What Does Your Eye Color Say About Your Personality?


Despite brown eyes ranking at the bottom of our perceived attraction scale, approximately 79% of the world’s population sports melanin-rich eyes. And around 10%, 5%, and 2% of people have blue, hazel, and green eyes, respectively. Seeing as gray eyes are the most attractive but happen to be one of the rarest eye colors in the world, it seems uniqueness and attractiveness are heavily linked.”



More than half of the respondents (51.6%) wished their partner had a different eye color, and individuals with blue eyes were much more likely to exclusively date people that bore the same.  To some degree, this held true for all of the participants considering blue eyes were voted the most desirable in a partner despite gray eyes being deemed the most visually pleasing.


This might have something to do with the shades scarcity: only 3% of the world’s population has gray eyes. Interestingly, most people are content with the irises they were born with. Less than 20% of the survey pool would permanently change their eye color if they could.


Gray Eyes:  Intelligent, quiet, serious

Blue Eyes: Expressive, affectionate, confident

Green eyes: Adventurous, mysterious, mystical

Hazel eyes:  Determined, unpredictable, courageous

Brown eyes: Kind, reliable, patient



On the key question that you’re likely wondering about,  blue eyes were twice as likely to be associated with sexiness and hazel eyes were determined to be the least romantic by a considerable margin.


People with this eye color make the most money. 

Hue makes more?

I couldn’t begin to comprehend the why, but blue-eyed respondents were the most likely to receive raises and or promotions in the past year. Our unsexy hazel-eyed comrades can take some solace in being the highest earners; bringing in about $38, 240 a year.



Whether the windows to your soul are a piercing blue or an earthy brown, the eye color we’re born with may tell others more about us than we thought. From attractiveness to being intelligent, confident, unpredictable, and reliable – and even down to the salary we bring in each year – how we view ourselves and how others view us might be strongly connected to the color in our eyes.”
