Thats not quite true, as far as I have been taught. Humans are in fact coded with the ability to produce green, which isnt a variation of blue and brown. Now Hazel can be a variation of blue and brown or brown and green. Its all on how your pigmentation, density and melanin are coded.
Now any color that isnt blue,green or brown are either a mixture of those or a true genetic mutation.

Yeah. I remember him. He used to live in a mud hut over in shoot holler. We used to call him Old Blue’s Eyes. He was Old Man Brown Eye’s boy. Sharp as a bag of pillows but the girls liked him.
There are also blue people in Kentucky, Ireland and Scotland
Heh.
No. My father is. ;-)

How about the dogs and cats with blue peepers? Have they a common ancestor or does this thing happen now and then? Except to humans where it only happened once.
My money’s on the milkman:) Seriously-don’t know bout brown eyes,but i have heard(don’t know for sure)a blue eyed couple cannot produce a brown eyed child.
I don't know about the animals but I'd like to know why they conclude a single mutation among the humans.
If two blue eyed parents had a brown eyed child then the milkman may have been involved, or some other brown-eyed male.
No...God has blue eyes. ;)
I’d love to be behind Crystal Gayle. Being in front of her would be even better.
“Although not common,two blue eyed parents can produce brown eyed children.”Thanks for the link.Interesting article.
Correction, you both have mutated brown eyes, like me ;-).
This will explain some of that:
Lots of people carry the blue gene, even if it doesn’t show. This covers a lot of territory.
