The most common eye colors depend largely on geographic location. For example, Asians typically have brown eyes, while Europeans are more likely to have eyes of blue or other lighter hues.
Green eyes naturally occur in all races of people. Liqian, China is a hot spot for green eyes. There is a village in China called Liqian, in which two-thirds of all inhabitants today have green eyes and blonde hair. Green eyes and blonde hair are a rare combination.
It's rare for blue eyes to occur naturally in China, but it can happen due to gene mutation or if both parents have some distant ancestor—presumably Caucasian—who carries the gene for that eye color.
Approximately 2% of people have blue eyes in China.
It also serves as a reminder that eye color is not limited to any one region or ethnicity, and that blue eyes can be found in many different parts of the world.
The area of the former Liqian County is known for the distinctive physical appearance of its inhabitants. The population has higher frequencies of traits prevalent in Europe, such as aquiline noses, blonde or light-colored hair, blue or green eyes, and relatively fair skin tones.
Blue and green eyes are rare in East Asians, but not unheard of. Scientists have identified more than 20 different genetic factors that can increase a person's chances of having blue eyes.
Scientists believe that it is possible to trace all blue-eyed people back to a common ancestor, who likely had a genetic mutation that reduced the amount of melanin in the iris. Most people with blue eyes are of European descent.
"In Australians of European ancestry, the percentage of eye colours are 45 percent blue-grey, 30 percent green-hazel and 25 percent brown. If you're considering non-European ancestry it is the almost completely brown eye colour."
A 2016 study found most White babies are born with grayish-blue eyes, while Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and Asian babies are often born with dark brown eyes.
The major difference between Chinese vs. Japanese eyes lie in their shape. Where Japanese have round or oval eyes, Chinese feature angular eyes. Another notable difference can be seen in the slant of these two sets of eyes. Chinese eyes slant downwards while Japanese eyes slant upwards.
Blue is the second most common eye color globally, with an estimated 8 to 10 % of people having blue eyes. A majority of these people are of European descent, however, Black people can be born with blue eyes even though it's pretty rare.
While dark brown is definitely the most common eye color among Koreans, there are a few who deviate from the standard.
Grey eyes are one of the rarest eye colors. Less than 3% of the global population has grey eyes. They're most commonly found in people of Northern and Eastern European ancestry.
Very dark brown hair, easily mistaken for black hair, can be found occasionally in parts of East Asia.
Rarest Eye Colour – Green.
We found that green is the most popular lens colour, with brown coming in a close second, despite it being one of the most common eye colours. Although blue and hazel are seen as the most attractive eye colours for men and women they are surprisingly the least popular.
When broken down by gender, men ranked gray, blue, and green eyes as the most attractive, while women said they were most attracted to green, hazel, and gray eyes. Despite brown eyes ranking at the bottom of our perceived attraction scale, approximately 79% of the world's population sports melanin-rich brown eyes.
Your children inherit their eye colors from you and your partner. It's a combination of mom and dad's eye colors – generally, the color is determined by this mix and whether the genes are dominant or recessive. Every child carries two copies of every gene – one comes from mom, and the other comes from dad.
There have been 16 genes identified that contribute to eye colour. This means that no matter what colour eyes your parents have, yours can be pretty much any colour. All races, including Caucasian, African, Asian, Pacific Islanders, Arabic, Hispanic and the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas can have green eyes.
Finland. The people of Finland have one of the highest concentrations of blond hair in the world. In large portions of Finland, 80% of the population has blond hair (and a full 89% of the population has blue eyes).
Many Asians have naturally straight hair, but there is a significant group of us who do have naturally curly or wavy hair! However, because it's the norm to see straight and sleek hair, curly haired boys and girls tend to think that their hair is some kind of unruly straight hair that isn't behaving.
Although it is pretty rare, a small number of Japanese people have blue eyes. The truth is, blue eyes are not predominant to Japanese people. Researchers, however, discovered a small blue-eyed community living on an Island in Northern Japan.
It should be noted that even full Asian or full black people can have blonde hair and/or blue eyes. Hair and eye color aren't specific to one group of people, anyone can have it. Blue eyes started out as a mutation many years ago.
