Lunamor she/her Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 I was curious as to what percentage of the shard was lighteyed vs darkeyed. I personally am lighteyed.
Calderis he/him Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 I put darkeyed... But I don't think our natural eyes actually fit either category as far as Roshar is concerned
Philomath she/her Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 You know. I actually find this question a little tricky. My eyes are a greyish with a hint of blue. But they are a more medium shade than “light.” I’d probably say that would make me a light eyes but I have a feeling that on Roshar the differences are a lot more obvious and easy to tell. 1

HSuperLee Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 I'm honestly not sure. If I'm indoors my eyes look brown, but if I'm in the sunlight or next to a light source they're deep green. I'm probably darkeyed though, just as they never get super bright, especially compared to my mother, who has pale green eyes and definitely would fall into the lighteye category. As would my sister, though hers are pale blue. 1
Agent34 Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 I put darkeyed but if I'm in light then my eyes aren't all that dark. They stay brown but I've heard them described as almost amber and in a certain light they've looked orange, I guess I'm on the lighter side of darkeye society (having lighteyed family members probably helps with that). I'm definitely not the "needs light to show the colour" kind of dark like on Roshar.
SwordNimiForPresident the sword/that sword Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 I wasn't sure if this was a question of temperament, social status or eye color, so I went with eye color. I have light eyes. I am a darkeyes by birth.

I asked myself the same question (only thinking of the shade of green instead of blue). As @Calderis already said above, it might be difficult to fit our eyes in Roshar's categorization. I selected lighteyes for myself, though my eyes are not very light green. Just green with some amber strokes near the pupils and a darker greenish blue circle around the irises (I have never analysed my eye color like that before ). But my eyes color can be identified easily even in shady lights. Hope that's enough. After reading SA I always wished for dark green or dark blue eyes that only sparkle in their color when hit by a stream of light. But are dark blue eyes really possible in humans?
duladen he/him Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 My eyes are bright green. Bow before me, cremlings!
Turin Turambar Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 @duladen, You have the wrong quote. Also, many people's eyes are are medium, so they are witeyed. (Or lighteyed, because really, because that's the natural inclination.)
