What kind of eye color genes do you have?

This is a quick thread to see what the eye color genetics are in the NS community. One thing if you do not know exactly what kind of eyes genes you have just vote do not know.

I am not entirely sure on weather blue is dominate over green, or weather which eye color you have is like a flip of a coin.

My parents' eyes are brown and hazel (green, I guess), but mine are a grey/green that can shift blue when they feel like it.

Blue-blue, but they're a light shade. Dayglow Blue, you could say, because they look especially radiant in sunlight.

3/4 Grandparents have blue, my dad has blue, my mom has green, my little brother has blue, and I get hazel.

The reason why I did not include one for grey eyes is because I had to eliminate one category or I would run out of room. As well I did not include grey because grey is considered a variant of light blue eyes.

Ooooh, this is eye color GENES. I thought it was just an eye color thread!

Anyway, my mom has deep green eyes, and my dad has light blue eyes. That explains the dayglow effect my eyes have, really.

Both my parents and grandparents have brown eyes(as do my sibilings) but I must have gotten something else. I'm blue-green-silver.

I have green eyes...though they switch between green and hazel.

My dad has hazel eyes, my mom has brown.

My dads parents have hazel eyes.

My moms parents have blue eyes

Although my moms mom has crazy blue-green eyes.

I have always wished that I could have Grey eyes...to me they are by far the coolest and most rare.

Blue is the "most recessive" eye colour... similar to blonde hair being the most recessive hair colour.

What about green eyes?

Where do they stand and whats up with them?

Green eyes are a form of rarer eye color than blue, but yet most of the time they are dominate over the blue eye gene, but are recessive when with brown.

Erm... I've never studied this in depth... but I gather they fall somewhere between brown and blue (brown being "most dominant")... Eye colour is controlled by many genes, so it's complicated.

You would be given the territories nobody wants. You shall receive some lovely Pacific Islands. An example would be Pitcairn Island. Or we could give you the Middle East.

For example into the 17th century Sweden became one the worlds great powers and fought all the way to the Ukraine. As well in modern many heroes of Scandinavian descent have arisen, during World War II Scandinavians were thought, by many, to be great soldiers.

Green-Blue. Both my parents have blue eyes, are fairly short and are morning people. All my siblings and myself have green eyes, are tall, and are night people.

I swear if there was just me I’d think I was adopted. From what I’ve seen dominant traits like this can skip a generation, as there were a lot of family over six feet tall in my grandparent’s generation.

I have very dark blue/grey eyes, with little specs of green in them that only really show up when I shine a light through them.

However, because they're dark and I have dark dark hair, people just assume they're brown - one of my friends who had known me for 5 years was walking with me one day, suddenly stopped and exclaimed

"Oh my god! You have BLUE EYES!!!"

due to the apparently mysterious nature of my eyes, I have been told before that I have PURPLE eyes. If I can pass as a purple-eyed freak, I think I can claim Andromeda, plus a few of Jupiter's moons at least, like Europa and Io...

Since I was born from no being—I always simply was—I have none of these "genes" that you speak of.

My eyes vary in hue from deep blood-crimson to blinding white, each one betraying a portion of the darkness beyond them. I of course decided upon this as the best way to frighten foolish underlings into thinking I had X-ray vision or some kind of imaginary superpower, simply to inspire fear in the worthless masses. Mwahahahaha!!!!

my eyes are actually a combo of green and blue (not only meaning the genes, I mean the actual colour of my eyes)... what colour you see most in my eyes all depends on what colours i'm wearing, the light, and all that sorta stuff..
Seeing as i wear a lot of blue stuff, my eyes on average are more greeny

My parents acutally have blue/ blue-green, i seem to have the same sort of eyes as my mother

it's not stupid. besides, i think that eye color is one of those genetic traits that isn't as simple as one single gene pair expressing dominant or recessive traits. i seem to remember reading something other genes that control enzymes that modify the expressed color. it's been a long time since i last took genetics, so this might be all wrong, too.
