Eyes color in Romania

[Stears]

Depends on region, Romania is a country made from more historical region, everyone was influenced by someon, if you are goin in a bar in Iași (east Romania), many of the people will be blonde with blue eyes, a lot of east slavic influences, if you will go in Craiova (south Romania) people will become more darker.

Blonde blue eyed people in Iaasi ?

It is a nice joke.

The reality:

Whe you will visit Norht East Romania, and when you will give me a good research about east romanians genetics, I will aprove you.
Saying that all romanians look the same, it's just pathetic.

My Romanian grandfather had light blue eyes and my grandmother had dark brown (her father had green eyes). Bottom line, there is a lot of variety of eye color in Romania and its a mistake to stereotype.

I was going to start a new topic "Pigmentation of Romanians" since I have a lot of data, but I can just post it here instead.

This is from Pittard, 1926

Eye color charts:



"Gray" has very high percentages so it probably includes dark gray (what we call dark green)

Eye color by region:







Eye color map (distribution of dark eyes):



Hair Color:













Another eye color study on smaller sample, but since the numbers for "gray" are different, it likely features a breaking between light and dark gray. It gives overall light eyes at 32%.





My educated guess on Romanian eye color excavated from these studies (men only):

Stacked and overlapping:
Pure Bue 12%
Bue and gray-blue 18%
Blue, gray-blue and light gray (light green) 32%
Blue and all gray (incl. dark gray or green) 45%
Blue, all gray and mixed 58%
....
Pure brown 42%

Something might be wrong with the Eye color statistic. If you add all 3 categories (dark, light and average) you don't get 100% for any region.

AVERAGE is not a category like light and dark, it's just a number calculated based on all individual 12 shades.
