* ''Lost Island Theme Park'': Members of the Mura Clan's Shaman order gain "the green eyes of Sight" after taking their oath, though this comes with the price of the "Shaman's Curse" of continuous nightmares of Volkanu's destruction that has plagued the order since Volkanu was sealed away the first time.

* In the ''Series/Charmed1998'' episode "The Eyes Have It", a magical gypsy has green eyes that connect to her ability to use green-colored magic, and shoot green beams out of the same eyes. When another character kills her and takes her eyes, he is able to use the same powers.

* In the ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' episode "The Eyes Have It", a magical gypsy has green eyes that connect to her ability to use green-colored magic, and shoot green beams out of the same eyes. When another character kills her and takes her eyes, he is able to use the same powers.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' episode ''Recap/FangsALotJohnny'', Susan and Mary's eyes turn green after they are turned into vampires.

Since eyes are the WindowsOfTheSoul, many authors mark these characters' uniqueness visually by giving them an eye color that is unusual and distinctive. This trope is when eye color is a giveaway for the special, magical nature of a character or group of characters.

* PurpleEyes

Expect these characters to [[EyesAreMental keep their eye color if their power includes shapeshifting]]. These unusual eye colors are often a form of {{foreshadowing}}, and the more positive variants are also a {{Common Mary Sue Trait|s}}.

* ''VisualNovel/SeduceMe'': Mika, the protagonist, has green eyes that certainly highlight her connection to the supernatural, [[spoiler:and her potential to become a demon herself in the sequel]].

In fiction, TechnicolorEyes are often used to denote people with special, supernatural abilities. Since eyes are the WindowsOfTheSoul, many authors mark these characters' uniqueness visually by giving them an eye color that is unusual and distinctive. This can play out in two ways: a class of people with the same power will all have the same, unusual eye color (often ColorCodedWizardry is at play here). Alternately, a character who is TheChosenOne or with uniquely special powers will have a unique eye color from everyone else in the world.

What this means depends on the world. In a world where [[EveryoneIsASuper magical abilities are commonplace]], this trope wouldn't come into play unless a character has an unusual skill or special role. Similarly, in a world where all characters have different eye colors for [[ColorCodedCharacters visual distinctiveness]], this trope is unlikely to come into play. Please note that this is restricted to colors that are impossible in real life, unless the work is explicit about the meaning and mundane colors accompany fantastic colors. Impossible variations on real life eye colors, such as electric blue or lime green, are acceptable.

A subtrope of MeaningfulAppearance, ColorCodedEyes, TechnicolorEyes, and MarkOfTheSupernatural. Compare ElementalEyeColors, when eye color signifies the type of [[ElementalPowers (elemental) power]], rather than the distinctiveness of it.

What these powers and traits are may vary. Perhaps they have TheGift with some inherent magic, perhaps they underwent some transformative ritual or training, or maybe they are a HalfHumanHybrid or favored by TheFairFolk. Regardless of flavor they have a supernatural power that is special or unique within their world.

* VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil: Jade's eyes are vividly green, unlike other charcaters, and she definitely meets the mystical, magical connotations with the eye color given her [[spoiler:[=DomZ=] powers such as the ability to bring people back to life. The [=DomZ=], an alien race with the power to manipulate life force, are green-coded, and Jade is code-named after their chief god.]]

* In the ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' episode ''Recap/FangsALotJohnny'', Susan and Mary's eyes turn green after they are turned into vampires.

* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': The protagonist's green eyes and green blood reflect the fact that his body was shot through with ectoplasmic energy that gives him special ghost powers. His attacks are also the same color.

* Green Eyes

* Jojen Reed in ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' is a "greenseer" (i.e. he has prophetic abilities) and has eyes of an odd shade of moss green as a physical sign of this.

* GreenEyes

So you have a character with special, magical powers. Perhaps they have TheGift with some inherent magic, perhaps they are TheChosenOne, favored by the FairFolk, or a HalfHumanHybrid, but regardless of flavor they have a supernatural power that is special or unique within their world. How to display this? Since eyes are the WindowsOfTheSoul, many authors mark these characters' uniqueness visually by giving them an eye color that is unusual and distinctive.

Similarly, in a world where all characters have TechnicolorEyes for [[ColorCodedCharacters visual distinctiveness]], this trope is unlikely to come into play. What counts as unusual can vary, from colors that are downright impossible in real life, colors that are rare, or colors that exist but are given an unusual tone (such as brilliant blue eyes). However, it's safe to say that brown eyes don't count.
