Eye Color Guide - The Most Common Eye Colors

The human eye is both beautiful and unique. Much like a fingerprint, each individual's eye color is specific only to them, with no others sharing the same shape, color and appearance. So what eye colors are the most common, and which are the rarest?

Brown Eyes

Brown Eyes

An estimated 70-90% of the world's population has brown eyes. Aside from sharing the same rich eye color, you're also the proud owners of the most melanin (pigment) within your irises, meaning your eyes are naturally more protected from the sun.




Hazel Eyes

Hazel Eyes

Hazel-eyed people are second in line for the most melanin, but their pigment is concentrated around the edge of the iris, and flecks of gold, brown or green fill the center.

Blue Eyes

Blue Eyes

Roughly 8% of the world has blue eyes. Research shows that blue-eyed folks share a single, common ancestor. Scientists tracked a genetic mutation that took place thousands of years ago, which is the cause of all blue-eyed people today.




Green Eyes

Green Eyeso

Green eyes have low to moderate amounts of melanin and they're super rare—only an estimated 2% of the population have them.

Gray Eyes

Gray Eyes

Only about 3% of the world's population is thought to have gray eyes. It's suspected that gray-eyed people have an even smaller amount of melanin in their eyes than blue-eyed people, and they have a different composition of the stroma that causes the light to scatter differently to create the mysterious, silvery hue.


Amber Eyes

Amber Eyes

Amber eyes are a solid yellowish, golden or copper color and do not contain brown, green, or orange flecks. If you have amber-colored eyes, it's likely that you're of Spanish, Asian, South American or South African descent.

If there is one thing we can agree on, it's that all eyes are unique and beautiful. Additionally, thanks to colored contact lenses, it's possible to change your eye color even you don't require vision correction.

Also, make sure to check out our Air Optix Colors lenses, which are the most popular, and most widely recommended colored contact lens available.
