[4] [35] Hazel eyes often appear to shift in color from a brown to a green. Although hazel mostly consists of brown and green, the dominant color in the eye can either be brown/gold or green. This is why hazel eyes can be mistaken as amber, and why amber is often counted as hazel in studies, and vice versa.
Oculocutaneous albinism is a form of albinism involving the eyes , the skin (-cutaneous), and the hair. [1] Overall, an estimated 1 in 20,000 people worldwide are born with oculocutaneous albinism. [1] OCA is caused by mutations in several genes that control the synthesis of melanin within the melanocytes. [2]

It may be inherited, or caused by genetic mosaicism, chimerism, disease, or injury. [2] It occurs in humans and certain breeds of domesticated animals. Heterochromia of the eye is called heterochromia iridum or heterochromia iridis. It can be complete, sectoral, or central. In complete heterochromia, one iris is a different color from the other.

Paschou et al. found "essentially perfect" agreement between 51 self-identified populations of origin and the population's genetic structure, using 650,000 genetic markers. Selecting for informative genetic markers allowed a reduction to less than 650, while retaining near-total accuracy.
