Gray eyes are VERY rare. BTW, Anne of Green Gables has green eyes at first which apparently change to gray in the second book, which is a bit nutty. Another set to add: Wheel of Time series has a TON of gray eyes. Since it's fantasy I'm not as bothered but overall it drives me nuts. Green eyes are also relatively rare and mentioned a lot in books.

This, it is said, is because grey eyes are more pleasant than brown, but not as cliched as blue.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03816096081381689162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870246501416217318.post-34507307803649544272020-05-17T09:54:15.482-07:002020-05-17T09:54:15.482-07:00I have noticed this for 20+ years in literature --...I have noticed this for 20+ years in literature -- classics and modern fiction.

Often times writers use they eyes and their color to help give us insight on the personality of the character. Grey eyes are someone who is calm or stable. They also once signified a person who hid a good deal of wisdom.<br /><br />Yes you listed off a good amount of books. But compared to the massive amount of books out there it's a slim list. One of my friends had never met or even read about a person with grey eyes until they met me. The shock on her face when I told her I don't wear contacts still makes me smile. My eyes are what's considered to be the true grey not just a blue dilute. You can tell true grey by the sudden color around the pupal. <br /><br />In a person born with true grey eyes much if not all of the color is pushed into small concentrated areas normally surrounding the pupal giving the effect to the eye of having colored flecks. Mine to be specific are grey with amber flecks around my pupals.<br /><br />Hope this helped or at least added to the conversation.shadowchaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254952298435804846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870246501416217318.post-54353172228916197222013-04-30T20:42:20.625-07:002013-04-30T20:42:20.625-07:00I love grey eyes!

Grey eyes tend to look grey or green depending on the lighting, they aren't very boring though its fun when people try to say my eye color. It really just depends on the lighting with grey eyes!

I never thought about so many characters having grey eyes though. It's such a bland colour so to me it just makes the character bland! I didn't think they were all that uncommon though lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665026076003714782noreply@blogger.com
