I just read a fascinating New York Times article which discussed various eye colors. I learned that at the turn of the 20th century, 1/2 of Americans had blue eyes, now the number of blue-eyed Americans is 1 in 6. Blue eyes run the greatest risk of macular degeneration. Brown eyes, the most common due to dominant genes, are most prone to developing cataracts.

Eye colors are among the following: Amber, Blue, Brown, Gray, Green, Hazel, Red (Albinism) & Violet

I have hazel eyes. What color are yours?

The typical dark brown/black, but always grey or light brown due to contacts.

It sounds like your eye color is similar to mine. Eye color is determined by the amount of melanin content in the iris.

Interestingly, 7 of us have recorded our eye color thus far, and Allan is the only one with blue eyes.
