But did you know there are more ginger people than just their unique coloring? Here are some special facts to drop your jaw.

Redheads are the rarest of all human coloring. In fact, natural redheads make up about less than 2% of the entire world population. Their rare color is a result of a mutated gene.

A combination of red hair and blue eyes is the rarest natural coloring combination in the entire world. Most redheads tend to have brown or green eyes and varying shades between these two so seeing a redhead with blue eyes is something akin to witnessing a real-life, mutated miracle.
