The hair and eye color does not and cannot tell what descent you come from. Yet I'm Irish and I don't have fair skin at all. I rarely get sun burned. Studies have shown that generally speaking Irish people are genetically closer to the peoples of northern Spain. About 90% of the Irish have a fair skin, but 60% have no freckling. The slightly darker shade of skin (10%) is found in N Leinster (not in the west). The Irish really don't have many purely brown eyed people but instead hazel eyed individuals (often called brown).

What color hair do most Irish people have?

As most European populations, Irish are predominantly brown-haired. This is according to various anthropological studies done on various Irish populations at various times. One of them by the Harvard School of Anthropology proves that.Among adult males, 40% for dark-brown and 35% for medium brown, and 22% light brown to reddish. Concerning reddish hair, they are well among the highest in world around 10% for adults, but behind Scotland (13%). Due to the recessiveness of red hair, it usually masked by a dominant color which is brown. The proof is up to 46% of the Irish carry the recessive gene for red hair.Black hair in its pure state is rare in Ireland (3%), but added to the 40% of dark brown and you understand why some Irish were referred to by Americans as "Black Irish". (In a European and American context dark brown and black are often not differentiated; to the scientists 'black' hair cannot have any brown undertones.)Please see related links (forum and wikipedia) regarding hair colour and "black irish"


What is the difference between orange Irish and green Irish?

orange Irish are mainly protestants who see themselves as british, they are descended from English and scottish planters who arrived in Ireland in the 17th century. The meaning behind orange is the orange order which celebrates the battle of the boyne in 1690 when king William of orange (protestant) defeated king James (catholic). Green Irish are mostly roman catholic and see themselves as Irish. They are descended from Irish natives who have always lived in Ireland. Green is the general colour of Ireland and this is why they are called the green Irish.
