    Default Why are the Portuguese the darkest Europeans?

    According to a study i have made, which contains more than 1000 personalities per country, the portuguese have a 10,5% blue,gray and green eyes.
    I present the results for light eyes below

    Portugal 10,5%
    Spain 13,5%
    Greece 13,5%
    Italy 17%

    The lightest group of south Europeans in relation to eye colour were the North Italians, whith a 20-25% depending on the region.

    Why does it bother you, who cares. Like being light or dark is a win, get a life, go drink a beer.

    What do you count as green is a good question.

    Otherwise it's a question that hasn't any sense.

    The light characteristics are definable. I for example have Green eyes. U can see at my thread ''Classify me, Greek man from Epirus'' . I definately didnt use double standards, nor do i have anything against Portuguese people, i in fact like them, i have seen no bad from them.Though the personalities in my study, were people that their wikipedia page said they ethnicaly originate from the mentioned south European countries. I obviously didnt count personalities whose parents were born outside of these countries.

    I didnt include people from the madieras and the atlantic islands, i didnt include the Canaries for Spain, and in didnt include Cyprus for Greece.

    Did you count very light hazel eyes (like those with a central heterochromia but overall predominant pure green pigment ?).

    I would ask the same thing for blue eyes since brown central heterochromia (sometimes with yellow) exists as well with this color.

    The slightest sign of light colour that i could identify in the irishes of both eyes, i counted as ''light'' , even those with central heterochromia.
    The issue is i didnt have double standards between the countries, nor was i preoccupied with The Portuguese, or with any other country. I used the same computer all along so the i didnt have screen light issues. This study took me 2 years. I studied most south European countries. At least the Major. I have percentages for Albania, Serbia and Bulgaria, which i will release in a future post.

    Ok good then. It's a good thing to count those with central heterochromia because indeed they are light and the brown/yellow part is often very light and "light-admixed" so not even noticeable in the extreme majority of life situations.

    Edit : Not surprising that you found 12% of Light Eyes for the South (Italy) there are plenty light eyed Campanians, Apulians or Sicilians.

    Yes, i found neglectible difference between central and south Italy, but the northern Italians were visibly lighter. To be clear to u i didnt count those with Germanic(Austrian) sounding surnames in the north Italians, but they were like 1/100 of the north Italians. Listen dude , i dont love the north Italians, because they mostly descriminate on the southern, and callin them mafiozi and zingari, but nuetrality is nuetrality and truth is truth. I would have no reason to present the Portuguese with half the percentage of North Italians.
