Eye and hair colour distribution among 282 Dutch women + average results based on both sexes

This is the sequel to this thread:

Mentioning my criteria once again:
I've always had a pretty clear criterion of blondism (even when I didn't know anything about anthropology) which actually matches the Fischer-Saller scale. What I consider blond includes the nuances listed on it. Yellowish colour of one or another form is my idea of blondism (even wikipedia agrees with me ):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blond
If a person has light hair lacking these tones I call that light brown, not blond.
Orange and similar reddish blond shades affect both blondism and rufosity rate.
Here is the scale I used. Colours A to O are what I count as blond.
The numbers V and VI reflect reddish blond hair and affect both blondism and rufosity values. Deeper orange shades I also include as reddish blond.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fische...93Saller_scale
Other hair colours in my view:
- light brown
- medium brown (including medium ash brown nuances)
- dark brown (again including some dark ash brown forms)
- black
- reddish brown
- pure red
To estimate the eye colours distribution I use the Martin-Schultz scale. Green eyes with brown spots when green dominates I count as light. Evenly mixed green-brown shades and such where brown dominates I consider hazel and don't count as light.
The Martin-Schultz scale includes:
1-2 : blue iris (1a, 1b, 1c, 2a : light blue iris - 2b : darker blue iris)
3 : blue-gray iris
4 : gray iris (4a, 4b)
5 : blue-gray iris with yellow/brown spots
6 : gray-green iris with yellow/brown spots
7 : green iris
8 : green iris with yellow/brown spots
9-10-11 : light-brown and hazel iris
12-13 : medium brown iris
14-15-16 : dark-brown and black iris
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin...3Schultz_scale
Colours 1-8 I consider light. 9 is where non-light eyes begin for me.
I based my results for Dutch women on females from three various professional fields - 65 volleyball players and former such (What happened to Ingrid Visser and her boyfriend Lodewijk Severein is beyond terrible. May they rest in peace!), 151 football players, and 66 models.
I excluded women of partly (and, of course, fully) Sub-Saharan or Southeast Asian origin with one big exception - model Dewi Driegen whose photos you see below:


She is 1/8 Indonesian but phenotypically fits easily as fully European (and fully Dutch).
I also excluded Sub-Nordid Victoria Pelova representing The Netherlands' football team because she is Bulgarian by origin.
I included two volleyballers born in Belgium. It's clearly stated their mother is Dutch and, given their surname Staelens, I believe their father must be at least partly (if not entirely) of Dutch descent, too.
One woman in my survey is 1/2 Dutch and 1/2 French. One model is 1/2 Dutch, 1/2 English.
I allowed myself to include one half Dutch/half Moroccan as the woman's phenotype is a Dinarid/Atlantid mix and these elements are found among fully Dutch people (despite being more southern than the common NW look) and her brother also has a European phenotype found in The Netherlands - Paleo Atlantid. She has green eyes and medium brown hair.
One woman I included is half Dutch/half Turkish who ended up with a Dinarid appearance.
Women I based my study on:
Here is the current national volleyball team

Notable former volleyball players
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nether...olleyball_team
National football team including recent call-ups
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nether..._football_team
Eredivisie clubs that became part of my study are Achilles ’29, ADO Den Haag, Ajax, Az Alkmaar, Excelsior, Heerenveen, Zwolle, PSV Eindhoven and Roda.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catego..._(women)_teams
I then switched to models.
I reached the 282 number (same as that of males) with Angela Visser and I didn't count the last few models after her.

Here are the ladies' results:
Eye colour distribution:
Blue – 124 (43,97%)
Blue-green – 4 (1,42%)
Blue-grey – 16 (5,67%)
Grey-green – 20 (7,09%)
Grey – 52 (18,44%)
Green – 22 (7,8%)
Hazel – 18 (6,38%)
Brown – 25 (8,87%)
Black – 1 (0,36%)
Total amount of light eyes: 84,39% (238 individuals). Out of all nations I have studied so far the Dutch seem to have the most even light eyes proportions, males scoring 84,75%.
Non-light (hazel, brown and black): 15,61% (44 individuals). The black-eyed woman is fully Dutch by origin. So far the Irish remain the only nationality of those I have based a survey on among members of which I haven't found a single black-eyed individual. Still, Dutch of both sexes score as lighter-eyed in overall.
Blue and blue-mixed light eyes combined: 51,06% (144 women)
Grey and grey-mixed light eyes total: 31,2% (88 women). Dutch women score lower at blue eyes rate than their male counterparts but surpass them at grey eyes percentage. The 18,03% frequency of pure grey eyes I found among Irish women is exceeded by Dutch ladies (18,44%).

Hair colour distribution:
Blonde – 84 (29,79%)
Reddish blonde – 2 (0,71%)
Red – 1 (0,35%)
Reddish brown – 3 (1,06%)
Light brown – 35 (12,41%)
Medium brown – 63 (22,34%)
Medium ash brown – 38 (13,48%)
Dark brown – 39 (13,83%)
Dark ash brown – 8 (2,84%)
Black – 9 (3,19%)
Total blondism rate: 30,5% (86 women)
Total rufosity percentage: 2,12% (6 individuals)
Total brown hair frequency: 65,96% (186 women)
Medium brown shades percentage (including the ashy tones): 35,82% (101 individuals)
Dark brown shades (including ashy nuances): 16,67% (47 people)
Dark hair (dark brown shades + black): 19,86% (56 individuals)

The phenotypes I saw among Dutch women are the same I found among their male compatriots and the importance of each of them for the entire phenotypical mix is similar. Trønder and Dinarid features seem slightly more common among women. Other than that, what I said here is pretty accurate for ladies, too:

Indeed, the Dutch are the blondest people in the world apart from Scandinavians and Estonians.

Adds to almost exactly as ToeKneeHwin found for "blond" - 41%

Seeing his maps it's obvious he mistakenly counted light brown together with blond in the case of Northern Europe.
However, his standard for the south seems very different and I would even say too strict.
His ''light hair'' includes a lot of medium shades for Northern Europe.
For the south he doesn't seem to count medium nuances as light though (much different criterion again):

Here are my estimations for Dutch and Italian men for comparison to illustrate my point:
Blond, red/reddish and light brown hair combined
Dutch - 38,29%
Italian - 7,3%
Adding medium brown shades to the above-mentioned
Dutch - 79,08%
Italian - 39,87%

So I would definitely say his criterion for southerners and northerners isn't the same.

Yes he counted light brown with blond. His number for Sweden adds up almost exactly as Blond+Light brown in the 19-29 category for men (he did his study on 20-30 yearold men):

Interesting.
