Eye color has been a great conversation starter for many people. It can make us look unbelievably gorgeous and appealing. But scientists have found a deeper meaning of eye color that attempts to reveal an individual’s personality type.

Researchers at Orebro University in Sweden conducted a study to find out the link between our personality and the patterns of iris. They found that eye color is affected by the same genes that form our frontal lobes. This means that there is a shared personality or behavioral type between people who have the same eye color.

You can check for your own eye color and determine whether the description is correct in the list given below:

Dark Brown Eyes

People who have dark brown eyes are natural leaders. Those who have eyes which almost appear black have the rarest color. These people are often secretive and mysterious. However, a study in Current Psychology reported by Medical Daily found that those with darker eyes are generally thought of as agreeable.

If the amount of melanin in your body is high, your eyes will be darker. Melanin operates as an insulator for connection between the brain cells. So, more melanin means that your brain will react quickly. According to Personality and Individual Differences , “people with very dark eyes tend to drink considerably less than those with lighter eyes.”

Brown Eyes

If you have brown eyes then you might be loyal, trustworthy, respectful, and gentle – but certainly not submissive. Chronobiology International published a study in which it was found that those with brown eyes sleep 2 hours lesser than those with light-colored eyes. They also have a hard time waking up in the morning.

Blue Eyes

The quality that blue eyed people possess is strength… inner and physical. However, people may see you as shy, untrustworthy, or weaker than you really are. They might not be able to determine the real you very soon.

The Daily Mail reported that in 2006 a team of German psychologists found that children with blue eyes tend to be “wary of new things” and were less open-minded than others.

Grey Eyes

Grey eyes are very rare. If you have dark grey eyes then either you are a well-balanced person or you are a “two-sided coin” type of a person. You can be a different person to different people. The positive or negative effects of the same will be decided by your emotions and how you deal with your personality.

If you have light grey eyes then you have to work hard in life in order to achieve your goals. You keep your guard when it comes to handling people and relationships. But with time your shell can be broken and you care a lot for your loved ones.

Hazel Eyes

It is a difficult color to describe. It bore its name because of similarities with the color of hazelnut. Hazel eyes look like they change color from green to brown according to The Eye Doctor Guide. Hazel eyes are definitely very uncommon and such people are unique.

People who have hazel eyes can be difficult to read so a particular personality cannot be pinned down. But such people have a balanced personality. They do not jump to the extremes.

Green Eyes

People with green eyes tend to appear mysterious, sexy and alluring. They have proportioned amount of melanin which makes them agreeable yet dominant, strong yet cautious.

Ophthalmologist Surgeon Doctor Hamadi Kallel says that those with green eyes are “original, creative and perform well under great pressure.” He also says that such people have “an air of mystery and a quiet self-sufficiency.”
