The bold note of the description of Purple Eyes explicitly mentions that this trope only applies when the eye colour represents the character's specialness, and not just "people with purple eyes". The current page image illustrates exactly that (guy with purple eyes) and not much else.

Some suggestions, which at least gives some vibe of "unusual-ness": [1] [2] [3]

The third one might overlap with Monochromatic Eyes though

I agree, the current image is just a face and a caption.

I like the first suggestion (1.1). The tiarra looks like it could be a part of magical or royal insignia. I also like that the woman and the cat both have violet eyes which implies something very unusual about her.

[up][up]I really like 1.1. What is that from? It looks pretty cool.

It is what it is.

[up]Well, it's a wallpaper image I found by GIS-ing "purple eyes", so I don't know if it actually belong to any franchises.

I am tepidly in support. "Tepidly", because it seems just to be purple eyes.

I am okay with 1.1, but for the sake of having more options:

Norway from Hetalia

Daenerys from A Song of Ice and Fire

No, they have to be purple for a reason and not just vague mysticism or for uniqueness.

I really like the one from A Song of Ice and Fire. She's obviously special if she has a dragon on her shoulder.

It can be any way of being special. Not sure about the first guy as I don't know it, but Daenerys' purple eyes mark that she comes from the royal family. The dragon is a nice touch.

I still prefer 1.1 because the purple colour is vivid and really easy to see, but Daenerys would be ok too.

Take a close look at 1.1...her eyes have cat pupils. It's not as evident in the resize, but it's still there. That said, I do like the Daenerys pic too.

I've just got to throw in my vote for 1.1 - it's subtle, but it's there, and to me shows it quite well.

Ooh, I didn't notice the cat pupils. I like 1.1 a lot more now.

Loving 1.1. The Splash of Color effect makes her eyes the focus of the pic, and the markings + Hellish Pupils is a good indicator of her specialness.

1.2 and 1.3 don't seem even "purple" as much as "same colour as everything". I am somewhat in support of 1.1.

1.1 or Dany, either signal that there is something special about the character.

Should we have a crowner to decide between 1.1 and Daenerys, both cropped/resized?

1.1 can go up with another vote or two, but I'm fine with a crowner if Daenerys gets some more support.

There seems to be a lot more support for 1.1 but we should have an image links with Daenerys, right?
