Different Eye Colors
Different Eye Colors. Genetic variation has allowed us to exhibit a variety of eye colors from the darkest shades of brown to the lightest tints of violet and blue. There is a pigment known as melanin present in your iris which produces your eye color.
The iris has pigmentation that determines the eye color. Iris' shade is a very complex phenomenon: each visible, percieved color is a result of the combined effects of pigmentation, texture, and interlacing of the tissues and blood vessels within the iris. Often confused with hazel eyes, amber eyes tend to be a solid golden or copper color without flecks of blue or green typical of hazel eyes.
Hazel eye color has also been defined as the medium-color between light brown and dark green.
Complete heterochromia(heterochromia iridis) means one iris is a different color than the other.
The iris of your eye contains two different layers: the back layer and front layer. Central heterochromia is an eye condition where there are two colors in the same iris; the central (pupillary) zone of the iris is a different color than the mid-peripheral (ciliary) zone. Babies are usually born with blue eyes.
