* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' breaks from its predecessor's elemental eye color coding with the residents of Republic City, a mecca of multiculturalism and mixed marriages. The firebender on the pro-bending team the Rabbiroos has green eyes, for instance; and a [[ExtraOreDinary metalbending]] cop from the first episode has amber eyes.
** The three main characters still play this trope straight, though.

* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', people from the elemental nations (and thus what element they can bend), for the most part, have their eye colors ColorCodedForYourConvenience. Blue for the Water Tribe, green or brown for the Earth Kingdom (except Toph, who has ProphetEyes), gold or amber for the Fire Nation (at least, their royal family: Ty Lee has grey eyes, but isn't a bender), and grey for the Air Nomads.

* Played mostly straight initially in ''{{BIONICLE}}'', with red eyes for Fire, blue for Ice, and yellow for Light. Later on (probably due to cost), fewer eye colors were used on sets.

* ''MagicKnightRayearth'' colors our heroines eyes ([[YouGottaHaveBlueHair and hair]]) after their elements. Hikaru's are red, Umi's are blue, and Fuu's are green. Fuu's hair may be yellow, but yellow has represented wind in other media so no complaints there.

** Evangeline uses [[AnIcePerson ice magic]], and has very cold blue eyes; however, the {{OVA}}s change it to sky blue color.
** Chao uses [[PlayingWithFire fire magic]], and has red eyes in the OVA and reddish brown in the manga.
** [[FieryRedhead Anya]] is a [[PlayingWithFire fire user]], and gets [[CurtainsMatchTheWindow red eyes]] in the manga (however, she is a GreenEyedRedhead in the {{OVA}}s).

* ''SaintSeiya'' gives Hyoga, AnIcePerson blue eyes. Strangely averted in the Manga with Aquarius Camus who despite being AnIcePerson as well, had red eyes.
* In ''{{Bleach}}'', Hitsugaya has blue eyes of the "piercing, icy" variety which fit well with his ice powers.
* Reinforce Zwei of ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' has the [[MonochromaticEyes bluest eyes of the series]], emphasizing the childlike innocence of the character, as well as her magical nature (The first [[ArtificialHuman Unison]] [[PureMagicBeing Device]] created since the days of Ancient Belka) and her [[AnIcePerson affinity to ice]].

* Stella, Flora, and Layla/Aisha from WinxClub have eye colors pertaining to their elements. Sun, Plants (or Earth, to some extent), and Water/Fluids, respectively.

Eye color means many different things in fiction. Sometimes they mean someone is [[PurpleEyes special]], or [[EyesOfGold has powers]], or perhaps just {{innocent| blue eyes}}. One of the common uses of eye color is to indicate a person's elemental affinity.
