Line 16:
Sometimes referred to as "boat lights", a reference to the red and green lights that mark port and starboard on boats and aircraft. Note that for proper boat lights the red eye would be the left eye. Souseiseki's eyes<ref>the one in the background [[Rozen Maiden|desu]]</ref> are proper boat lights, while Suiseiseki's are reverse boat lights.
Note the [[Real Life]] diseases of which [[heterochromia]] is often a symptom do not appear much in fiction. This trope is not to be confused with [[Fish Eyes]].
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]]
* In ''[[11eyes]]'', Kakeru has a [[Eyes of Gold|blind right eye]], covered by an [[Eyepatch of Power|an overly large eyepatch]] and a completely normal blue left eye.
* Jio Freed from ''[[666 Satan]]'' has one blue and one red eye, as well as half-and-half hair. This is mainly to symbolize the fact that he [[Super-Powered Evil Side|is a host to Demon 1i, Satan]].
Line 27:
* Nei in ''[[Avenger]]'' has heterochromia to indicate that {{spoiler|she (or he, it ain't exactly clear, either) is both a [[Robot Girl]] and a real human. Well, actually, she/he is neither but has the potential to become one of the two.}}
* Sven from ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]'' has one eye (his left) that's orange and one eye (his right) that's green. It's rather surprising that the green eye (which is a normal color for a human to have) is the special foreseeing eye, whereas the unusual orange colored eye doesn't have any powers.
** His mismatched eyes are also [[Justified Trope|justified]] in a
* In ''[[Black Lagoon]]'', Balalaika is occasionally shown with her right eye glowing yellow-ish.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander|Nenene]] and [[Handsome Lech|Toki]] from ''[[Code Breaker]]'' both have one blue and one brown eye. This almost gets Nenene killed when fire <s>
* {{spoiler|Jeremiah Gottwald}} in ''[[Code Geass]]'' ends up as this after he is made into a cyborg, with one orange eye and the replacement one being green. Arguably, Geass users as well, as when the [[Power Incontinence]] hits, it's usually only in one eye at first, meaning one eye will be its normal color, and the other will have the Geass symbol permanently imprinted on the iris.
* Almost-example: Spike's eyes on ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' are slightly different shades of brown. It's very hard, but possible, to notice this before he brings it up to Faye. The reason is that one is a [[Artificial Limbs|cybernetic replacement]] for an eye he lost in a very symbolic and personal tragedy.
** Spike's
** This feature was brought up rather explicitly in the climax of episode 20, "Pierrot le Fou", where it is revealed that {{spoiler|the cat that was present during the title character's horrific experiments (and was responsible for his [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|ailurophobia]]), had heterochromia, leading to him freezing up at a crucial moment during the final showdown with Spike due to the light making his cyber-eye glow in a similar fashion to the cat's, allowing Spike to defeat him}}.
* Allen Walker from ''[[D.Gray-man]]'' has one gray eye and one [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red cursed eye]]. Note that his eye is only red when an Akuma is around, otherwise it is the same gray as the other.
Line 41:
* Urumi Kanzaki from ''[[Great Teacher Onizuka]]'' is heterochromatic and {{spoiler|was conceived via artificial insemination}}.
* Allelujah Haptism from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' has a [[Gray Eyes]] and a [[Eyes of Gold|gold]] one. His hair always obscures one of the two, cluing any viewers into whether it is he or his evil [[Split Personality]] Hallelujah that is currently in control. {{spoiler|In the end, he ends up pulling his hair back to reveal both eyes, allowing both [[Split Personality Merge|personalities to simultaneously control his body, giving him the reflexes of two people]].}}
* Albireo from ''[[.hack//AI buster
* The [[Artificial Human]] [[Onmyodo|onmyouji]] Abe no Yasuaki and his [[Expy]] Abe no Yasutsugu from the ''[[Harukanaru Toki no Naka de]]'' series both have the light-brown/green combination. [[Fetish Fuel|Somebody must have a thing for this]], since the trend dates back to ''Haruka'''s [[Romance Game|sister franchise]] ''Angelique'' (see above).
** The fifth game in the series seems to be continuing the tradition with Amami (blue and purple). (It's a lot more obvious on Tohko Mizuno's illustration than on the CG image.)
Line 53:
* Oskar von Reuentahl from ''[[Legend of Galactic Heroes]]'' has one blue and one brown eye, which is the bane of his life -- {{spoiler|it reminded his mother of her illicit affair and drove her to suicide, which caused his father to hate him with a passion.}}
* Rosario from ''[[Lupin III]]: The Columbus Files'' has different colored eyes for plot-relevant reasons. {{spoiler|her left eye was discolored by the laboratory explosion that killed her mother and the peculiar red-brown color allows her estranged [[Mad Scientist]] father to identify her as his child.}}
* Vivio, from ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS]]
** In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
* Asuna from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has heterochromia. The exact significance is unknown, but it's especially notable for its ''absence'' in adaptations that don't get into her [[Backstory]].
** {{spoiler|Volume 26's cover has revealed that Arika Entheofushia -- Asuna's relative and Negi's mother -- has/had this as well}}.
Line 60:
* ''[[Naruto]]''
** If we're counting implants, then it would be appropriate to mention Kakashi Hatake's singular Sharingan eye, which he keeps hidden under his askew headband. {{spoiler|Ditto for Danzo. One of the other Kage's bodyguards has a Buyakugan in same setup.}}
** Zetsu from , although has two yellow irises, has different color sclera (the whites of the eyes) to go with his [[
** {{spoiler|As of chapter 514, [[Big Bad|Tobi]] has been confirmed to have implanted a Rinnegan in his left eye, while his right remains a Sharingan.}}
* The eponymous [[Hell Hound]] of ''[[Nora]]''; when in human guise, his right eye is red and his left is yellow.
Line 66:
* The Count D from ''[[Pet Shop of Horrors]]'' has heterochromia, one eye being purple and the other, whom he hides under his hair, is golden. In the manga, it's explained that {{spoiler|this is meant to be representative not only for his non-human nature, but also for his inheritance: his father and grandfather have golden and purple eyes, respectively. Since each one has a very different personality, and D has personality traits from ''both'', his heterochromia symbolizes this dual nature}}.
* Ramses from ''[[Red River]]'' has one brown eye and one golden eye.
* In ''[[Rosario
* In ''[[Rozen Maiden]]'' Suiseiseki has red and green eyes, and was originally nicknamed "Boatlights-chan" by fans before she became known as simply "[[Verbal Tic|Desu]]". Her twin sister Souseiseki, introduced later, has the same eye colors but reversed. Appropriately, they are [[
* ''[[Saint Beast]]'': Goh{{context}}
* One of the characters of ''[[Saki (manga)|Saki]]'' has this, and {{spoiler|if Mihoko [[Eyes Always Shut|opens her right eye]] to reveal it to you during a Mahjong game, you could kiss your chances of winning goodbye}}.
* [[Big Bad]] God of War Homura from ''[[Saiyuki]]'' has one [[Eyes of Gold|golden]] eye, and one blue one, as a result of his [[Half-Human Hybrid|father being a human]].
** As does Hakkai when removing his power limiters.
* The perpetually-bandaged Abiru Kobushi from ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]]'' has one brown and one blue eye, though we don't find out until a [[Hot Springs Episode|trip to a bath-house]] temporarily removes the eyepatch.
* Mikuni from ''[[Shangri-La]]'' has one [[Eyes of Gold|gold eye]], and one blue eye.
Line 80:
* In ''[[Sukisho]]'', whenever Yoru takes over Sora's body, one of his eyes turns gold while the other remains blue.
* In the second novel of ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'', Haruhi gives Mikuru one colored contact to wear during their filmed home movie, because "different colored eyes give an air of mystery". Hey, if anyone [[Genre Savvy|knows her tropes]], it's Haruhi.
** Though anyone watching the first broadcast episode ''alone'' won't know why it was there ''for one shot only''. Other than <s>continuity issues</s> [[A Wizard Did It|Haruhi did it]], it's a case of [[All There in the Manual|All There
* Syaoran of ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' has differently shaded eyes to signify how one is blind. This ''further'' symbolizes how {{spoiler|he only has half a soul, donated to him by the real Syaoran, of whom he is a clone. When the real Syaoran awakens, the Syaoran we've been seeing not only turns evil, but rips out Fai's eye (containing his magic) and eats it, turning his blind eye blue.}}
** By the last chapter of the manga, it's possible (although not confirmed by a color image) that
* [[Big Bad]] (of at least one arc) Rido Kuran of ''[[Vampire Knight]]'' has one blue eye and one crimson eye, a trait that shows up in the people he possesses. This is the first clue to Rima Touya that something's [[Not Himself|not quite right]] about Shiki...
* [[Tyke Bomb]] siblings Segiri and Suika in ''[[Weiss Kreuz]]: Gluhen'' each have one blue eye and one brown eye.
* Lord Darcia of ''[[Wolf's Rain]]'' has one blue eye and one golden wolf's eye, to show that {{spoiler|he's found a way to turn himself into a wolf so that he can enter the Paradise forbidden to humans. Fortunately his plan is thwarted by Kiba and Cheza, but his evil wolf eye lives on...}}
* Watanuki in ''[[
* [[CLAMP]] loves this trope. In ''[[X 1999]]'', Subaru has one green eye and one brown eye {{spoiler|that once belonged to Seishirou.}} While not technically heterochromia, Seishirou has a blank white glass eye that produces the same air of mystery.
** These characters are from ''[[Tokyo Babylon]]'' and there is a detailed reason as for why there are like this. Still count.
Line 98 ⟶ 97:
* Sasha in ''[[Blassreiter]]'''s final episode had them.
* In the [[Distant Finale]] of ''[[Gurren Lagann]]'', Simon has developed one spiral-shaped eye similar to Lord Genome's, likely to convey that he has mastered Spiral Energy.
* The smug womanizer former monk Julio Cesare from ''[[
* In ''[[Rental Magica]]'', Itsuki was in an incident that turned his right eye into something [[Evil Eye|demonic looking]]. Before that, said eye was still an unnatural red.
* In ''[[Another]]'', {{spoiler|there's the reverse-boatlights variant, when we find out that under Misaki's [[Eyepatch of Power]], hides a green clairvoyant glass eye ([[Creepy Doll|from a doll]]), in contrast to her right normal red.}}

* Delirium of The Endless, from ''[[The Sandman]]''. It's part of her overall chaotic look. This disappears when she pulls herself together to be serious. She hates doing this as it is hinted it actually causes her physical pain.
** Both lampshaded and subverted, as one line specifically states she can't remember which eye is supposed to be green and which one blue with sparkles. If you watch carefully, they do reverse from time to time.
Line 112 ⟶ 110:
* Nicodemus West in ''[[Doctor Strange]]: The Oath'' has one brown eye and one blue.
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* After her astral body's left eye is damaged/destroyed during the battle in Hell in [https://www.fanfiction.net/s/179718/5/Ranma-and-Akane-A-Love-Story chapter 5] of Eric Hallstrom's epic ''[[Ranma and Akane: A Love Story]]'', Akane Tendo's actual left eye becomes solid black with swirling clouds of red and gold -- and sometimes flashes entirely metallic gold.
==
* Hiroyuki Morita's ''[[The Cat Returns]]''
* A nonhuman/humanlike appearance example: in Shane Acker's ''[[9|Nine]]'', the rims of [[Mad Oracle|6's]] lense eyes are mismatched in color (one is more gold-ish, while the other is a gray color.) [[Mad Eye|They're also different sizes.]]
* Brother Aidan's cat Pangur Ban from ''[[The Secret of Kells]]'', who has one blue eye and one green eye. The viewer may be interested to know that Aisling of [[The Fair Folk]] has green eyes, and human Brendan has blue.
* Tank from ''[[Surf's Up]]'', although it's very difficult to see (one blue, one brown).
== Films -- Live-Action ==▼
* In ''[[28 Weeks Later]]'', the mother and her son have heterochromia. When she becomes a vector for [[The Virus]], it serves as a clue to her and her son's shared biological resistance to the [[Zombie Apocalypse|virus]], and an indicator of when they become exposed but remain unturned: one eye becomes bloodshot like a normal <s> zombie's</s> [[Not Using the Z Word|infected]] would, the other remains clear.

* ''Supernova'': A device meant to protect a single user from the stresses of light-speed travel is used by the two main characters despite warnings that such misuse can result in a merged [[Body Horror]]. (The others were busted.) Of course, that'd have been a ''major'' [[Downer Ending]], so only some minor merging takes place, resulting in their exchanging an eye, each now having one blue and one brown.
* ''[[Demolition Man]]'' gives the villain Simon Phoenix these. He also has non-natural hair, which fits in with the near comic-book nature of the film.
Line 137 ⟶ 134:
* In ''[[Don't Look Back (film)|Don't Look Back]]'', the characters' appearances slowly change over the course of the movie. Characters who are midway through their transformations often have mismatched eyes.
== [[Literature]] ==▼
▲== Literature ==
* Chip, the hero of Ira Levin's novel ''[[This Perfect Day]]'', has one brown and one green eye. This causes him some embarrassment, since he lives in a world where genetic engineering and restrictions on who may reproduce have produced a world of near-identical people, all of whom have brown eyes. He eventually has the green eye replaced by a brown one, as part of a scheme to lull the [[Big Bad]] into thinking he was finally accepting his role in society.
* Tyrion Lannister in ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'' has, in addition to several other congenital defects, either heterochromia or partial aniridia, with one green eye and one black one.
** Also, the minor character Shiera Seastar had one green and one blue eye, from the Dunk & Egg novels set in the same 'verse.
* ''[[Discworld]]'':
** In
** Just so you realize how [[Ax Crazy]] Teatime really is, in a world where magic <s> has costs and often goes haywire</s> ''is the equivalent of nuclear weapons'', he ''stuck a magical eyeball into his own head''.
** Nanny Ogg's cat, Greebo, also has mismatched eyes, one's a normal yellow cat's eye, and the other is pearly white and blind, presumably due to one of the many fights he's had with animals much bigger than him.
Line 150 ⟶ 147:
* [[The Chosen One]] in the old fantasy magazine series ''[[The Ancestral Trail]]'' had one green and one grey eye. The green eye saw only good, the grey eye only evil.
* Candy Quackenbush from ''[[Abarat]]''.
* In the ''[[Anne of Green Gables]]'' sequel ''Anne's House of Dreams'', a pair of cousins have identical
* At the end of the fifth ''[[Artemis Fowl]]'' novel, the titular character gets one of his eyes switched with another character as a result of interdimensional travel, leaving both with one blue and one hazel eye.
** Interestingly, two books prior in The Eternity Code, Artemis has this because of an iris cam.
Line 157 ⟶ 154:
* In the book ''[[The Wild Road]]'' one of the characters, Mousebreath, is a male Tortoiseshell cat with an orange eye and a blue eye.
* In Sarah Monette's ''[[Doctrine of Labyrinths]]'', the wizard Felix Harrowgate has one blue eye and one gold eye. The blue(?) eye is a result of an injury, so mostly blind. The colors give him no specific powers, but it does freak people out.
* The horribly inbred Martense clan from ''The Lurking Fear'' by [[H.P. Lovecraft]] all have this as a distinguishing mark. They have brown-and-blue eyes apparently. {{spoiler|This is the tip-off that the swarm of [[Humanoid Abomination
* In Kristin Cashore's ''[[Graceling]]'', all "Gracelings" have this as a distinguishing characteristic. It becomes important to the plot when you find out that {{spoiler|one of the kings is missing an eye, and it later turns out that he is Graced with a very effective version of [[Charm Person]], as it can work even second- and third-hand, via rumors}}.
* The [[Known Space]] novel ''Juggler of Worlds'' by Larry Niven and Edward M. Lerner reveals for the first time that Nessus, whom Niven created 41 years previously, has one red eye and one yellow eye. (Being a Pierson's Puppeteer, he has two heads with one eye each.)
* All the clone "shatterlings" of Gentian Line in "House of Suns" by [[Alastair Reynolds]] have one green eye and the other a "wintery jackdaw blue", since they're all [[Opposite
* In the [[Matthew Reilly]] novel ''Scarecrow'', [[Big Bad|Jonathon Killian]] has a green and a brown eye.
* Morzan in the ''[[Inheritance Cycle]].'' Though he doesn't appear in the books, Jeod describes him as having one blue eye and one black one, in a similar case to that of Tyrion Lannister mentioned above.
Line 167 ⟶ 164:
* The evil sorceress Xayide has one red eye and one green in ''[[The Neverending Story (novel)|The Neverending Story]]''.
* Evil Diogenes Pendergast from the Agent Pendergast novels by Doug Preston and Lincoln Child, has one hazel eye and one pale blue eye. It's revealed late in the series that pigment loss in the blue eye is due to an injury which blinded him.

Line 183 ⟶ 180:
* Hnick from Dmitri Yemets's book series ''Methodius Buslaev'' has one blue eye and one black eye according to book 3. Romasjusik is also described as having one golden eye and one orange eye. Both cases aren't natural, since the latter has artificial body, while former's body [[Nightmare Fuel|is stitched from at last two different corpses.]]
* In ''[[Babylon 5]]''{{'}}s later seasons, G'Kar loses an eye {{spoiler|to Centauri torture}}; when he receives the replacement, it is blue instead of red (due to supply shortages), giving him no end of consternation and a singularly unbalancing countenance. He's quite relieved when a second replacement, of the right color, arrives.▼

He's quite relieved when a second replacement, of the right color, arrives.
* Chief Inspector Derek Conway in ''[[The Bill]]'' had this condition, mainly because the actor who played him did as well (and they didn't want to bother mucking about with contact lenses trying to make his eyes the same colour).
* In one chapter of ''[[Goosebumps]]'' TV adaptation, there is a girl, best friend of the protagonist of that episode who has different coloured eyes, one blue and one in a darker greenish tone. That's because {{spoiler|she is in fact a huskie dog, and all the kids in town, protagonist included, were puppies genetically modified to become human}}.
* Lieutenant Aiden Ford of ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' has one eye turn completely black due to an accident during a Wraith attack on the city. This same accident also got him hopped up on and addicted to [[Psycho Serum|Wraith enzyme]], causing him to go AWOL and hunt down the Wraith on his own.
* The 1999 ITV miniseries adaptation of ''[[Oliver Twist]]'' gave Edward "Monks" Leeford one brown eye and one blue eye. Funnily enough he was played by [[Marc Warren]], who went on to play Jonathan Teatime
* From ''[[CSI]]'', {{spoiler|Lady Heather's daughter has one brown and one blue eye. This becomes a horrific plot point when the daughter becomes a victim of an insane Mengele wannabe who prefers his women with two blue eyes.}}
** "Ian Moone", a recent{{when}} villain on the series, has one blue and one brown eye. In this case, it's presumably done to make him recognizable to the audience, as he wears a skin-tight bodysuit and full-face mask.
* ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger]]'', episode 43, features this and [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]] with Fuwa Juzo, the half-monster semi-villain. Can be seen at 6:24 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDeNEHtftrQ here.]
* The Chief in ''[[Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left]]'' has these, as well as a mechanical monacle.

* Murdoc Niccals of the virtual band [[Gorillaz]] has two different colored eyes, one black and one red.
** 2D temporarily had this during his coma year, as one eye was normal and the other fully black due to a fracture.
* [[David Bowie]] has a permanently dilated pupil in his left eye, the result of being in a fight, that gives him the appearance of having two different colored eyes, making one look to be darker (sometimes dark blue, sometimes brown) than the other. For a clear view, look closely at the cover of '[[wikipedia:File:Blacktiewhitenoise.jpg|Black Tie White noise]]'
* [[Marilyn Manson]] sometimes wears non-matching contact lenses to ''look'' as if his eyes don't match.
* Tim Mc'Ilrath, vocalist of [[Rise Against]], has those too. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130717142703/http://www.tkbbblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/tim_mcilrath.jpg One brown, and one blue.]

▲* [[WWE]] wrestler [[Wrestler/Kane|Kane]] has one light-blue eye and one brown eye, with the pupils being slightly different sizes (an effect achieved by the wrestler wearing non-matching contacts, like [[Marilyn Manson]]). Early in his run, it was implied that the blue eye was actually damaged by the fire which had "scarred" him, and that he was blind in that eye. Note to the WWE brain-trust: even we wrestling fans realize that eye color does not work that way.
** Actually, the original implication wasn't that the fire caused Kane's eye to become miscolored, but that it was a ''false'' eye altogether, implying that not only had Kane lost ''sight'' in that eye, he physically lost the ''eye'' as well. This was ignored as the years went on, and now the mismatched eyes aren't even commented on at all, but because it's such a well known feature of the character, it has remained despite no longer even seeming to matter in [[Continuity Snarl|the character's admittedly screwed up history.]]

* Sudoku (Jigsaw's sister) in ''[[Last Res0rt]]'' also has heterochromia, with no special explanation attached other than her father (Cypher) having green eyes and her mother (Meridian) having blue. She's the only one in the family with this trait though.
Line 312 ⟶ 301:
* Anibelle from ''[[The Wotch]]'' has one red eye and one green eye. Easiest to see in [http://www.thewotch.com/index.php?epDate=2007-01-24 this filler comic] done by a guest artist, but can easily be seen [http://www.thewotch.com/index.php?epDate=2008-08-12 normally,] too.
** Oddly enough, though, these clearly mismatched eyes weren't present in her appearances prior to that guest comic. Possible case of [[Ascended Fanon]]?
* Wally in ''[[Zebra Girl]]''. One reason for this may be
* Charlie of ''[[The Zombie Hunters]],'' a [[Half-Human Hybrid]] ''[[The Undead|Zombie]].'' has one normal, pale blue right eye, while the [[A Sinister Clue|left]] eye has a [[Black Eyes of Crazy|black sclera]] and a [[Glowing Eyelights of Undeath|glowing white]] iris, like those of [[Our Zombies Are Different|most other Zombies]]. He easily conceals it with a special contact lens.
* Kimiko of ''[[Dresden Codak]]'' has one brown natural eye and one blue mechanical eye as of the "Dark Science" arc, though originally her natural eye color was blue and thus the synthetic one matched when it originally showed up.
* Feral from [[Strays]]. His green eye is natural,the red one was caused by something else. Feral, being mute, can't tell us what.
* Berri in ''[[Fiyora Nya]]'' has one red eye and one green eye. Though they apparently change colors due to her other souls.
* In a variant, Lilith/ {{spoiler|Judy}} in ''[[Girl Genius]]'' has eyes that are mismatched in size, due to being a construct. She wears glasses that make them look like they're the same.
* In ''[[Doomsday, My Dear]]'' the main character has one blue and one green eye {{spoiler|because this is a trait of a carrier of [[The Plague|the Blood Plague]]. Several other characters turn out to have this undesirable trait as the comic progresses }}
* Chev from ''[[Papi Nyang]]'' has one blue/green and one yellow eye.
* [[Continuum (webcomic)|Continuum]] [[Justified Trope|justifies]] this with a character with one blind, discolored eye, best seen [
* ''[[Patchwork and Lace]]'' features Sheol, who not only has different eye colours, but [[Flesh Golem|different-shaped eye slits]].
* Chaz Villette from ''[[Shadow Unit]]'' has one brown eye and one greenish-hazel.
* Achmed the Snake from the ''Rhapsody Chronicles'' has eyes that are not only mismatched in color, but also in size, shape, and quite probably, species. Also, a face that looks like scar tissue, apparently.
Line 338 ⟶ 326:
* In ''[[The Masked Girl]]'', Griffin has one brown-red eye and one blue eye.
* Several characters from ''[[Homestar Runner]]'' such as Marzipan (one of her eyes is larger than the other), Bubs (one blue eye and one black eye), the Poopsmith (one black eye and one white eye), and Hyperactive Strong Sad.
* Neo from ''[[RWBY]]'' is an interesting case, in that she appears to have complete conscious control over her eye color, and ''chooses'' to have one brown eye and one pink eye most of the time. Her "default" eye color appears to be white.

* Mr. Lee from ''[[Alpha Teens On Machines|A.T.O.M.]]'' spend most of the first season as blue-eyed... then suddenly he appears with different-colored eyes. No one (except viewers) seemed to notice. {{spoiler|And the next thing we know, he's revealed as [[Evil All Along]]. He turns out to be a [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]. and an [[Evilutionary Biologist]] to boot.}}
* ''[[The Batman]]'s'' version of Tony Zucco (the guy that killed Dick Grayson's parents) actually has a blue right eye, and a brown left eye.
Line 348 ⟶ 336:
* A few characters from [[Steven Spielberg]]-produced Warner Bros. cartoons have one pink eye and one bluish-green eye, namely Dizzy Devil from ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' and Pesto from ''[[Animaniacs]]''.

* Ned from ''[[Doug]]'' has one [[Black Bead Eyes|black bead eye]] and one round white eye with a black iris.
== [[Real Life]] ==
===
* This is actually a very common condition in real life. One can be born with it, or one iris may change color as a result of trauma to the eye. Though in the former case, it's more common for the "odd" iris to be only ''partially'' a different color.▼
* [[Alexander the Great]] had heterochromia; one eye was very light blue, the other very dark brown, according to Plutarch.
* Celebrities with heterochromia include [[Dan Aykroyd]], Jane Seymour, [[Mila Kunis]], Kate Bosworth, [[Christopher Walken]], and [[Lee Van Cleef]] (who wore coloured contacts).
* MLB pitcher Max Scherzer (currently{{when}} with the Detroit Tigers) has one blue eye and one brown eye.

* [[Catherine Tate]] has central heterochromia [http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/5360/tateeyes.png as seen in "Turn Left"].▼
* [[David Bowie]]
* [[Gracie Allen]] had different colored irises. When TV shifted to color, she retired (leaving [[George Burns]] as a solo act); she felt that it was too distracting/embarrassing to work in color.
=== Other Cases ===
▲* This is actually a very common condition in real life. One can be born with it, or one iris may change color as a result of trauma to the eye. Though in the former case, it's more common for the "odd" iris to be only ''partially'' a different color.
* Heterochromia [[wikipedia:Odd-eyed cat|is not particularly rare in domestic cats]].
* Heterochromia of both the one blue eye/one brown eye type and of the single eye with two colors type is actually very common in dogs with the [[wikipedia:Merle (coat colour in dogs)|merle]] color gene. (The two-eyed variety is also reasonably common in non-merles which have the blue-eyed gene, most notably Siberian Huskies and Border Collies.) Most famously, Mike the Dog, a Scottish border collie who stared in the film ''[[Down And Out In Beverly Hills]]'', was well known for having one blue eye and one brown eye.
Line 372 ⟶ 370:
** Same for Turkish Van cats.
** "Odd-eyed" is the term used for this condition by many animal breeders.
** This is also called "Bi-eyed" for Siberian Huskies, which have been known to have [https://web.archive.org/web/20131227080919/http://siberianhuskypuppiesblog.com/files/Siberian_Husky_copper_bi_eye.jpg one blue eye and one brown eye].
▲* Mixed Martial Artist Jens "Lil' Evil" Pulver has one blue eye and one green eye.
* Artificial heterochromia can result from certain cancer treatments, though this effect is usually temporary.
** It can also result from an overly scarred cornea, causing the light to refract differently in the affected eye. If there is only one part of the eye that is scarred, that part is affected. If the whole cornea is scarred, the whole iris is a different color.
* Animals with chimerism often have [[wikipedia:File:ChimericMouseWithPups.jpg|differently colored eyes]].
* Twins tend to be born with heterochromia.
* An episode of "Medical incredible" had an episode that included this. While one could not tell by looking at the boy, if you looked in photographs, he had
▲* [[Shaun of the Dead|Simon]] [[Hot Fuzz|Pegg]] has sectoral heterchromia, with one blue eye and one blue-and-brown eye.
* Using colored contacts to fake this has popped up as a short lived fad every now and then since the creation of color contacts. One of the few times it maintained any relatively extended popularity was among [[K-Pop]] artists.

▲* [[David Bowie]] is often mistaken as having this. Actually, one eye is just permanently dilated, after he was punched in the face in a schoolyard fight.
▲* An episode of "Medical incredible" had an episode that included this. While one could not tell by looking at the boy, if you looked in photographs, he had [[Mismatched Eyes]]. His mother thought this was ''very'' strange because it kept showing up in every single photograph, and ''only'' in photographs. Everyone else thought it was just a trick of the light or a camera flaw, but she knew something was up, so she finally insisted that doctors check his eye in case there was something wrong. Turns out, [[Oh Crap|this was because of a rare eye cancer]]. You can rest easily - because they caught it early, they could cure it, and the boy is alive.
