Eye Color

Eye color refers to the pigmentation of the iris, the colored part of the eye that surrounds the pupil. This trait is determined by the amount and type of pigments in the iris, primarily melanin. Common eye colors include brown, blue, green, hazel, gray, and amber, each offering a unique and distinct appearance.

Brown eyes, the most prevalent, have high levels of melanin, while blue eyes, which have less melanin, appear blue due to the scattering of light. Green and hazel eyes result from varying combinations of melanin and the scattering of light. Eye color is influenced by genetics, with multiple genes contributing to the wide array of possible hues and shades. Eye color can enhance a person's overall appearance and is often noted for its ability to convey emotions and personality.
