TIL I’m in the 2%
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.
Very interesting, thought brown would’ve been bigger.
Violet? wtf?
Likely people with Albinism.
Liz Taylor.
Wow, I never noticed. Beautiful.
Green eye gang reporting in
Hazel here, but slowly converting to green team it seems.
Age be a thing. Hazel green, reporting in.
Missed opportunity:
Silver-cyan here
Maybe I’m an idiot, but I shouldn’t the colors for amber and hazel be reversed?

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
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!
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 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.
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?
No black? I thought half of the world’s population has black eyes
That’s just dark brown.
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 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.
Put me in the 1% of red eye havers (I smoke weed everyday)
