Would a Live-Action Film titled "Girl with Green Eyes" (1964), but is a black-&-white film, be a legitimate addition here?
Why is this topic locked? I'm not complaining, just curious.

As well as people listing characters where the eyecolour was meaningless.

Does Lasciel of The Dresden Files qualify for this trope? She's a shapeshifter whose preferred form has "green-blue" eyes, which her daughter inherits. Given her deceptive nature, the symbolism seems appropriate.
Suggestion for addition.
Attack on Titan has two characters that turn out to have significance behind their green eyes. Eren Yeager has vibrant teal-green eyes, and is a spitfire as well as possessing unique powers of unknown origin. In contrast, Bertolt Hoover has a dull, muted shade of green. It hints at hidden aspects of his character, namely his untrustworthy nature as The Mole and powers as the Colossal Titan.

You ought to ask here
. This trope is going to be split in the future as "green eyes, period" is not a trope but I don't think it's a problem with adding examples like yours until then.
Can the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 be added, if only because the eyes are green to fit the characters' skin? (though in the new series, only Raph has them, fitting the "green eyed Hot-Blooded")

I thought they had plain white eyes in that one?

Loki in "Thor" has naturally green eyes (given to actor Tom Hiddleston via contacts and CGI), but he was mostly blue-eyed in "Avengers" to imply that he, like his victims, is being possessed by the Tessaract, albeit in a different way. During the moment when he and Thor are grappling on the roof of Stark Tower and Thor shouts to him, "Look at this! Do you think this madness will end in your rule?," Loki's eyes temporarily turn green again, showing his moment of doubt and the wavering control of the Tessaract. (This can be seen clearly in high definition on the Blu-Ray, and if it were any other director than Joss Whedon...)
The new Battlestar Galactica says only Starbuck and Dualla have green eyes... Both James Callis (Baltar) and Mary Mc Donnell (Roslin) have green eyes.
Does Iori/Cody of "Digimon Adventure 02" count for this page? If he did, it would be kind of surprising given he doesn't fit most of the traits on this page and it's never mentioned but his Green Eyes do kind of detract from the whole uproar about his supposedly stereotypical Asian appearance. My justification for my last statement is two part: first part is that in the Digimon franchise, the typical Japanese phenotype seems to be brunette (some with leanings towards Red-Headed Hero) with brown eyes and may or may not have tanned skin and the second part is that to my knowledge, Green Eyes aren't a standard part of real life Asian (not just Japanese) phenotypes. I mean no offense to anyone who might be reading this and will gladly accepted any corrections that are made.
So from what I'm reading, Green Eyes imply independence, spitfire personality, magic, and earth-based powers. They can also mean deceptiveness for some. I'm just wondering: I have a character who is a Villain Protagonist, and I'm pretty sure she fits the bill for Green Eyes in the untrustworthy sense (she's even an Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette!) Her personality is definitely in line with it, at least inasmuch as she's got a Hair-Trigger Temper, drips snark, and has a serious grudge against a certain someone. It should also be noted that her eyes aren't a natural shade of green, but more of a really creepy shade of yellowish-greeney chartreuse. Needless to say, she's bad news.
Just a personal anecdote, but as a US Marine, I found the percentage of green eyes to be higher than I would have expected, and definitely higher than the main page implies.
Are green eyes often matched with black hair in fiction?

Almost never - correction; outside of books, no. They're usually paired up with either red or blond hair.
The trope is being removed per this discussion
