SiameseSam Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Some studies say that theres no such thing as black eyes, and that "black" eyes are only dark brown eyes. Do you agree or disagree with that? I personally disagree, because some people who say their eyes are brown, have eyes that appear to be black.
Strange Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 According to this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color In humans, the pigmentation of the iris varies from light brown to black I personally disagree, because some people who say their eyes are brown, have eyes that appear to be black. But the fact that some brown eyes appear to be black doesn't mean that there are not black eyes.
StringJunky Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 It looks like there are people that have eyes that, under normal conditions, appear black. This is some actor called Ben Barnes, if that means anything to you, and this crop I took is as scrutinising as I could find which shows the darkest shade of brown. In all the other pictures of him his eyes appear proper black.

StringJunky Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Would you call his eyes brown or black? I'd call them black with a hint of brown. If they were black with a hint of blue you would say they were blacker but I haven't searched for anyone with that colouration...

Strange Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color It says 0% of the world population has black eyes. That could just be rounding. It also says that 0% have grey eyes, and then goes on to discuss grey eyes and where people have them.
SiameseSam Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 That could just be rounding. It also says that 0% have grey eyes, and then goes on to discuss grey eyes and where people have them. How do you know eyes that look black arent just very dark brown?
Strange Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 How do you know eyes that look black arent just very dark brown? I don't. (I don't really care either, to be honest.)
Greg H. Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 That could just be rounding. It also says that 0% have grey eyes, and then goes on to discuss grey eyes and where people have them. My wife actually has grey eyes with hazel flecks.
StringJunky Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) How do you know eyes that look black arent just very dark brown? If one is going to be pedantic, then true black does exist because it would necessitate zero surface reflectance which AFAIK doesn't exist. Edited January 8, 2015 by StringJunky
