How common are they? Percentage? I'm green eyed and been told its rare? Is it?

Green is dominant to blue but recessive to brown.
Blue eyes are becoming less common in U.S. residents who identify themselves in census and other records as being of European, non-Hispanic ancestry. This is probably because the blue-eyed trait tends to be recessive or less likely to express when genetic influences of brown or green eyes are present.
Here is another site that discusses it more in depth.

I think it rare to have green eyes i knew one girl that had green eyes that was the only person i knew who had green eyes. I think the common percentage is people mosly have brown eyes then blue eyes and last green eyes.

I think in a way they are rare. I've loved one guy and he has green eyes. They are beautiful so I bought some green contacts. That may be crazy but I really don't care.I'm sorry I don't know the percentage of them.

Green eyes are the third rarest eye color, first being violet and second blue-green. About 8 % of the world's population has green eyes.
