Eye colour

Contributions to the eye colour, using the CMYK colour space if simulated on the computer:

• Stroma pigmentation
  • [EMA] transparent to dark brown (Eumelanin)
  • [LCA] transparent to brownish yellowish (Lipochrome)
• Stroma dispersion type
  • [SDT] blue to milky-white
• Stroma transparency
  • [STP] near-transparent (dark eye colours) to near fully opaque (light eye colours)
• Ephitelial cell layer thickness
  • [ECL] opaque (then it is black, but appears dark grey due to the scattered light entering at oblique angles and getting reflected often) to mostly opaque (reddish brown from the colour of the retina shining through)

The eumelanin amount gene (EMA) is the same as for hair colour.

Changes due to the albinism:

• Stroma pigmentation: always fully transparent for both
• Stroma dispersion type: no change
• Stroma transparency: no change
• Ephitelial cell layer thickness: fully transparent (thus blood-red from the retina colour)
