I was watching this yt video by "Incel TV":
Where he talks about why light eyes are considered so much more attractive. Upon seeing the video I see a comment that states the following:
"blue eyes allow for a visible pupil. being able to see the dilation of the pupil allows for better intention reading and therefore faster trust building. Blue eyes look more trustworthy. light skin creates higher facial feature contrast and makes expression reading easier. facial feature beuty is bound to functionality. a broad flat nose is less effective on a short snout like humans have, so a prominent slim nose is seen as attractive. women have proportionaly larger eyes and less blocky faces, this make reading emotions easier. this reduces the benefit of blue eyes."
This gives us a whole lot of interesting theories we can expand on but I want to stick mainly to the part of pupil visibility because I think it has not been discussed on here before. This theory explains a lot. Firstly it explains why both white people and light eyes of any color are considered more attractive. It also explains why european features are considered more attractive. The comment explains as well why females often pull off darker eyes and skintones compared to men.
Since it explains the reason light eyes with pupil visibility look trustworthy, I then thought that this can be reversed back to if dark eyes with no pupil visibility look more low trust. I quickly realized that it does. Since the opposite feature has the opposite results I would say it strengthens the thesis as a whole. This is for example why Richard Ramirez descends with light eyes, because he looks higher trust and his dark triad halo gets somewhat weaker.
I want to say of course eyecolor still matters but my thesis is that the pupil visibility is what matters more than just the color. This is where my theory goes a bit unconventional compared to what is mostly believed on here. Following my theory for example T10 and T07 is preferable to C40 and D20 since they are lighter and have better pupil visibility. Conventionally speaking following the "blue > green > hazel > brown" theory C40 and D20 mogs T10 and T07 because they are green and blue instead of brown, I disagree. The only crucial part here is pupil visibility, color doesn't really matter that much.
TL;DR: Pupil visibility of the iris is more important than the color itself. This is because a visible pupil allows for better intention reading and faster trust building. For example light eyes of any color mogs dark eyes of any color except for when you want to look as low trust as possible, then the opposite holds true. Light blues, light greens, light browns, light hazels, and ambers mogs dark blues, dark greens, dark browns, and dark hazels. This is not exactly about the color itself but rather the pupil visibility and this is an attempt of explaining why pupil visibility is the psychological secret behind beautiful eyecolors instead of a color as a whole.
Also when it comes to colors itself I think the vibrancy as well as limbal ring and potentially central heterochromia is more important than a color overrall, might make a thread about that.
