The appearance of blue and green , as well as hazel eyes , results from the Rayleigh scattering of light in the stroma , a phenomenon similar to that which accounts for the blueness of the sky .

The appearance of blue , green and hazel eyes result from the Rayleigh scattering of light in the iris .


In humans , the pigmentation of the iris varies from light brown to black , depending on the concentration of melanin in the iris pigment epithelium ( located on the back of the iris ) , the melanin content within the iris stroma ( located at the front of the iris ) , and the cellular density of the stroma .

In humans , the pigment of the iris varies from light brown to black .


So far , as many as 15 genes have been associated with eye color inheritance .

There are about 15 other genes which have some effect on eye color inheritance .


Eye color or eye color is a polygenic phenotypic character determined by two distinct factors : the pigmentation of the eye 's iris and the frequency-dependence of the scattering of light by the turbid medium in the stroma of the iris .

Eye color is a visible character caused by two factors : the pigmentation of the eye 's iris , and way light is scattered as it hits the top layer of the iris .
