Serbian eye colour

**hajduk** · 03-15-2012, 01:04 PM

Journeyman i wrote that average Serb from Serbia from what ive seen has
medium brown hair and light (or light mixed) eyes .

Just out of curiosity I wonder are brown eyes perceived as exotic in Serbia?

Most Serbs I met had either blue or green hazelish eyes, so I agree with Sorab that light eyes are most common among Serbians

Though, I would say Serbs are most definitely closer to 49% than 20%. When it comes to this map, I am not certain about Croatia but OK.

That pigmentation map is not accurate. I've been to some part of Northern Poland and they have the same amount of light eyes as their Southern counterparts.

I'd say it's close to accurate but not completely accurate. If anything, northern Serbs should have the same percentage of light eyes as Croats.

Map is inaccurate like most of such maps...
In reality highest concentration of light eyes among Serbs are in central Serbia
(Šumadija,Pomoravlje ) then western (Užice ,Valjevo ,Požega ) also parts of southeastern
Leskovac,Vranje etc)and southwestern (Raška oblast).In the north this varies more with less consistency.In towns generally it ranges from 40-60 % (blue ,green ,gray ,light mixed ) and up to 90 % in some rural areas.

And you base this on which research? Sorab population research 2012 based on 100 people you have seen?

Very funny ...I ve been to almost every part of Serbia in past 3-4 years and its
no mystery that map is inaccurate.Everyone who visited the above mentioned parts can aknowledge what i wrote from a very superficial observation .
