It's not as simple as dominant/recessive. And there's certainly go G for green eyes.
At one time scientists thought that a single gene pair, in a dominant/recessive inheritance pattern, controlled human eye color. The allele for brown eyes was considered dominant over the allele for blue eyes. The genetic basis for eye color is actually far more complex. At the present, three gene pairs controlling human eye color are known. Two of the gene pairs occur on chromosome pair 15 and one occurs on chromosome pair 19. The bey 2 gene, on chromosome 15, has a brown and a blue allele. A second gene, located on chromosome 19 (the gey gene) has a blue and a green allele. A third gene, bey 1, located on chromosome 15, is a central brown eye color gene.
Geneticists have designed a model using the bey 2 and gey gene pairs that explains the inheritance of blue, green and brown eyes. In this model the bey 2 gene has a brown and a blue allele. The brown allele is always dominant over the blue allele so even if a person is heterozygous (one brown and one blue allele) for the bey 2 gene on chromosome 15 the brown allele will be expressed. The gey gene also has two alleles, one green and one blue. The green allele is dominant to the blue allele on either chromosome but is recessive to the brown allele on chromosome 15. This means that there is a dominance order among the two gene pairs. If a person has a brown allele on chromosome 15 and all other alleles are blue or green the person will have brown eyes. If there is a green allele on chromosome 19 and the rest of the alleles are blue, eye color will be green. Blue eyes will occur only if all four alleles are for blue eyes. This model explains the inheritance of blue, brown and green eyes but cannot account for gray, hazel or multiple shades of brown, blue, green and gray eyes. It cannot explain how two blue-eyed parents can produce a brown-eyed child or how eye color can change over time. This suggests that there are other genes, yet to be discovered, that determine eye color or that modify the expression of the known eye color genes.

Laura is right. There is a generic phenotipic representation of eye color which is blue or non blue. Non blue represents black to green and everything in between. Its easy to see that non blue eyes are predominant in our population, but we need to first establish which shade or shades of green we are looking for. A punnet square will not tell us this because the true genotype (BB, Bb, bb) is more of an interaction (if you will ) between genes on specific sites on specific chromosomes. Yes the the human genome is the crazy code to break, but to answer the question, I would say in this day and age of hybrids and more interracial reproducing green eyes will occur more frequently than blue eyes.

Of the two,I would have to say blue, but brown eyes are more dominant then any other.

Green eyes are more dominant because you only need one 'G' allele to express green eyes. Blue eyes are completely recessive and you need two 'b' alleles to express blue eyes.
GG -green eyes
Gb -green eyes
bb- blue eyes

Probably blue. I don't know if I've ever seen anyone with green eyes.
