== Confusing Grey Eyes Sentence ==

"Very light blue eyes can be confused with grey eyes". This doesn't make much sense. This should either be rephrased as "Very light blue eyes may give the impression of being grey," or "Grey eyes are often confused with very light blue eyes." Whichever the sentence is intended to mean.

Color changes?

While color change in young children is mentioned, I am aware of several people in my family whom have eye color changes relatively constantly throughout their lives. Is there a name for this?

Expand, please

I've started this article though I'm not an expert on this topic. It seems to me like a lot could be written about the geographic distribution of eye colors around the world. So those more knowledgeable about this should expand it! Lowellian (talk)[[]] 01:34, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)

Is there information available on demographics, meaning what percentage of people have each pigment, which is rarest, etc?


Also

Also interesting would be to see if there are any studies about the future of eye color. It seems as though, with the dark-eye genes being so dominant that any offspring of a dark-eyed person and blue-eyed person has dark-eyes, the blue eyes are eventually doomed to extinction (unless, of course, genetic engineering is used).


Nazis

Ok, what exactly is the relevance of bringing Nazis into this discussion?

Green eyes

Green eyes are most often found in people of Celtic, Irish and Aryan descent.
  1. "Celtic descent" includes "Irish".
  2. Aryan sounds a bit vague. It would be better if we had some statistics about the regions where the green eyes are more common Bogdan | Talk 09:38, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  3. Doesn't Aryan refer to Iranian peoples and not Germanic?

"Very light blue eyes can be confused with grey eyes". This doesn't make much sense. This should either be rephrased as "Very light blue eyes may give the impression of being grey," or "Grey eyes are often confused with very light blue eyes." Whichever the sentence is intended to mean.
