Are green eyes a genetic mutation?

As a green eyed person, I’m curious about this. Brown eyes are dominant and blue eyes are recessive, so how would green eyes be classified?

“is it a mutation” isn’t really a meaningful question. Everything started out as a mutation, and some of those mutations propagate through the gene pool. At this point, you’re going to be getting your green eyes from a parent who has genes for green eyes, not from a mutation that occurred between your parents and you.

It seems that brown eyes are somewhat dominant over all other colors, but it’s not as simple as Mendel wanted it to be
