Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone with silver/grey eyes. That would be interesting to see.

Odds are you have met someone with it, but the eye color shifts depending on what colors are around them.

hint: it's also blue

I knew someone in high school. It is actually much more vivid than you would expect. Silver almost seems more appropriate than just grey.

I have a combination of green/gray/blue. I'll see if I can take a photo later.

Black eyes: Lie still and wait for the alien abduction to end.

Blue eyes get their color the same way water and the sky get their blue color. They scatter light so that more blue light reflects back out.

People with blue eyes have no pigment at all in the stroma, causing the fibers to scatter and absorb some of the longer wavelengths of light that come in. More blue light gets back out and the eyes appear to be blue.

SciShow just did a thing explaining odd conversations that can effect the whites of your eyes, as well as other things like skin. Strangely, they didn't talk about that colloidal silver guy who turned Smurf-ass blue.

I don't think green is the rarest color, maybe the rarest common color
