Science: What Your Eye Color Reveals About You

Your-Eye-Color-and-Personality

Did you know that no two people have the exact same eye color? It’s true! Did you know that every person who has blue eyes comes from the same ancestor? Everyone with blue eyes has a very specific DNA difference. Many of us know that when most babies are first born, their eyes are a hazy bluish color, and then they change into whatever color will be that baby’s permanent eye color. The reason for that is because an infant has almost no melanin in his or her eyes. This changes very quickly though. There are also many things that your eye color reveals about you.

Long ago, brown eye color was considered to be the dominant one. However, now scientists know that your eye color is a multi-gene trait, not a single-gene trait. So, it’s a little more complicated than to simply say that brown eye color is dominant. It’s more of a gene combination. It is even genetically possible to have your eye color divided into two colors on your iris, or two different color irises.

Also, did you know your eye color can change over time? Since the eyes don’t constantly produce pigment, they can become lighter or darker as time goes on. You can see all of these facts and more illustrated in this fun infographic below by Mezzmer. Since our eyes obviously tell so much about us, it will make me think twice before wearing colored contacts. Whether your eyes are brown, blue, green or gray, you can be proud knowing that your eye color truly says a lot about our ancestry.

So if everyone with blue eyes comes from 1 descendant, and I have brown eyes, but my great grandfather had blue eyes, does that mean I have the blue eyed DNA in me as well?

.-. I don’t quite comprehend it all yet. Also my eyes change color a LOT. I saw myself in the mirror at school and they were like a yellow/light brown. I could see my pupil clearly—yet most times they are brown or close to dark brown.

both my eyes are two colors! on the outside they are blue and on the inside (near the pupil) they are tan.

What about eye color changing over time? Not just the shade of the color. My eyes used to be dark brown, and now they’re mostly green with a bit of hazel around the center.

I think my eyes change color. Because sometimes when i look closely in the mirror my eyes are so dark it’s almost impossible to see my pupil. But sometimes my eyes are a lighter shade of brown and I can definitely see my pupil.

what does it mean if i have blue green eyes?

I love my rare green eyes! My eyes are a very vivid shade slightly lighter than forest green, but have a ring of brown-gold around the pupil that makes them look amber in very low light. Do I have heterochromia? I read once that it’s a condition called “Minimal Central Heterochromia” but I’m not sure how reliable the source was.

They’re especially strange because everyone else in my family (my parents, and both brothers) have brown eyes, and so do both paternal grandparents and my maternal grandmother. My paternal grandfather has blue-green. The science of genetics has always fascinated me.

I’m happy to know that i have black eyes, considering that they are the most rare next to Albinos

My eyes: One green with brown streaks, and the other green. I’d be very interested in the theory for that. XD

My eyes are green on the outside and brown on the inside.

I have green and blue eyes with a hint of yellow. My eyes are constantly changing from blue eyes to green eyes and it all depends if you look up close or far away from me.

My eyes are really weird. One day, they’ll be this strange gray-green-blue color, the next they’re ocean blue, then they’re stormy gray, then they’re gray-blue, and then the change to gray-green, and finally green-blue. Not neccessarily in that order. Often, they change to the greenish hues when I feel a strong feeling, like anger, excitement, or have an extreme adrenaline rush. Sometimes, when I’m exhausted they turn to one of the gray shades, and when I’m merely contented, they turn blue-green, gray-green, or blue-gray-green. I also have a gold-colored ring around both of by pupils that looks like the “ring of fire” during an eclipse. I AM SO CONFUSED!!!

Adding to that, when I was little, my mother said that I had hazel eyes… She has a mix of olive/hazel, and the rest of my family has bright blue eyes, except for a few relatives with olive eyes.

My eyes are a light whiteish color, a thin color of green? On top of it and golden lumps forming a circle around my pupil

I’m Native American & Celtic ancestry, my eyes are green. I’ve known two African American men with green eyes. I know some other Native people with green or blue eyes. One girl with light blue eyes, one guy with dark blue eyes, and here’s the interesting thing: If all people with blue eyes have the same ancestor, then how do you explain a blonde female occupant of a UFO with the deepest blue eyes I’ve ever seen? Hmmm… The plot thickens.

I cant truly tell if my eyes are blue or green. I think they change color because sometimes when i look in the mirror they are green/hazel green blue/green amber/brown and blue/gray. Sometimes they even turn purple but not often. Is this genetic or just the lighting?

Aimee

But they are mostly blue green. Even though i love my eyes.. i want to make them brighter too. Is there any way to do this????

I’m confused I me a guy with dark center colored eyes an the rim was shades of grey blue an green it almost looked iridescent ill been told my eyes do the same when its extremely hot. Both him an cant see this change an in the mirror all we see is a grey outer rim . Kinda crazy but if u ask any1 they all say idk what color that is its all kinds of colors. My grandma Native American blue an yellow eyes that changed green an grey my mom drk brown an grey. I never knew of this change is it normal to not see it for myself.

How about eyes that don’t make any sense.

Even DNA typing gets this wrong. TWO DNA tests and each say blue, no way are they blue. Or the pale featureless blue they are supposed to be.

I don’t think the chart is entirely correct. Both my parents have brown eyes (Father has light brown). I have green eyes. My sister has Hazel.
