    In the U.S., brown eyes are the most common, at about 40%, followed by Blue at around 33%, most of the other colors near 10%, and then red at the bottom, with less than 1%.

    In a sample of 324 patients from 5 “urban clinics” in Massachusetts and Maryland (therefore spanning many socioeconomic and racial groupings), those investigators reported:

    32% blue/grey irises

    15% blue/grey/green irises with brown/yellow specks

    12% green/light brown irises with minimal specks

    16% brown irises with specks

    25% dark brown irises

    I don't know, but obviously an overwhelming majority have brown eyes, since that encompasses nearly all Asian and African populations.
