Only Two Percent of the World’s Population Have This Trait
Ashley Moor

Lots of traits are statistically rare: Left-handedness (just 10 percent of the population!), curly hair (11 percent!), and blond hair (4 percent!), to name a few. But of the more than seven billion people on the planet, only 2 percent can claim to have this one special trait. (To put that in perspective, that’s 140 million people).
So what’s this rare trait only one in fifty of us possess? Green eyes. That’s right, just 2 percent of the world’s population is lucky enough to have ’em, according to World Atlas.
Compare that to other eye colors. For example, some 79 percent of the population has brown eyes, while 8 percent has blue. About 5 percent of people have hazel eyes and another 5 percent have amber eyes. Simply put, green eyes are incredibly unique. (Unique enough, in fact, to give Chris Martin the inspiration that would make Coldplay an overnight success).

I can do better than that... My eyes change color from hazel through blue to gray... Mostly they are blue.

My eyes are a mix. Green\Blue
But they change. When they go green--RUN AWAY

Blue eyed blonde but I’ve been dying my hair auburn
Got tired of blonde so went for red
-
I'm blue-eyed and so was my husband. All three kids are green eyed. :shrug:
-
My mother told me I was born with blue eyes. They changed to hazel which is mostly green with a gray ring around the iris. When I get emotional, green all the way.

Didn't Crystal Gayle have a hit years ago with Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Green?

I have blue eyes with a small brown dot in one. An eye doctor said I was lucky not to have one blue and one brown eye.

No that was Michael Phelps singing Don't it Make My Brown Hair Green.

Interesting. I think it must be rare to have two very different colored eyes.

If I had one blue and one brown, I could have been in the Circus that went from state to state, as the woman with two different colored eyes. It was Barnum and Bailey circus and I don't remember how they spelled those two names or if the names are exactly right.

I wouldn't be so down on yourself. I'm sure that you have some other attributes that could be a circus act.
Always think positive!!!

I know someone that has one blue and one green eye. I don't remember which is which, but they are different colors because she got shot in the eye with a bb when she was a kid.

Huh? I thought it was "Don't that make my brown eye blue"?

I went to high school with a girl that had one blue eye and one green eye.
Mine are pretty much black. The Injun blood slipping through. Everybody else in my family had blue eyes except for my grandmother,the Injun,and my mother,who had red hair and green eyes. The Scots/Irish showing up. I guess it skipped a generation.

The genetic lottery is pretty darn interesting. In my high school days, we were taught a simplified version of inheritance.

Sounds like a slow learner.

Right.
