It is estimated that only 2 percent of the world's population has true green eyes. Are you among them?
Green eye color applies to the most attractive eye color in the world. At Guy Counseling asked 90,000 online visitors in 2017 which eye color they think is the most attractive. What 42.8 percent he thinks it's the color green. Follow her Light Blue (22,59 %), hazel color (17,33 %), dark blue (10,2 %), brown (5 %) , grey (2 %), the color of amethyst ( 2 %) and amber color (1 %).
Many people are therefore also interested in where does the green eye color come from. Eye color is determined by 2 factors: iris pigmentation and the way light scatters around the iris. A quick look at both: iris pigmentation can run the gamut from the darkest color, black, to the lightest color, blue. It has a great influence on pigmentation melanin. The appearance of shades of green (i.e. the color of jade, hazel, emerald) is the result of a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering, which is a term that describes how light scatters after traveling its wavelength. Many people mistakenly think that colors like blue and green are in the iris, but they are not. Your eye color actually is depends on how the light scatters over the melanin base, which is genetically determined.
