Blue eyes to Heaven rise
Grey eyes go to Paradise
Green eyes in Hell tell lies

Black eyes in Purgatory get wise
—French nursery rhyme

Human eyes come in many colors in real life, and even more colors in fiction. The color quite often indicates something about the character -- brown is ordinary, green is exotic, and red is dangerous. Magical characters often have the eye colour associated with their Elemental Powers.
