Green eyes are the rarest among common shades, found in only about *2%* of the global population. While gray eyes are also uncommon, making up less than *1%*, green eyes maintain their status as the least common of the major colors.
Other unusual eye colors, such as red and violet, typically occur in individuals with albinism but are not generally classified among the standard eye colors.
This makes green eyes particularly unique and fascinating in discussions about human eye color diversity.
