This is true of everyone who says they have green eyes. I have never seen anyone who has objectively green eyes. But people love to say they have green eyes because they think it makes them “special.”

My mom and my DC have objectively green eyes.

A more interesting conversation might be focused on how blue eyes are portrayed as something desirable and worthy of note in all forms of media. OP formed her preference based on something. I always notice mention of tow-heads and blue eyes in magazine articles.

Portrayed? It’s because they’re pretty. Nobody thinks the color brown in general is pretty. It’s…brown. Blue is the pretty color of the sky, the ocean, and light eyes.

DH has brown eyes and I think they are dreamy. Love brown eyes.

I painted my living room peach. It does not mean than peach colored eyes are more beautiful than brown eyes.

Well that’s a silly example because peach eyes don’t exist in nature for humans, so peach eyes would be an indication of some kind of health issues bordering on imminent death. But it is worth nothing that the vast majority of people would paint their dining room blue, green, or light grey than would paint it brown.

And the vast majority of people would wear a black or brown dress before a light grey one. Or a black purse or bag. Brown and black go with everything. You can't say the same about blue. The PPs with tan skin and dark hair pull off blue eyes very nicely. It's harder for people with er light skin to pull it off.

Brown eyes are the dominant gene. If one parent has brown eyes then kids will also have brown eyes. Blue eyes are a recessive gene. In general, both parents must have blue eyes for kids to have blue eyes. Both my parents had blue eyes and all 3 kids have blue eyes as a result.

Not true. DH has brown eyes. I have blue-green. Both sons have green eyes - one like mine and one like my mom’s bright green.

I don’t have a preference for a particular eye color, any color can be beautiful. But blue eyes are definitely rarer, so I think I notice them when I see them. Especially clear light blue eyes, like Cillian Murph has. Not necessarily more attractive than brown, just unusual.

This actor is a good example of blue eyes not necesssarily going well with pale skin. He looks so much better in pictures that have been edited to give him a tan.

I don't even understand how you can HATE somebody's eye color! Can you hate their (natural) hair color? Their skin color? The size of the half-moons on their fingernails??

They may not be aesthetically pleasing but do you really HATE their eyes??

She is a drama queen.

She clarified somewhere in the thread that she really likes blue eyes.

They absolutely would not... unless they didn't want attention. The vast majority of people would prefer colors, especially when they want admiration and to look pretty. The vasty majority of people name a color like "green or blue" before they would name "brown" as their favorite. You can keep coping but no one wants your eyes.

More lies. If anything, his pale eyes match with his pale skin, that's why they go hand in hand. Cillian is a great example of how incredibly striking and special blue eyes are.

I have blue eyes, my wife has blue eyes, my kids have blue eyes. Until this thread I had no idea we were white supremacists.

Because the majority of people have brown eyes so a brown dress looks good with their eyes. A minority of people have blue eyes and a gray dress looks better than brown so they would be more likely to choose gray.

People don’t “pull off” their eye color. It’s not an accessory. It just is.

I don't know PP. Even with blue eyes, most people prefer brown and black dresses and not so much light blue and light grey because it's easier to match.

But let's agree to disagree.

What are you talking about? Please provide stats on people buying brown clothing en masse, that's the first I've ever heard of it. After all, blue jeans are maybe the most popular clothing item I can even think of.
