Yeah, that is a great depiction of what I am talking about. Hard to tell if it is where the different colored pigments meet and blend, or if the black melanin pigment cells are less abundant right at the edge and the other color tends to "bleed" through the dark pigment or whatever. Seems like yellow and reds bleeding through various color combinations of what looks to be BLACK could produce a greenish hue in some, but who knows.



It could very well have alot to do with other underlying pigment(s) in certain individuals as is illustrated in many types of amels and hypos when the melanin is taken out of the picture.



Thanks for your personal insight on it and the photo.
