Understanding Eye Color: Types, Genetics, and Melanin

Eyes can be many different colors, including brown, blue, hazel, green, amber, and gray. Eye color is determined by the amount of melanin in the iris, which is the colored part of the eye. People with more melanin have darker eyes, while those with less melanin have lighter eyes. The color of a person's eyes is determined by their genetics, and it can vary depending on the lighting conditions.
