(Hey, fanficrants! I was beginning to worry about you, there. You haven't made it past clairvoyantwank in almost a week! It's good to see you're still going strong.)

Zuko's eye color.

Over on fanficrants, shes_unreal has very firm opinions on this matter of earth-shattering importance. Gold? Yes. Amber? ... acceptable. Yellow? NO WAY IN HELL! ARE YOU BLIND? DIDN'T YOU PLAY WITH CRAYONS AS A KID?

Hop on over and learn something about gemology.

Because "amber" is TOTALLY not a shade of "yellow".

No, wait, it is.

Worst part is that the one picture of Zuko she posted is the ONE where his eyes look MORE YELLOW THAN IN ANY OTHER PICTURE OF HIM. EVER. Bad choice, much?

Yeah... As soon as I read that one, I knew it wouldn't end well.

I can kind of understand her POV (to me, yellow + eyes = evil and/or illness), but DAMN did she get defensive.

Oh, and shes_unreal, if you're reading this; this here?

By the way, this is my rant. Other people's opinions and whether or not that descriptor bothers them are irrelevant. And they aren't going to change my mind on this particular matter.

Not helping your case...

Isn't amber sort of an orangy-red and not very much like gold at all. Which, incidentally, is way closer to yellow than amber.

I had to exercise great self-control to prevent myself from informing Miss Know-It-All that amber is a resin, not a mineral.

But anyway, WTF? I see yellow subbed for gold all the time. Of all the things to get irritated about in fics...

OK, I better go find a towel.

The hell? Amber. Honey. Gold. If you're talking eye colors, they're all shades of Yellow. It's really not such an OMGHORRIBLE thing to just say Yellow, unless you don't think it's a speshul enough word to be used. Geez.

Huh, that is funny. Whenever people in anime/cartoons/whathaveyou have "gold" eyes, it always just looks like a flat, tinny yellow to me due to cel shading. It's not multi-faceted or deep, it's on flat coloured, probably filled in with a paint bucket in an art program. Not worth getting angry over.

(Anonymous)

I know the most common form of colorblindness is red/green*, but couldn't some people perceive the color yellow diffently that others? People with red/green color blindness do have better perceptions of yellows and browns so I'm sure what I see as "yellow" someone with better yellow/brown reception might see it as "amber" or "golden sepia" or some other fancy non-Crayola color.

I'm thinking of how in the UK they refer to the "slow down" traffic lights as being "amber," while in the US they're "yellow." And unless I'm mistaken, they're the same colour.

And am I the only one who can't tell what colour Tomo's eyes are from those pics? They look slightly blue in one pic and I can barely see them in the other.
