Green eyes are more rare. There is not an actual gene for green eyes, protein differences cause some eyes to be green.

Well, I don't know which one is rarer, but I can tell you what makes an eye blue or green. The back of your eye, your retina, is colored with brilliant blue hues. Your genes produce proteins that are in your iris (the part of your eye that we say is blue/green/brown/etc). The color of your eye depends on the color of your retina and how much protein is in your iris. Light bounces off your retina; therefore, if your retina is a brilliant blue, and there are very few proteins in your iris, your eyes will also be a brilliant blue. If there are proteins to block some of the light being reflected off of your retina, then your eyes may be blue green or hazel. If your iris has a lot of protein, you eyes would be either brown or black.
This is also why our eye color fades with age. Over time, light "bleaches" our retinas, so the color that is reflected off of our retina fades with time as well.
