Well my dear, each of us inherit different genes from our parents. The gene for eye colour has different alleles (an allele is different forms of the same gene) there is an allele for brown colour eyes, and allele for blue colour eyes and an allele for green colour eyes. The allele for brown eyes is dominant and the other two are recessive. This means that if the mother passed the allele for brown eyes and the father passed the allele for green eyes then the offspring will have brown eyes because it always dominates. It gets a bit complicated after that, because if a father passes the green eye colour and the mother passes the blue lets say, which are both recessive then it will depend on the genotype of them and you can construct a punnet square to see which is the most likely outcome. I won't go into genotypes because that gets a bit complicated and it doesn't really answer your question anyway but if you want to know more than just research it in wikipedia.

becuase of mutations in the pigmant of our eye, which is inherited
for you to have a certain colour eye, and your parents eyes are different, it is the dominant gene that you would have.
for example ,blackis more dominants over blue, green, hazel and grey, so if one of your parents have any of them, but the other has black, you will have black eyes.

each of us is born with different eyes than others. they're like fingerprints-unique. the colour is given by the way light bounces off your retina.

I don't, mine are both hazel. David Bowie has different coloured eyes though, you could ask him.

Our genes release a diffrent type of pigment that influences the color of our eyes

So we aren't all clones and robots, it's called being unique
