The rarest eye color in the world is green.
According to a 2014 survey by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, green eyes are found in only 9% of the population. This makes them far less common than brown (45%), blue (27%), and hazel (18%) eyes.
Here's a breakdown of eye color prevalence:
Eye Color | Percentage of Population |

Brown | 45% |
Blue | 27% |

This data highlights that green is indeed the most uncommon eye color, making it a rare trait.
