      Been thinking about telling someone with blue eyes about the concept of "structural coloration" "The color of your eyes is fascinating because it's the result of the scattering of pure white light Your eyes are blue the same way the sky is blue, or the sea" "Aww"

      "If I were to take your iris apart with a pair of tweezers, I would find only a series of completely colorless, transparent membranes" "Uh" "And if I were to put them in a blender and grind it up, there would not be a single particle of usable blue pigment" "Wait"

      "That means the color in your eyes can't ever be extracted It's only a result of your eyes being assembled just as they are now" "Okay that's better" "And it's the reason the color can change so dramatically in different lighting, from green to blue to gray" "That's nice"

      "It's because blue eyes are a specific mutation that fails to produce melanin in the outer mebranes of the iris but not the inner If your iris were completely transparent, like in true albinism, it would reveal the blood vessels in the inner eye and be red or pink" "Wait no"

      "This is why blue eyes are very rare in other mammals and associated with specific genetic diseases, like how blue-eyed cats are usually also deaf It's why white people are more prone to age-related macular degeneration and the need for reading glasses" "Oh come on now"

          "Producing blue color through true pigmentation at the molecular level would be a superior solution, it's just that there aren't any convenient bright blue compounds living things can synthesize that wouldn't be toxic in even small amounts" "I'm going home"

          Oh, I know that; it's also why we're generally more photosensitive -- to our detriment. Blue eyes are pretty, but they do a very bad job at regulating light levels.

          Thought while there's no blue pigment, I do maintain that eyes are "really" blue, just like the sky is really blue. There's lots of reasons things look the color they do. Rayleigh scattering is a perfectly cromulent reason for it.

          Don't forget we're also more likely to get cataracts and ocular melanoma.

          This reminds me of in Physical Science class in Jr high I asked the teacher why there were no green stars on the Stellar spectrum & he pointed out that green is the central visible wavelength so the White stars were "green" insofar as their spectrum was evenly balanced.

          The reason that there are no green stars is because early mammals were nocturnal.

          I didn't need glasses until I was 34, that's a decent run

          I mean... yeah. I have pale gray eyes and I'm very light sensitive.
