Eye Colors Explained! Dr. Allen ranks the rarest eye colors in the world and explains what causes them!

Eye color is determined by the amount and distribution of melanin in the iris, the colored part of the eye. Melanin is a pigment that also gives color to our skin and hair. The amount of melanin present in the iris can vary, leading to different eye colors.

The most common eye colors are brown, blue, and green, while less common colors include hazel, gray, and amber. There are even some unique eye colors such as pink, violet, or black, but usually, these eye colors are due to other diseases and conditions. The rarity of certain eye colors can also be influenced by genetic factors and the intermixing of populations over time. Additionally, environmental factors such as sunlight exposure can affect the production of melanin in the iris, leading to subtle changes in eye color.

    I have eyes, I'm grateful.🙏
  • It makes me happy to see all the people liking their eye color in here. Eyes are beautiful, and beautiful eyes come in all shades.
  • I have violet eyes and for most of my life people have told me how unattractive and freaky they are. But there are a percentage of people that think albinism is the coolest thing and try and recreate the “look”. What people don’t understand is that albinism isn’t a “look” it’s a medical condition which causes loads of issues with eyes. I am legally blind and can’t open my eyes outside even when it’s dull because I have no pigment in body at all. Life is good but having albinism is hard too!
  • My grandmother has yellow eyes. Her irises are more yellow than gold. Several optometrists have commented on them being very rare, and the first time her primary optometrists saw her he freaked out about her eye color and said it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that he would ever see someone with her eye color.
  • @MetsterAnn
    My son has grey eyes. They are pretty spectacular. When he was young I couldn’t take him anywhere without people stopping us and commenting. I have brown, his dad has blue.
  • I have grey eyes and I'm so excited to see you telling people that yes, it's an eye color lol I get so annoyed with people telling me that they can't be grey because it's "not a real eye color". I have a lot of grey shirts and when I put one next to my iris, it's exactly the same color (light grey at least) 😅

    In grade school back in the 70’s (I was in about 3rd or 4th grade) we did a science class assignment where we wrote down our parents eye color and our eye color and talked about genes. My idiot teacher told me that my parents couldn’t be my parents because they both have brown eyes and I have blue eyes (not kidding, she actually was adamant to a 8-9 year old that they weren’t my parents based on her terrible understanding of the science lesson). I came home extremely upset and my parents had to go have a talk with the teacher and explain dominant/recessive alleles and of course that regardless of her faulty understanding of the science her behavior was highly inappropriate.
  • @Labyrinth22
    Thank you for clearing up the “black eyes” condition. I remember people telling me I had black eyes as a kid and arguing that I have really dark brown eyes (not black). 🤦🏾‍♀️
  • My optometrist once sent me to a specialist who told me, "You probably have always been told that you have brown/ hazel eyes, but they actually actually a really beautiful green." That was my best compliment ever.
  • @sadtiger2022
    I have light green eyes with specks of gold. I get compliments on them often and feel like they're my prettiest asset. They run in the family with both parents!
  • @geolassx5755
    I have beautiful green eyes. I'm now 75 and ppl have been complimenting me all my life even now. I'm so blessed to have great eyesight. It doesn't matter what color your eyes are protect them!
  • I have gray eyes. Fun fact gray eyes, similar to hazel, “shift” in color as well. My husband has amber eyes. They are so light they are almost orange in some lights. Our daughter however ended up with dark dark brown eyes. Genetics are weird (but fascinating)
  • My grandma had these very jade green eyes. Very uniform. Honestly I have never seen anyone with those eyes again
  • @noramari98
    I thought I had hazel colored eyes, but this video thought me that they’re amber! They always seem different depending on what I’m wearing, my makeup or if the sun is shining that day. Awesome video!
  • @lisab8818
    As a graphic artist who has edited many photos, light blue eyes always stand out on camera. I have green eyes, did not realize how rare that is; fascinating video, Doctor!
  • @kirabowie
    I have amber colored eyes, but I always thought of them as just light brown. 😆
  • Beautiful girls with green, blue, and gray eyes open the door to the soul with their extraordinary and rare beauty ❤❤
