Blue is the most attractive eye colour according to a new research.

Blue eyes like those belonging to sexy star Angelina Jolie are the most appealing colour according to a poll of 3,000 18-24 year olds by Fresh Look One Day Colour. Angelina, her partner Brad Pitt and his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston all have blue eyes and have all been named in a top twenty of the world's most desirable eyes.

The survey found that young folk with blue eyes are generally seen as being more sexy and kind.

And when asked if they would change the colour of their eyes if they could, only one in ten blue-eyed people wanted to, significantly less than people with other colour eyes.

One in three people who didn't have blue eyes wanted a change.

One quarter of respondents have considered wearing coloured contact lenses(隐形眼镜) to change their eye colour temporarily --- and blue is most wanted colour.

Green was the second most popular colour for those wanting a new look, with respondents saying green-eyed people were usually mysterious and creative.

People with brown or hazel eyes were perceived to be more trustworthy than people with other eye colours.

People with grey eyes were generally thought to be more intelligent than other people, and they were also described as usually being shy.

Blue was the most common eye colour among respondents, with 41 per cent of those who answered the survey having baby blue peepers and 39 per cent having brown or hazel eyes.

The survey also found that 18 percent of people don't know what colour eyes their partner has!
