    I've posted him earlier anyway.
    Yes, still not a purely brown eye color despite the dark hair. I guess as anthropologists have already said there is no other population in the world which combines dark hair with light or mixed eyes as Ireland. Coon called Ireland, the world’s extreme ratio for light eyes.

    This colour is reasonably common in the Irish. Of course blue eyes are numerous as well.



    This is Andrea.







    Aisling Bea is another very good example. I would say she has the most common eye colour in the Irish.

    This first Irish lady you posted has actually gray eyes. Would you say that is more common in your family?
    I’d think bluish or blue eyes are more common among the Irish. I might be wrong.
    As her eyes here below:

    I have blue eyes myself but most of my family have a more greenish/grayish tint to their eyes. I think they would be classified as light mixed. My relatives have a big range of eye colours with some having what is called brown in Ireland like the people posted above. One of my aunts is pure green. The majority have the more grayish/green/blue mixed colour. I have a couple of relatives with very blue eyes but they are male.

    The first and second women are sisters i.e. the Corrs.

    This is Jim Corr the brother. His eye colour is common. A mixed light colour. I'd say shades of blue would be a majority.

    Apart from brown, what color do you see?

    I have very dark hair and my eyes have shades of green along with brown, the eyes don't have to match the hair.

    Oh, he looks like a Brunn + Dalofaelid mix. His eye colour is grayish.

Have told you a thousand times authors' criteria differ. If you trust so much certain ''authorities'' do you also trust Beddoe who said only 5% of the Welsh are blue-eyed? Wales with 5% of pure blue eyes is as dumb as Ireland with 0,5% of brown ones. If Ireland has 0,5% of brown eyes then Spain would have 10% by the same criterion. Do you understand how idiotic this sounds? In reality, given the results of Supercomputer, mine and normal studies (with no bias) and having standard deviation in mind, the Irish must be between 8-13% brown-eyed (let's say it's most likely around 10-11%) and the Spanish between 45-50% brown-eyed.
    Supercomputer has proven you to be a fool in comparison to him and you now call him ''monsieur'' - good way to admit defeat.
    You should stop comparing Ireland with Spain. Spain is well among the darkest - eyed countries of Europe, while Ireland is Europe's lightest - eyed. These are different populations with different histories and different geographic locations and so on. OK! You cannot compare Beddoe with the Harvard University, unless you are a fool. But who knows! The 0.5% for pure dark eyes is not hilarious, rather it overwhelms you because you don't understand anything. As it reads in the study, I quote; "The distribution of eye color in Ireland is the most remarkable phenomenon that the island presents". By that statement alone, you should be able to understand there is very high frequency of light eyes.
    Pure blue - 42.4% ( "unusual frequency")
    Blue - mixed - 43.9%
    Gray / Gray - blue - 4.4%
    Now you do the math for brown eyes.

    Sure they are European. So that doesn’t mean they cannot be different from another.
