Genetics of eye colors

In eye colors, which is the most dominant gene? Is it the one for brown, or is the one for black stronger? And is green stronger than blue?

I was late for work this morning, because I got stuck in Zeno's paradox.

Eye color is determined by a combination of brown and yellow pigments. The production of these pigments in the eye is controlled by at least three genes. The genetics of eye color are not fully understood.

In general, brown is dominant over green and blue, and green is dominant over blue.
