Why aren't hazel and green eyes as popular as blue eyes?

[Babygirl_S]

I think they look gorgeous

Blue eyes seem to be popular even in countries like the UK where most people have them. I have always liked earthy colours. What do you think?

[SereneScribe3]

I don't think that's the case. I've seen people complimenting all colored eyes (hazel, amber, green etc.), not just blue eyes. Anyway it's about the eye shape, how well it harmonizes with the rest of your features and facial symmetry, not the color. Colorism must stop. It's just as bad as racism

[Babygirl_S]

I agree

Brown are dominant and the most popular. Hazel, green and blue aren't as popular. I don't even know what colour my eyes are, they usually look green but sometimes they look really blue.

It's not that they are less popular, it's that they are less common. Eye color is determined by genetics, brown is most common since it's a dominant gene. Blue is next, a recessive gene. The other colors (green, gray, hazel, etc) are mutations of genes, which is rare.

I have hazel eyes - therefore they should be more popular. However, blue eyes tend to be brighter and the color blue is, supposedly, a calming color (I'm no psychologist, just something I heard through the grapevine). I like earthy colors also, - the lower-left image.

Ah, the great eye color debate! 😄 I totally get where you're coming from. Hazel and green eyes have such a unique charm, don't they? I believe it's all about perception and what people consider exotic or rare at the moment. Blue eyes have been romanticized a lot in various cultures and media, which probably boosts their popularity. Plus, in places where blue eyes are common, like the UK, they might still be seen as a standard of beauty simply because of tradition and historical preferences. But honestly, earthy colors like hazel and green can convey such warmth and depth. Their rarity in the global population also adds a certain mystique. And the way they can change hues in different lights? Absolutely mesmerizing! 💚🤎 What about you? Have you always leaned towards earthy colors, or is it something that grew on you over time?

[Babygirl_S]

Actually I have always liked hazel and green eyes.

[handsomelad70]

Probably because they're not nearly as common as blue eyes.

[laly520]

fun fact is that green eyes r rarer than blue eyes

[Peridot25]

It’s true! I’ve seen only ONE person throughout my life with green eyes.

[BlissfullyCurSed]

Because Anglo-Saxons and Scandinavians are self-worshipping narcissists who has whitewhashed the media with their own beauty standards for more than half a century.

Don't know about hazel but green eyes are popular, anyway the most boring color is brown.

[RebelinSteel]

Green eyes are popular and fairly common in the UK.

[Peridot25]

Green eyes is very rare and you don’t see anyone with green eyes often like hazel. But, like everyone is saying, it’s genetics.

[ProbablyClueless]

Not sure. I see a lot of hazel and green eyes in TV shows.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Nothing is better than green eyes. Blue eyes are overated.

[avery58]

Grey, green, and brown are my favorite

[Staximus]

@babygirl_s

[Peridot25]

But, they’re so rare. I’ve seen only ONE person with green eyes throughout my life. Green eyes are really pretty but you don’t see anyone with green eyes very often.
