interested in the different frequency of deafness between yellow eyed whites and green eyed whites as it seems to be a contradiction.
If I understand it correctly, yellow eyes have more pigment in the eye than green eyes do hence; they are more similar (on a continuum) to blue. Shouldn't green eyes be more like blue eyes in this case?
I always thought that the following represented the "scale" of pigment in a cat's eye:
Copper - Orange- Yellow - Hazel (yellow/green) - Green - Blue Green - Blue. With copper having the most pigment and blue the least (if any).

Would love to hear more from you.
