Eli5: how blue eyes are different

217 views

I keep hearing that other color eyes have pigment to make them that color but with blue eyes they have no pigment and it is the physical structure that only reflects blue.

How is that any different than any other color?

Doesn’t red paint only look red because it reflects red light?

Doesn’t brown pigment only look brown because it reflects brown light?

I thought that is how all color worked, by reflecting only that kind of light.

People say it about blue eyes like it’s somehow different but it sounds the same to me

Be Smart on YouTube has a good video on how there’s technically no blue in nature.
