This is the second class of eye color, in minority, correspondent to only one twentieth of the population.
Light eyes, in the form of Light Blue, Hazel, Green, Gray and Amber shades altogether, is a class symptomatic to 17.23% of males and 14.81% of females.
The mean percentage for this class is therefore 16% of the population.
Although broadcasted from North to South, it is Entre-Douro-e-Minho and Beira Baixa that fulminate this class, with the province of Trás-os-Montes displaying a relatively elevated concentration among the males. Beira Alta and its respective meridional provinces are however pointedly sparse.
The megalometric character in the North of the country, is yet best revealed by districts.
With effect, light eyes predominate in Guarda, Porto, Vila Real and Viana do Castelo.
The extreme South of the country and Islands, exhibit an offset for this class of eye color.
