Blue-eyed humans have a single, common ancestor
Variation in the colour of the eyes from brown to green can all be explained by the amount of melanin in the iris, but blue-eyed individuals only have a small degree of variation in the amount of melanin in their eyes. "From this we can conclude that all blue-eyed individuals are linked to the same ancestor," says Professor Eiberg. "They have all inherited the same switch at exactly the same spot in their DNA."
I'm honestly not sure how to characterize my own eye-color. Grayish blue-green? Greenish gray?

My eyes are a sort of "blue steel grey"
You know that first person w/ the freaky blue eyes must have been a real hot commodity with the opposite sex.
I have blue eyes.
Never helped me get laid though, I had to use the same bullsh*t lines most guys use! ;-)
Hispanic ladies love blue eyes, they want their babies to have them.

That's why disagree with idea that blue eyes have no Darwinian value. While they're functionally no better than brown eyes, they *look cool* and might have very well been perceived as a desirable novelty.
Could the colour of my eyes really have had an effect on my success with the opposite sex? I have had the pleasure of dating almost 300 girls since turning 14 up to getting married at the age of 27! I must admit that even though I'm now 57 years old, I still find that females of all ages are still attracted to me. One things for sure, it CAN'T be the size of my manhood!
