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.
Line 26:
* Some characters in ''[[Prétear]]'', for example: Himeno (the [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red-eyed]] [[Redheaded Hero]]) and Mawata (blueish-green hair and eyes).
* Fakir in ''[[Princess Tutu]]''.
* Hayate in ''[[
* All the girls except Doremi (who has red hair and literal pink eyes) and Hazuki (shown as having brown hair and orange eyes) in ''[[Ojamajo Doremi]]''.
** Pink can be a tint of red, as can orange of brown. It kind of works.
Line 32:
* Lina Inverse of the ''[[Slayers]]'' fame is a red-eyed redhead, and Xellos is purple-haired with lavender eyes.
* Hikaru and Umi from ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'' have red eyes/red hair and blue eyes/blue hair respectively. Originally, the third of the trio, Fuu, was going to have green hair to go with her green eyes, but the artists decided on giving her blonde hair. Interestingly, the "color-coordinated" jokes went to Fuu and her sorta love interest Ferio, who has green hair and yellow eyes.
* In the anime, Bulma and her daughter Bra from ''[[
* Wendi of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
** Others from the franchise include [[Intangible Man|Sein]] (Turquoise), [[Emotionless Girl|Sette]] (Pink), and [[Church Militant|Schach]] (Purple).
** [[Small Girl, Big Gun|Dieci]] is a more mundane example with light brown hair and eyes.
Line 48:
** Maki don't fit in this trope - she has blue (sometimes it's violet) hair and green eyes.
** Other characters have more natural combinations of hair and eyes (black or brown).
* Very common in ''[[
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'':
** Nodoka, in the manga only, with violet hair and [[Purple Eyes]] ([[Adaptation Dye Job|in the other series, she gets blue or red eyes]]). It [[Shrinking Violet|fits her personality]].
** Yue, as well, gets [[Purple Eyes]] and purple hair in most adaptations of the series (in the first anime series, she gets blue hair).
** The OAD series has fun with this. [[Loads and Loads of Characters|Negi, Chisame, Fuka, Fumika, Makie, Chachazero, Kaede, Chizuru, Misora, Satsuki, Asakura, and Albireo]] all have this, a [[Adaptation Dye Job|stark contrast to the other Adaptations]].
* Half of the members of the central [[Cast Full of Pretty Boys|team of pretty guys]] in ''[[Harukanaru Toki no Naka
* Gojyo in ''[[Saiyuki]]'' has blood red hair and eyes. It's said to be proof that he's a "taboo child", the product of a forbidden union between a human and a youkai.
* Solty from ''[[Solty Rei]]'' (green).
Line 70:
* 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.
* Some [[Saint Seiya]] characters do this - in the manga, [[An Ice Person|Aquarius]] [[Jerk
* [[Gakuen Heaven]] employs this, with the two blue-haired characters, Omi and Nakajima, having light blue and dark blue eyes respectively. Iwai, with gray hair and eyes, also qualifies.
* Light Yagami from ''[[
** Though ''[[
* Most of the characters in ''[[Yumeiro Patissiere]]''.
* The shinigami Watari (golden-blond hair and amber eyes) and the villain Dr. Muraki (silvery-gray eyes and silvery-white hair) in ''[[Yami no Matsuei]]''.
Line 79:
** Also of note is [[Magnificent Bastard|King Saralegui]], who has [[Blond Guys Are Evil|blond hair]] and [[Eyes of Gold|gold eyes]]. Also a plot point as it means {{spoiler|he's part of a very-near extinct race (that was sealed away) with [[Hypnotic Eyes|extraordinary powers]].}}
* ''[[Shiki]]'' has Megumi Shimizu, a bratty [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]] with [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|pink]] eyes and hair.
* ''[[
** In ''[[
* Michiru from ''[[Uta Kata]]'' has both [[Purple Eyes]] and purple hair.
* In the manga of ''[[
** Madame Red's eyes and hair are...well, [[Captain Obvious|red]].
** Ciel's hair is also often shown to be blue, the same color as his eyes, though his hair is a much darker shade.
** His ''eye'', you mean. In the manga, his hair is a very faded blue/gray, while his eyes are almost navy. In the anime, they're almost exactly the same.
* Most or all important characters in ''[[
* Midori from ''[[Midori no Hibi]]'', also notable as the only character in the series (besides her mom) to have naturally unnatural hair color.
* Lawrence from ''[[Spice and Wolf]]'' has gray eyes with gray hair - even though he's only 25.
* As depicted on the manga covers of ''[[Liar Game]]'', Nao Kanzaki and Shinichi Akiyama have (respectively) orange and yellow hair and eyes.
* All of the named girls in ''[[
* ''[[Wandering Son]]'' characters are made to fit this lately. As all characters are either brunettes or raven, the characters all have [[Brown Eyes]] or [[Black Eyes]]. Originally, this trope was subverted, as everyone had [[Brown Eyes]]. The mangaka makes sure to make the eyes have the same shade as the hair, too.
* Tatsuya from ''[[Hekikai no
* ''[[
* Almost everyone in ''[[
* Done to an extent in the ''Digimon'' franchise: All the lead characters have brown hair and brown eyes.
Line 103:
** Ditto for Surge: when asked, she confessed her blue hair "came from a bottle".
** Polaris is all natural, though (when we first met her, her hair was dyed blond. Green is its natural color.)
* [[The Joker]] has green hair and green eyes, [[Depending
* ''[[The Hulk]]'' usually has green eyes to match his hair and skin.

** [[Memetic Molester|Damon Gant]] is also an exception.
Line 137:
** In ''Blazing Sword'', there's Lyn, Rebecca, Wil, Sain, Farina, Fiora, and Canas.

* Most of the cast of ''[[
* Most of the main characters in ''[[Riviera the Promised Land]]'' are subject to this trope--the only notable exceptions are Rose (black hair/green eyes), Ledah (blond/red eyes), and Malice (blond/blue eyes). And maybe Cierra, whose eyes are reddish purple.
** From the same series, we also have Maria and Meria, the heroines of ''[[Knights in The Nightmare]]''. Their antagonist counterparts, Marietta and Melissa, are no different.
* Bartz, [[The Hero]] of ''[[

* Illua from ''[[
* Quite often apparent in ''[[
** 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]).

Line 161:
* Aqua, from ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', has blue eyes and hair.
* Kira from ''[[Infinite Space]]'' has mint-green eyes and hair. In the artbook, the Schneizer brothers' eyes have the same color as their hair (Bastian has dark brown and Dietrich has silver), but in the game, their eye colors are closer to gold.
* The original ''[[Super Mario Bros. (

* In official art (since the games themselves were on [[Game Boy]]), the [[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle

** In ''Dark Dawn'' this continues: Rief and his sister Nowell are of the Mercury Clan and have blue eyes and hair, Amiti has blue eyes and hair, {{spoiler|one of many hints at his ancestry}}, and {{spoiler|during the final sequences of the game, Matthew's normally blue eyes become [[Eyes of Gold]].}}
* Tali from ''[[Mass Effect]]'' is a rather more literal example than most, both her visor and hood being purple in color.
* The entire cast of ''[[Digital Devil Saga]]''. Bonus points for each character being aligned with a specific elemental affinity {e.g. Heat has red hair and eyes, and his elemental affinity is, well, [[Playing

** {{spoiler|The same as most Decepticons' eyes, for a reason. They turn blue after the upgrade.}}
* Raven from ''[[Teen Titans (
** And Beast Boy. Also, Jinx.
* The main girls in ''[[Trollz]]'', except for, technically, Ruby; her red hair is dyed. Her natural color is brown. She still has red eyes, though. [[Invoked Trope|Maybe she dyed her hair to match her eyes]]?
* Henry, June, Loopy, Larry, and Loopy and Larry's dad in ''[[Ka Blam!]]!''
* Found in the [[Care Bears|Adventures in Care-a-Lot]] CGI movie, "Oopsy Does It", where all the Care Bears (and [[Harmless Villain|Grizzle]]) have eyes the same color as their fur. Averted in the traditionally animated tv series, though.
** In ''[[
* The ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (TV series)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]'' cartoon loves this trope - Triplicate Girl has matching hair/eyes when she splits into three (purple, white, and orange). Bouncing Boy has both [[Black Eyes|black hair and eyes]], as does Phantom Girl and, to a lesser extent, [[Black Eyes of Evil|Timberwolf and Kell-El]]. Shrinking Violet in the second season also counts for this trope, having both a purple stripe in her hair and purple eyes to match. The matching eye colours [[Off-Model|mainly didn't carry over to the comic book adaption]].
* ''[[
** Katie and Sadie also both have the black hair black eyes colors.
* Gil from ''[[Bubble Guppies]]''. Doubles as a [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]].
