VIDEO: Meaning of eye colors

Hence the eye colors

The color of a person's eyes is determined by the dye melanin. In the eye, pigment granules are stored in the pigment cells of the epithelium on the back of the iris.

• Depending on how strongly pigmented the epithelium is, the eye color is brown, green or blue. With blue ones eyes the epithelium is almost unpigmented. In addition, the blue eye color was only created about 10,000 years ago through a gene mutation.
• In humans, the final eye color does not form until the end of the first year of life; before that, eyes are usually blue and light.
• Eye colors correlate with the skin type and ethnic origin of the person concerned. Fair-skinned people more often have light eyes, people of African or Asian origin usually have brown and dark eyes.

What is the meaning of the color of the eyes?

The eye colors, together with the main type and hair color, are a cornerstone of color type theory. This means that depending on the color type, certain colors look particularly good on everyone. In addition, some esoteric directions claim that eye colors say something about character, and researchers have shown that they are important in partner choice. Here is an overview of the individual colors:

• Mostly people of the winter and summer type have blue eyes. These are colors with a cold undertone. At the makeup you should use the colors brown, pink, gold or blue - these colors make your eyes shine. Sometimes it is said that blue-eyed people are particularly loyal, seductive and romantic. When choosing a partner, blue-eyed pull each other men and women. This is attributed to the fact that two blue-eyed people are genetic in turn, only blue-eyed children can have - that is, the man can be sure of the father to be.
• The green eye color is the rarest worldwide at 4%. The people concerned are considered closed and mysterious. Reds and purple are the complementary colors to green and emphasize this color particularly well, including green itself.
• People with brown eyes are seen by their counterparts as loyal, honest, sympathetic and trusting. Warm grays or metallic shades such as gold and copper flatter this color, since brown is a warm color in itself. People with this eye color are often of a warm color type.

Many people believe that eye colors have a meaning. However, these may affect makeup as well clothing have, but no influence on the character of a person, as they are genetically determined.
