What word describes the allele for green eyes?

The allele for green eyes is typically referred to as a "recessive" allele, as eye color is determined by multiple genes, and green is often expressed when the dominant brown allele is absent. However, in some contexts, the specific term "green" can simply describe the color itself rather than a distinct genetic term. In genetics, the combination of alleles inherited from parents determines the phenotype, which in this case would be green eyes.
