What causes greyish eyes?
One theory is that dark gray eyes come from a thin layer of melanin on the front layer of the iris. The blue reflection of light is clouded over by the dark layer in front causing a dark gray color. Light gray eyes are almost the opposite. A little melanin in the front of the eye gives you blue eyes.
What is the gray eye color?
Gray eyes may be called “blue” at first glance, but they tend to have flecks of gold and brown. And they may appear to “change color” from gray to blue to green depending on clothing, lighting, and mood (which may change the size of the pupil, compressing the colors of the iris).
Are gray eyes rarer than green?
