Just like other colours of the eye, amber colour is a function of genetics and heredity. The two factors that influence the eye colour are:
a) pigmentation of iris
b) scattering of light around the iris.
The hues are influenced by the amount of melanin present in our eyes. We believe eye colour is a function of the iris. But it not true. The eye colour of a person is determined by the amount of melanin present and how light gets dispersed across this base of the melanin.
