Different Coloured Eyes Day

Today’s obscure holiday is Different Coloured Eyes Day. Today has two reasons to celebrate. First of all, it celebrates diversity of eye colour. Wouldn’t the world be boring, if everyone had the same colour of eyes?

Secondly, it recognizes an eye condition called Heterochromia. People who have this trait, have two different colours of eyes. One eye may be brown, while the other is blue. Famous people who have Heterochromia include David Bowie, Jane Seymour, and Christopher Walken.

Your eyes are an important part of your appearance. They are also important in communications. When you look into your lover’s eyes, you need to like what you see. Making “eye contact” just wouldn’t be the same without different coloured eyes Isn’t it great that we have a variety of eye colours to set us apart from one another?

Eye colors include:

Shades of brown
Shades of blue
Shades of green
Black
Grey
Hazel

Celebrate Different Coloured Eyes Day by taking particular notice of the eye colours of everyone you see.

What’s your eye colour?
