The rarest eye color in the world - TOP 5 with photos

Have you ever seen a person with amber eyes? What about a person with green or red eyes? No?! Then, you will be a little surprised if you find out that all this is not fiction, not some kind of myth that has been brought forward for centuries, but is quite real. Although there are not many people with such rare eye colors, they still exist .

People with rare eye colors exist, and they live among us

However, there is nothing sci-fi or extraordinary about this. Everything is quite natural, since it depends mainly on the pigmentation of the iris .

Eyes. Eye color around the world

The eyes appear and look like something foreign, like pieces of unusual glass. They are called the mirror of the soul. There is a feeling that they help to see what is inside, hidden in the soul. It is not for nothing that eyes are the object of attention of soothsayers, psychics, magicians and fortune tellers. Eyes are something mysterious that connects a person with an unusual, different, unknown world...

There are a wide variety of colors. Some of them are very common, and there are also people who have the rarest eye color. Moreover, each color has various shades. Most often this diversity is invisible, but sometimes it catches the eye.

People with a wide variety of eye colors are distributed throughout the world, and unevenly. For example, in Africa the dark-eyed population predominates, while in the Scandinavian countries the light-eyed population predominates. Green eye color is the rarest on the planet, however, their owners can be found on any continent.

In dark eyes (brown and black), the iris is saturated with a large amount of melanin. Apparently, the predominance of one color or another among different nationalities also depends on the climatic conditions of life.

Why are they different for everyone?

The main creator of eye color is melanin, or rather, its amount in the human body. Brown-eyed people have a lot of it, but people with green eyes, the rarest color, have very little melanin. However, heredity also plays a role.

Each person has the color of the iris, determined by genes (passed on by inheritance). Moreover, the color can be passed on from grandparents.

It is believed that it is possible to find out the eye color of an unborn child. Let's look at some examples:

1. If, say, both parents have blue eyes, then there is a 99% chance that the child will be born with blue eyes and only 1% chance that the baby will have green – the rarest eye color;

2. If one parent has blue hair and the other has green hair, the probability is 50% to 50%.

3. If both parents are green-eyed, then there is a 75% chance that the child will have green eyes, 24% with blue eyes and 1% with brown eyes;

4. If one of the parents has blue eyes, the other has brown eyes, then with a probability of 50% their child will have brown eyes, 37% will have green eyes, and 13% will have blue eyes;

5. Brown-eyed parents produce offspring with brown eyes with a probability of 75%, 18% of cases with green eyes and only 7% with blue eyes.

In addition, there are people with eyes of different colors. This disorder is familiar to many - heterochromia. It can be either complete or partial. In the first case: one eye, for example, is blue, the second is brown. With partial heterochromia, only a small part of the eye differs in color from the entire iris. Such partial heterochromia occurs more often in life than complete heterochromia. Both types of heterochromia most often occur in animals.

Congenital disorders also occur. One of them is aniridia. With this problem, the iris may be partially or completely absent.

There is also albinism, a rare but very serious birth defect that occurs in albinos. The eye color of such people is almost red - the rarest color among people with various abnormalities (mutations).
