Poll Eye Color

[PureCrimson]

Thank you so much @Avro Arrow for your research! Do you feel we might have an odd representation because we're probably disproportionately European descent? And like brown eyes are very, very dominant in most of Africa and Asia?

Brown eyes are the most adept at sun exposure; ie, the least sensitive, thus it makes sense why they'd be the most common. Evolution in action.

hazel but borderline brown. I see flecks of gold and green undertone. It's neat but from a far I get labeled brown eyed. I really don't care. heh.

Someone forgot to give my eyes that particular memo!

Lighter colours i.e. Blue eyes the dominant colour in Northern Europe, with darker colours being more common in Southern Europe.

Apparently this is also down to evolution with blue eyes being considered more attractive. Not sure if I buy that myself but who can say if that was the case when the mutation appeared thousands of years ago.

mostly posting this because I'm repping Old Gray style there

Is your eye grey @SPCTRE? Yours looks very green to me!

Mine are more a silvery-grey.

Ohhhh lol I had absolutely no idea you could change how you view the message board, gosh now I feel silly.

Gah! I just looked at the other ones, I'm back to the white default, lol. Maybe I'm just used to it because it's all I've known since being here, but it feels so much easier on my eyes (no pun intended).

At the very bottom left, there's an icon like a tear drop. That's the "Style Chooser"

Big Blue is the correct setting for the board.

That is a fact.

Thank you kindly for showing me where to find that on any page, so I don't have to go into my settings to try. I just tried your blue one, and oh dear it burned my poor cold pale eyes!

Old grey is the kindest, especially in a dim room

Yeah, my eyes are very dark brown, and whenever there's the least bit of sunlight outside I have to wear sunglasses or my eyes hurt like crazy.

By the way, this whole discussion reminds me of this:
