Good! I have seen yellow eyes only once and that was one of my direct ancestors.

In seriousness, actual yellow iris is a near complete lack of pigment, so only the lipofuscin (a fat-like substance) is showing.

People with green eyes have this, but also have melanin.

To greatly over-simplify, a type of iris albinos.
