The rarest beautiful eye colors are subject to debate, but green is often cited as one of the rarest.
While beauty is subjective, rarity of eye color can be more objectively determined. According to some sources, green is considered by some to be the actual rarest eye color in the world, though others would say it's been dethroned by red, violet, and grey eyes. (Reference: 30-Oct-2024)
Here's a breakdown of eye color rarity:
- Green: Frequently mentioned as the rarest, seen in only about 2% of the global population.
- Grey: Less common than blue eyes and often confused with them, making them quite rare.
- Violet: While not a naturally occurring pigment, violet eye color can appear due to a lack of pigment combined with light reflection (often seen in people with albinism).
- Red: Typically found in individuals with albinism and extremely rare.
The perception of "beautiful" is personal and varies across cultures. Therefore, while green eyes are often considered beautiful and are relatively rare, the "rarest beautiful eyes" ultimately depends on individual preference.
