The Truth About Green Eyes

In a day’s time, the chances that you meet someone with green eyes are pretty low. You may have never thought twice about it, but this isn’t by chance. Our observance of green-eyed people is so low because green is one of the rarest eye colors in the entire world. Due to the low occurrence of interacting with a green-eyed person on a regular basis, it may feel rather mysterious when staring into a set of green eyes. But there are more interesting factors behind whether a person is born with green eyes or not than you’d believe, and even more strange facts about the people who do possess them. For facts you’ve never known about these rare-eyed individuals, here is the truth about green eyes.

Statistics prove that green eyes are quite rare.

It’s not a coincidence that there is likely only one or two people with green eyes at your job or in your circle of friends. 55 to 79 percent of the world’s population has brown eyes. In stark comparison, green-eyed people only make up 2 percent of everyone on earth. Even rarer are gray, violet, red and heterochromia, which means two-toned eyes.
