Switzerland eye colour (Parliament study)

[Septentrion]

With pure light I as referring to blue and grey without brown admixture. Light mixed means mixed eyes that are mostly light.

Light - mixed eyes is a mixture of blue, gray or green with a small admixture of brown
Very light - mixed is blue + gray or green or green + gray
See the difference? This is according to the Martin's scale. Thus it actually depends on the scale used. All I can say is that the Martin's scale is pretty respected.

So eyes like this with a clear yellow or brown ring are not "pure light"?



But then you use the word "gray" to describe what others call light green or medium green eyes, so green eyes like this with no clear brown parts are "pure light"?



Otherwise I don't see how you got a higher percentage of pure light eyes than my total percentage of light eyes. I classified all 5 people in the images above as light-eyed.

You said exactly what I said.

These eyes do not have a significant enough yellow ring to be classified as light mixed imo. Maybe the 3rd and the fourth would be light mixed but not the first two. Perhaps you found different Google search results with more better quality than me, but I found what I based on how the images look liked to me at a time. With better resolution I would get slightly different results with one or two examples, but not by much. Overall I stick the numbers I provided at the beginning.

I don't understand how you got 42.0% blue and gray eyes, but I got only 39.4% light eyes, even though I counted eyes which I consider light green or medium green as light. Or actually I do understand it, because you have said that you call light green eyes gray (following the terminology used by oldschool anthropologists).

Would you classify the two MPs below as gray or light-mixed? I classified them as light-colored (on a two-way scale that consisted of only the options light and dark).

I did the study again this time with a "evenly mixed category" added. I got exactly the same results for light as well as light mixed eyes. (again, I did not Google any member and only used images on the official website) . I stand by my results. If you got only 39% all light eyes, it's you who has too strict standards. This time my "brown" and "dark mixed" category totalled 28,2% which almost exactly as much as Schlaginhaufen got on 35.511 live subjects in 1932 (27.3%). The total figure for light plus light mixed (56.8%) is very similar to what Kollman found on 405.609 live subjects in late 19th century. (59%)

Light green and grey are the same colour. Didn't see any dark green eyes, if I did I would have had a category for them.

shouldnt at all be suprising. The swiss are noticeably darker in my experience than both Germans and Austrians.

According to ToeKneeHwin as well as Xenophobic Prussian study they are about the same (55% light eyes and 30% blond hair). Also according to my parliament studies. (both 57% light eyes)
