I also like dark eyes but I have very dark features myself, I always think people with light green or blue eyes have a certain appeal or they appear more expressive but I'm attracted to dark women with dark features similar to my own. I have even heard some cultures also prefer a certain eye color, I've heard that if you are blue eyed in Brazil, you are perceived as more attractive.
It can be cultural, yes. But it's interesting that in some cultures, what is rare is considered beautiful, while in others, what is the most common is considered beautiful.
And it can be individual: some people are attracted to features/phenotype similar to their own, while others like what is different to what they have.
I have dark eyes and dark hair, but my skin is extremely pale... I guess I was always attracted to guys who were a bit darker; maybe I subconsciously wanted to compensate for my paleness.
But I also think it can be about the parents, and there's nothing to be ashamed of. Sometimes, people are attracted to those who share eye colour/phenotype of their parent of the opposite sex. My father's eyes were dark brown, almost black. And that is my favourite eye colour for a guy.
I don't know if it works that way, but I really love dark eyed men.
I guess I was never in the whole blue eyes hype, though. I never got what is so beautiful about blue eyes per se; it depends on the eyes. Sometimes, they're gorgeous, and sometimes, they look creepy (this goes for all eye colours, I guess, but with blue, it's so noticeable because they are very light).
For example, and this is just my opinion, of course, the eye colour works for Eddie Vedder but not for Rob Lowe.
There are examples like this for all the eye colours, but at the end of the day, it's all individual.
