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.
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
Wow, that’s crazy. I’m Australian (Australian Dad & Kiwi Mum) but I actually have Irish in my heritage. I am also the only one in the family to have red hair which was apparently a massive coincidence only possible because of DNA that by chance was on both my Mum’s side and my Dad’s side (I don’t know the fine details). Until I was 13-14, my eyes used to change colour between Green and Blue depending on the time of year. Now I’m approaching 23 and my eyes have consistently been green since around 14.

Violet? wtf?
Likely people with Albinism.
Liz Taylor.
Wow, I never noticed. Beautiful.
TIL I’m in the 2%
This chart could have really used some pictures of eyes of each colour…
Yeah, but someone would be offended by some perceived DEI lack.
Very interesting, thought brown would’ve been bigger.
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.
You probably have grey eyes then. It has shades of blue and green
Guess my eyes are gray, then.
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.
Same
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.
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.
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.
Anything whitewashable will be whitewashed
The centre being all black would have added a nice touch
Heterochromia gang rise up, we are the 1%
You got that mixed up. The 1% are typically the ones that need rising against.
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
That’s my eye color description. Like a gray-blue.
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 :)
Yes especially with age. Both my children’s eye color have changed since birth.
That’s normal and unrelated. It takes about 6 to i months for the final eye colour to manifest on children.
Bright blue until I was at least in my teens. Faded to grey by the time I was in my 30s.
red/violet
I want to see a photo!
That’s wild
Weird. Never thought it to be real. In Warhammer 40k, only a populace of a specific planet has those purple eyes. Kinda neat to know that this might have been a super-specific random event (first human settlers of that planet having purple eyes).
I imagine it’s a recessive trait, so even if all the first settlers had it, most people a few generations down would not have it, only if there was an external force driving evolution, meaning people with other eye colours couldn’t reproduce as well.
