    This doesn’t make sense to me. The iris doesn’t collect light for vision. The pupil expands or contracts to vary the amount of light that reaches the retina. Iris color should have nothing to do with it.

      From the first source on the linked study, they describe it as the following:

      (…) This functions as a mirror providing the second opportunity for photon capture by reflecting light back through the retina, enhancing visual sensitivity.

        It is if you live in a part of the world that is dark for months at a time during the winter, like reindeer do.

        Most reindeer live North of the Arctic Circle, where the sun does not rise above the horizon in winter months. I suspect most summer days are brighter than the few hours of twilight the reideer get in December.

        The pupil dilates, combined with more uv light seasonally, changes the structure of the iris and thus it’s color. (It reflects differently)

      A lighter iris color correlates with higher light sensitivity and better low light vision. The higher density of pigment in a darker iris blocks light better.

    TL;DR: Eyes with lighter color irises have better low light performance in at least some circumstances.

    Looks like brown and purple to me.

          Tis a joke about color perception :) to me, in the photo the eye does look like oversaturated blue (maybe due to blown out white around the eye)

            OK. I suspected something like this.

            Colour perception, different display… who knows. :)
