    Default Dutch eye colour (Parliament study)

    I counted Dutch house of representatives (150) members eye colour. I excluded those of foreign background so the sample decreased to only 119 members. Because the image quality was medium I had to merge the grey/green category with light mixed. I didn't feel like Googling every member

    Results:

    Blue/grey-blue 49,6%
    Grey & light mixed 27,7%
    Hazel/evenly mixed 13,4%
    Dark mixed and Brown 9,2%


    In total 77.3% light and light mixed eyes. Unfortunately this categorization does not give us the answer of how many eyes are pure light without mixture, but the scientific studies by Bolk and Van Herwerden both give almost exactly 70%. I did this study because I wanted to find out weather this figure of 70% includes only pure light or also light mixed eyes. Now I am more inclined that it includes only unmixed light. TNH also found a very similar figure as me when including light mixed (76%)

    Would it be less than 50% light & light mixed if you counted all 150 people?

    Don't know about 50% but significantly less. Most if not all foreigners were non White.

    Did you exclude foreigners if they originate from let's say Belgium?

    No, I did not Google each member and look at his Wikipedia. I only excluded those that had foreign names or appearance.

    It would be good if somebody could break down the Netherlands regionally for once. South Dutch are probably no more than 70% light eyed, and North Dutch c. 80% light eyed.
