This is something of a logical counterpart to [[Common Eye Colors]]: If a character has freaky, cool, or otherwise unusual hair colours, their eyes are liable to match. "Unusual", of course, needs to be taken with a grain of salt when it comes to [[Anime Hair]]. Comic books and western animation are also likely to display this trope.

{{examples}}
 
== Anime and Manga ==
* Just about ''every'' character in the ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' manga, except the characters with black hair, who have dark gray or dark brown eyes, and the natural blondes, who have brown eyes.
Line 59 ⟶ 58:
* Most of the characters in ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'' have matching hair and eye colors. There's the four main characters (brown, yellow, blue, and pink), Yoshinoya (green), the landlady (brown), Chika (light purple), Natsume (blue-green), Nori (blue gray), and Nazuna (blond). In fact, the only character who doesn't is the Principal, and that's only because [[Eyes Always Shut|you never see his eyes]].
** Nazuna actually does not fit, she has dusty blonde hair and dark brown eyes.
* Hare and Weda from ''[[Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Haré+Guu|Hare + Guu]]'' (blue).
* [[Suzumiya Haruhi]] and Kyon have the mundane brown hair/eyes combination, while Mikuru has brown-orange hair and what appears to be amber eyes. The real award goes to Asakura Ryoko, with [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|identical shades of navy blue]] hair and eyes.
* ALL girls in ''[[Kanamemo]]''.
Line 67 ⟶ 66:
* Karin from ''[[Naruto]]'', with red hair and red eyes, as well as Jugo, who has orange hair and orange eyes (though [[Adaptation Dye Job|his eyes are more reddish in the anime]]).
** When you add in Sasuke's black hair and eyes, that makes [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|Sui]][[Purple Eyes|getsu]] the only one on their team who doesn't fit this (however, his eyes do match his ''shirt'').
** It depends on the adaptation. [http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/238/797569-keiichi_maebara_default_large.jpg In the original videogame]{{Dead link}}, he has blue eyes, and in the anime, he has purple eyes. Also, Hanyuu has light purple hair and dark purple eyes, so it kinda works.
* The Mist People in ''[[Kemono no Souja Erin]]'' all have green hair and green eyes, including the half breed protagonist.
* Shana from ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]'' has matching red hair and eyes in her Flame Haze form.
Line 147 ⟶ 146:
* Quite often apparent in ''[[Pokémon]]''.
** To make matters worse, a few gym leaders' eye have been ''recolored'' to match their hair color. Yes, I'm talking about [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:HeartGold_SoulSilver_Whitney.png Whitney] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:HeartGold_SoulSilver_Falkner.png Falkner] (and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:HeartGold_SoulSilver_Jasmine.png Jasmine]).
*** Before pics of [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Whitney_Theme_Song.jpg Whitney]{{Dead link}}, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Anime_Falkner.png Falkner]{{Dead link}}, and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Jasmine_anime.png Jasmine]{{Dead link}}.
** Game Freak has been doing this with most of their characters lately. It's very apparent with the protagonists, where only [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Emerald_Brendan.png Brendan] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Emerald_May.png May] have different colored hair/eyes.
** [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Wally Wally] IS this trope. And not just his hair and eyes, his pants and even ''his Pokémon'' (manga-wise) are all green. {{spoiler|And in the Adventures manga, he had to wake up Rayquaza. Needless to say, it's [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:384Rayquaza.png green].}}
Line 181 ⟶ 180:
== Webcomics ==
* Lorenda from ''[[Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures|DMFA]]'' has pink hair and eyes.
* Awesome Girl from ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20100716054603/http://www.wcihigh.com/?p=259 WCI High]'' likes green.
* Everyone, with a few exceptions, of ''[[Legend of Setar]]''.
* ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' parodies the [[Powerpuff Girls]] example below in [http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook/?date=2004-12-22 this filler strip].
