"your eyes are deep pools that are the color of $hit."


that quote is from Jacob. And this blog is on eye color. Hazel, blue, green, brown, amber, violet, and red are colors that appear in the eyes. Sometimes one eye can be one color and the other can be another color. It is really interesting. How come all our eyes arn't the same color? I don't know the answer to that question but do know that your eye color is polygenic. You inherit your eye color from your parents. The amount of pigments in your iris determines the color. "Three main elements within the iris contribute to its color: the melanin content of the iris pigment epithelium, the melanin content within the iris stroma, and the cellular density of the iris stroma."-Wikipedia. That doesn't really explain it to me entirely. I think having color in your eye is really interesting.
