I have hazel eyes. My Mom, as mothers do, always told me that they made me special because hazel eyes are rare. Recently, I got curious and researched whether my eye color is truly rare. After looking it up, I think my Mom embellished the facts, just a bit 

Apparently, violet and grey eyes are much rarer than mine.   I remember that Liz Taylor was known for her violet eyes.

Thereafter, green eyes extremely rare with only two percent of the population having green eyes.  I come in next, with 18% of the population having hazel eyes. Blue eyes are next, with 27% of the population having them. And, the most common eye color is brown.

Even though my Mom wasn’t technically correct about the rarity of the color of my eyes, I still like them. What color are your eyes?
