Green is the rarest, though green eyes are actually the dominant gene over blue eye color (Meaning if someone's parents gave them the genes for green and blue eyes, the green would be expressed.)
Green is only prevalent in Ireland, Iran, Pakistan, while blue is common throughout Europe, Canada, the United States, the Middle East, North Africa, and Australia.
Green eye color is rarest for the sheer fact that they're just not as many green eyed people in the population as blue eyed.

green is the rarest eye colour.
Eye color is a polygenic trait and is determined primarily by the amount and type of pigments present in the eye's iris.
Eye color exists on a continuum from the darkest shades of brown to the lightest shades of blue. Seeing the need for a standardized classification system that was simple, yet detailed enough for research purposes, Seddon et. al developed a graded one based on the predominant iris color (brown, light brown, green, grey, and blue) and the amount of brown or yellow pigment present. There are only 3 true colors of eyes; brown, blue, and green, because there are only 3 known genes that affect eye color. The other eye colors people see are just a result of slight variations in the amount of melanin in the iris. Brown is the most common, blue is second, and green is rarest.
