ooliEye colour percentages around the world
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
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.
GloomyThat’s normal and unrelated. It takes about 6 to i months for the final eye colour to manifest on children.
That’s my eye color description. Like a gray-blue.
Bright blue until I was at least in my teens. Faded to grey by the time I was in my 30s.
Violet? wtf?
Likely people with Albinism.

Age be a thing. Hazel green, reporting in.
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 brown hair and brown eyes. My wife has blond hair and green great eyes. We have a son with red hair and blue eyes. And yes he is my son. Genetics are weird.
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?
swab148That’s me! I have dark brown hair and green eyes!
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.
I did not know naturally occuring red eyes existed.
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.
Albinos
oh. I guess I knew about that.
dsilverzFun 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
Punitt squares, haven’t missed those.
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.
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
Missed opportunity:
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.
AussiemandeusYeah 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
JackbyDevThat’s what “gray” eyes are.
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.
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.
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.
+1 5%
TIL I’m in the 2%
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
Silver-cyan here
ColdWaterNo black? I thought half of the world’s population has black eyes
Tlaloc_TemporalThat’s just dark brown.
Can you post a pic of someone with black eyes? That sounds wild, and I’m curious what its like in your world where half of people just have pupils and no iris.
Maybe I’m an idiot, but I shouldn’t the colors for amber and hazel be reversed,?
Majority gang!
tetris11I like your white car
This chart could have really used some pictures of eyes of each colour…
Yeah, but someone would be offended by some perceived DEI lack.

I want to see a photo!
