    Not really. Hair/Eye Pigmentation is actually one of the last things that real anthropologists look at when determining race.

    Well, seeing as how those variations in hair and eye colour are mostly a European thing, it would make sense to define them (the people and who hold them) in which areas and ethnic groups have them.

    Light mixed means blue/green with some brown or green (which are in fact mixed eyes) ?

    Still I think people need to stop obsessing over such trivial things.
    I can assure you that i am not fascinated about the people's eyes color but it is something which is easily visible and a little weird too

    Hooton published a key anthropological study on the Irish including their eye pigmentation - The physical anthropology of Ireland. By Earnest A. Hooton and C. Wesley Dupertuis. With a section on the west coast Irish females. By Helen Dawson. No. 1, Text, pp. xix + 304; No. 2, Tables and Half-tones. Papers of the Peabody Museum of Archeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, Vol. 30, 1955.

    According to this study, blue eyes, 42.1%, are the second commonest shade in Ireland. The most common though are ''blue-brown eyes'' or ''Blue-mixed eyes'' (don't have the exact percentage, but i think it's around 50%).

    In an earler work (1946) Hooton concludes that the Irish who have ''blue-brown eyes'' have partially depigmentated. As blue eyes mutated from brown, it appears the Irish have an unusual intermediate (partial) mutation which have given them a unique mixed blue colour in majority.

    The Irish are fully Nordid in eye color, especially of the blue-eyed variety. According to the Irish journal of medical science published in 1997, blue eyes are indeed the commonest eye color found in 59% and the second commonest is green in 21%. This study alone proves that at least 80% of the Irish have light eyes. Now if we added gray, hazel shades it will cover the entire Irish population. Ireland has one of the highest frequency for blue-eyed people in the world! Others such as Scandinavians, Estonians also have high frequencies of light eyes.

    Most of the Irish Australians I know have blue eyes but it might be due to the location of their ancestors. This excludes the dark "black Irish" types.

    I'd say 80% have blue/green eyes that I know.

    This is what it said at the end of the chapter:
    According to anthropologists E. Hooton and W. Dupertuis, in their study of 10,000 Irish males from all over Ireland, there are virtually no pure dark eyes ( medium brown/dark brown/black) in Ireland!

    Yes it was overall 42.4% (pure blue), 43.9% (blue - brown), 4.4% (gray/gray-blue) approximately 90.7% light - eyed.
