Member eye Colour

[Vargtand]

Well the thread about the decreasing number of blue eyed people. Well why not post some pictures of our own eyes.

Now I'll start...

The central area is a bit greener than the picture shows.

I have strange eyes.

Here's mine...

[Jägerstaffel]

So far, I wouldn't know WHAT colour to call the eyes that have been posted. They all look kind of greenbluegreyorange?

[The Lawspeaker]

Here's mine.

[Ulf]

This is an old picture, I don't know why but my eyes are greener now than they used to be. :shrug:

[Addergebroed]

Plain brown... Sue me, Hors.:rolleyes:

[Gooding]

Light greyish blue..isn't that a Celtic eye color,though??

[Æmeric]

Green eyes. Everyone in my fathers family, besides myself & my 3rd son is blue-eyed. My mothers family has a lot of browned people. Both my maternal grandparents were browneyed. I blame that on my grandfather's 1/2 German ancestry & my grandmother's distant Bavarian & Swiss ancestors. My mother was grey-eyed.

[Rudy]

Blue with a little yellow/hazel in the middle.

[Electronic God-Man]

My eye color is very similar to Ulf's. Brown with that yellowish greenish tint going on in places.

I blame the Deitsch.

[SouthernBoy]

My eyes are blue.

[Aemma]

Mine are grey with hints of greenish-yellow flecks about the iris I think. But grey is the colour.

[Spencer]

My eyes are Blue.

[Jägerstaffel]

I love blue eyes. I have two blue eyed boys and hope they spread the gene. :)
Blue eyes skipped a generation in my family, I guess mine are green - even though they never look like one colour.

[Lady L]

Mrs. L's eye ( its brown/red ) :dev2

[Vulpix]

Blue of course, like 99% of my family :p.

Now where was that picture of my eye?

This thread needs a poll :p!

[ItalianFury]

Mine are hazel-green as distinguished from hazel-blue, although I have no picture available at the moment I have a shade of brown around the center (the pupil I believe) that turns a yellowish color when my blood pressure rises, alcohol, love making, anger, passion etc.. makes my eyes brighter...the green in my eyes also turns brighter when the brown turns a bright gold or yellow.

[Treffie]

Blue eyes are striking, on both males and females, I get very jealous sometimes! :mad:

Mine are dark brown, almost black.

[Heimmacht]

Mine are Grey, but there is a little yellow around the Iris when I'm at ease, so then they can look greenish.

[Freomæg]

http://www.theapricity.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=685&stc=1&d=1234827063
Mine are very much like this, but they have this weird kind of dark blue/grey ring on the outside edge. I've only just noticed that it's not a particularly common thing. I like it - gives a very definite edge to my iris. I'd take a picture but I don't think my camera's good enough.

EDIT: Actually scrap that - Brynhild and Loyalist both have a similar outer ring. Striking.

[Hildolf]

Mine are dark brown too. My fathers are green which would be more interesting then brown, but then he's odd, he has black hair too!? (Or did have, he's as bald as a coot now).

[Allenson]

Blue/Green.

[Stossy]

Sort of brown / green I have...

[Sally]

I suppose my eyes are sort of grey-blue, and getting paler and greyer with age.

[Ulf]

My eye as it is now, the other picture is about 2 years old. It seems as I get older I am taking on my mother's traits. She has green eyes and red hair, also I have much more red in my facial hair now than a few years ago, though when I was a child I had red/brown hair and now it is black. :shrug:

Genetic doesn't confirmed such influence in "Russian side". It looks like we Slavs can hide in the forest sometimes:D until 1380 year came and my Russian brothers beat mongols in the Kulikovo battle:thumb001:
It will be fun when you try to beat me:D:D:D No you haven't got such folds...but many Europeans have. Probably some epicenthic eyefolds are connected sometimes with UP/CM types.

I decided to take another pic of my eyes, as I thought the other one was on an older camera and came out more blurry.

My eyes are a bluish grey, I had a better pic than this one, but it seems to have been deleted, so this will have to suffice for now, you can still see the color if you look for it:

Can anyone explain that light yellowy/browny ring around the pupil around my eye? It's odd that from far away my eyes look pure greyish blue, but up close that ring around the pupil shows up. :P

I'm a freak.

It means some of your ancestors has brown eyes.

[Barreldriver]

It means some of your ancestors has brown eyes.


Some did. That's odd though to inherit only a tiny little ring around the pupil instead of a more pronounced blend or dominance.

[Jarl]

Try to attach here mine too:)

Nice pic! You can clearly see the iris and the pigment. You've got light-mixed or grey-green eyes. There is slightly more pigment present than in mine. Id say 10 or 9 on the Martin's scale :)

I think Tabiti is correct. My grandmother had brown eyes. My grandfather had green-grey, and my dad had dark green. My mum had blue-grey, and I got gree-grey. I think the eye colour behaves a bit like a quantitative, polygenic trait. If this is true then the "green eye" alleles would be those that code for little yellow spots and aureolas (instead of a thick layer of brown pigment) which blend with the blue iris and give the eye a green appearance.

[Cato]

Hazel.

[Barreldriver]

Wait a sec, isn't my condition called partial heterochromia or something?



*where the part of one iris is a different color from the remainder (partial heterochromia or sectoral heterochromia)

This would make sense, having a blue/grey predominance with a ring of yellowish brown around the pupil sort of mirrors the eye color variation in my family.

In my mother's family everyone is blue eyed (mostly a dull sort of blue), however in my fathers family the blue eyed people are this piercing blue sky blue with a white ring around the pupil, then the rest are a yellowy brown with bluish grey specs.

My blueish grey predominance resulting from that being the predominance in my immediate family, then the yellowy brown ring from the remainder.

[Tabiti]

Both my parents are with darker eyes (mother - green; father - brown). Mine look green or blue in distance:

[Jarl]

Overall grey-green, but you can see some brown pigment present. Id say Martin's 9 or 8.

Said it before, and says it again I do: Blue, as blue can get:D

[Barreldriver]

Overall grey-green, but you can see some brown pigment present. Id say Martin's 9 or 8.

Where would mine fall on that scale?

Also, do you have a link or a thumbnail of that scale? I tried searching it and got random stuff on eye color, but not the specific Martin-Schultz scale.

[Jarl]

Unfortunstely, its almost impossible to obtain the scale nowadays. Perhaps at auctions. I don't even think they still produce these glass eyeballs. As for my data, I only have rough descriptons from various anthropological handbooks. I posted them in the "Are green eyes Nordics?" thread. They allow to roughly reconstruct the scale.

Your eyes appears light-mixed. There is some brown pigment, but overall blue colour is clearly dominant. The pigment is also concentrated around the pupil, unlike Tabiti's. I am not certain, but they appear slightly greenish, particularly on the first pic. Therefore, I would assume they should correspond to 11 or 10. If this "greenish" impression is incorrect, then it would be 13 or 12.

[Ariets]

:) Light Green-Grey, probably 11th degree on the Marin's scale.


hey Jarl, what would be mine in that scale?

When I went to get my drivers license the BMV clerk thought I had green eyes, so that's what it says on my drivers license lol. So I'd say the greenish impression is correct.

It depends I think on weather they have light or darker blue eyes. Two light blue-eyed parents can't have anything other than blue-eyed children, but two darker blue-eyed parents can have green/grey or other eye-colored kids.

Are the Greeks that live in the countryside fairer, blonder than the city slickers?

[Hussar]

Are the Greeks that live in the countryside fairer, blonder than the city slickers?


Yes, but not by much.

According to various anthropologic analysis light and mixed light eyes combined, don't exceed 15% on the national level.

[Kadu]

Yes, but not by much.

Does that includes green/brown mixes?

[Hussar]

Does that includes green/brown mixes?



Wasn't specified exactly. But was specified clearly that the "dark majority" was constituted by pure dark eyes : pure brown, most often on the dark brown.

comparatively........Portugal resulted to be 75-80% dark eyed ; 8% light eyed, and 15% mixed.
At this point we could divide the "mixed" class in two sub-classes : "light mixed" and "dark mixed".
So, hypothetically, the combination of light + mixed light categories would be 15%, while the dark + mixed dark categories would account for 85% of the total in the case of Portugal.

But this is just ONE kind of methodology to intepretate data. We could use others.

For example we could consider togheter the mixed eyes (without sub-divisions) and light eyes : would be 8% + 15% about.
So........Portugal would have 75-80% of dark eyes and 20-25% of peopls who aren't.

Everything depends from the exact methodology you choice to interpretate data.

Yep, though it depends a lot where you are though. Up in the mountain villages it is not uncommon to see fair hair/eyes. Both of my parents come from (mountain)villages with predominantly fair people. In my fathers village most people have red/orange to light brown hair. My mother's is more mixed but still fairer than average in Greece.
Though from my experience hazel eyes are common in cities too, chances are big that you will run into somebody with green eyes as well.
I was raised in a pretty ordinary village though and I was the only one in my class with blonde hair and used to get called "Frank"(=crusader) by my mates :).

[Sabinae]

My eyes are green, but they tend to have different shades... sometimes in the morning they seem blue...and at evenings, or when I am really tired they have a darker shade of green.

I thought as much. Are the villages in both Macedonia and around Sparta? That's how it is in eastern Serbia where I'm from. My father's village are mostly blond and with that red/orange color of hair like you said which I was born with but turned darker as I aged, thank god :D The more east you go to the Danube the more brunets you will see and less Slavic speakers too.

Humanophage, I'll return the compliment. I think you have a very cool nosebridge and eye combination. There is something quite sculptural and aquiline to it.

My eyes are hazel of the green/brown/amber variety.

[Loxias]

The problem here is not low-quality, but poor focus. You are probably taking the picture from to close to get a proper focus.
I suggest trying it with the camera from further away and cropping afterwards on the computer.

Did you use a zoom?

No, I did not. I simply set my camera to "close up mode" which is supposed to be for objects closer than 28 inches, which did help a little, but it could be much better. Photography is not my forte.

I will try the method you have described later on today, but I have some errands to take care of at the moment.

But, honestly, the pic itself isn't usefull for any precise comment about the exact shade.

Nooo, blue eyes are not rare at all in my country including blond population-but it is different..., and in such colour and such shape and skin aorund of his eyes is something for my personal feeling what I placed as British. And, his eyes are somehow feminine-if you look them you couldn't exactly say are they belong to the man or woman...(no offense please, it is just my remark).
Btw, I removed a pict of your eyes I couldn't stand to stare at me:D, your eyes are not to me something what I could described as British, it is more ordinary, every day European eyes.

The eyelid is full and the eyes are prominent, beautiful, gorgeous, rare and exotic. The eyes are big and usually brown. Some may be hazel persian eyes
Form is important here, not the colour.
