Comments by "Iain Mc" (@iainmc9859) on "What is the Origin and Reason for Hazel Eyes?" video.

I think the lack of research on hazel eyes is simply because they are defined by what they are not (blue, grey, green, brown) rather than what they are. They also have a greater ability to look different in different levels of light due to iris size; so they are just more difficult to nail down. To be honest I think the difference between amber and hazel is just semantic rather than melanin relative.

@cattymajiv I think I'd largely agree with you, however eyes rarely, in people who have Indo-European (I realise that this is an ethno-language term) extraction have eyes of a singular colour, even though they are called blue or brown. I think the point I was trying to make, maybe unclearly, was we generalize with our language regarding eye colour and just go with the predominant colour. Nothing wrong with grey eyes. My father had grey eyes, or was it just the dreich Scottish skies reflecting in them 😁
