RE: [pyrnet] eye color

[Sherri Artz <SArtz@wiche.edu>]

Translation really seems to a big difference, I have realized from this
brief discussion that the description of my pyr's eyes is a bit different
form the description I gave early of dark piercing, they are a "rich" brown
with a "sincere" expression.  I am sure I could come up with a hundred more
adjective to describe them.  
 
Now you have me wanting to go back and study the male pyr with the light
eyes again.  Here is a link to a photo of him assuming he hasn't been
adopted, http://www.boulderhumane.org//html/animals/pages/A071196.html
<http://www.boulderhumane.org//html/animals/pages/A071196.html> .  You can
see how light they are but not so much the color.
 
Thanks,
Sherri

Yes, I agree.  The black is almost "wall-eyed", flat color with no depth.   
While the French use amber brown as a translated description, it is not 
yellow at all.  It is the dark rich brown with the amber highlights.  (do
you 
ever think we break this down too much, but as Linda said these verbal 
descriptions mean different things to different folks and this results in us

being more specific not to either get too dark or certainly too light)
