s more, possibly as many as 50 different genes.
Punitt squares, haven’t missed those.
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
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.
That makes them hazel. Right?
Funny thing is that I am not even sure what the definition of hazel is, so I don’t know. I haven’t tried to find out, tbh.
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
That’s what “gray” eyes are.
You probably have grey eyes then. It has shades of blue and green
That’s what people mean by gray eyes. I learned this a few years back. They don’t actuallyook gray. My eyes are technically “gray” as well.
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.
TIL I’m in the 2%
Missed opportunity:
Green eye gang reporting in
Hazel here, but slowly converting to green team it seems.
Age be a thing. Hazel green, reporting in.
+1 5%
No black? I thought half of the world’s population has black eyes
That’s just dark brown.
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.
The centre being all black would have added a nice touch
Anything whitewashable will be whitewashed
Maybe I’m an idiot, but I shouldn’t the colors for amber and hazel be reversed?
