Green Eyes

The Rarest
Green eyes are considered the most rarest, because they only occur in 2% of the population. Although albino's can have rarer eyes, and heterochromia is indeed rarer, and average person's rarest eye color (not heterochromia) would be green. Green eyes have a bit more melanin than blue eyes. With a thin eye tissue, and some lipochrome and light scattering, the eye color can turn out green. Often, green eyes have very small and little brown or hazel/gold flecks in the eye. This causes people with hazel eyes to think they have green eyes. Green eyes are often mistaken for hazel eyes. The difference is, hazel eyes have a weaker green, and more brown. The have a golden or brown burst in the iris extending outwards the iris. Or the brown eyes have a greenish tint. Also, green eyes are more full and uniform in color, like grass green or jade. Usually, green eyes are much more present in the iris than any other eye color, if there is one. Even though green eyes occupy a larger percentage than 2% in places like Europe and West Asia, it is still a extreme rarity.
