Very interesting, thought brown would've been bigger.

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

red/violet
I want to see a photo!
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.
That's wild
I got the green eyes. Didn't know it was so 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.
You're also just rare
Maybe I'm an idiot, but I shouldn't the colors for amber and hazel be reversed?
Heterochromia gang rise up, we are the 1%
You got that mixed up. The 1% are typically the ones that need rising against.
This chart could have really used some pictures of eyes of each colour...

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'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.
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.
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 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.
Same
