Answer 1

Green eyes are just more rare.

Think of it this way. Singing really loud at 2 am is dominant to quiet slumber. But why is it that most people get a good nights sleep? Because there is very little singing really loud going on at 2 am.

There just aren’t a lot of green eyes out there to be available to dominate blue eyes.
