* In the ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse, Daisy Duck has pretty much always been depicted with black eyes like Donald, but near the end of his comic run, Creator/CarlBarks would suddenly draw her with blue eyes, notably in ''Hall of the Mermaid Queen'' (where she ''also'' gains a head of hair). This trait has been retained in some artistic depictions of Daisy, such as Creator/DonRosa's.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'': Upon switching from the black and white style that defined the comic's first few years, every character was given an eye color never alluded to prior. Interestingly, this would later end up reverted ''again'', with eyes shrinking back down to black dots over time. This means, for a few lesser seen or late arrival characters like Kix, their eye colors were only ever barely visible in a select few strips during the transition.

* In the earliest ''WesternAnimation/FiremanSam'' picture books, Elvis was depicted as having uncoloured black eyes, unlike everyone else who had a proper eye colour. When the series was adapted for television in 1987, his model was given light blue eyes, and he has kept this eye colour ever since.

* ''VideoGame/PacMan'': Pac-Man has almost always been depicted as PieEyed. Even when he's not, his eyes were always black, except for an old international design that had red ''sclera''. The 2010 game ''Pac Man Party'' gave most of the characters a redesign, which included giving Pac-Man blue eyes.



* In general, the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' characters began having eye colors around ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'', with most adaptations following soon afterwards, instead of generic black eyes. For example, Red and Blue gained brown eyes in their remakes, while Ethan and Silver gained blue and grey ones, respectively.
* As a part of the redesigns for ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'', most of the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' characters went from having BlackDotPupils to having colored ones. Sonic has green, Tails has blue, Amy also has green, and Knuckles has violet.

** This is actually OlderThanTheyThink. In the WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts, Donald Duck and Goofy are usually given blue irises. A notable exception to this rule is the 1945 cartoon "WesternAnimation/AfricanDiary," where Goofy's eyes are [[OffModel brown]] instead.
