The total number of genes that contribute to eye color is unknown, but there are a few likely candidates. A study in Rotterdam (2009) found that it was possible to predict eye color with more than 90% accuracy for brown and blue using just six SNPs. [16] [17] In humans, eye color is a highly sexually dimorphic trait. [18]
A fictitious color or imaginary color is a point in a color space that corresponds to combinations of cone cell responses in one eye that cannot be produced by the eye in normal circumstances seeing any possible light spectrum. [4] No physical object can have an imaginary color.
Grey eyes make up about 3 percent of the world's population—the second rarest eye color. There are also rare cases of violet and red-colored eyes. What Determines Eye Color?
A black eye is an injury. An iris of the eyes that is very dark brown may appear almost black. Special color contact lenses can be used to make the eyes appear black. Aniridia is a congenital condition in which the iris is poorly developed or nonexistent, giving the eye a black color because only the pupil can be seen. Black eye may also refer to:
Much terminology has existed and does exist for the classification of color blindness, but the typical classification for color blindness follows the von Kries classifications, [26] which uses severity and affected cone for naming.

Your eye color could mean way more than a simple genetic pigmentation.
Monochromacy (from Greek mono, meaning "one" and chromo, meaning "color") is the ability of organisms to perceive only light intensity without respect to spectral composition. Organisms with monochromacy lack color vision and can only see in shades of grey ranging from black to white. Organisms with monochromacy are called monochromats.
