Blue eyes?

[Layla50]

Hi there, apologies if this has already been discussed here, but I happened across a thread on another forum where someone mentioned that Moriarty's eyes appear blue after his suicide. That rang bells for me, so I went back to check. In the flashback at the beginning of the Empty Hearse, his eyes do indeed appear to be a light grey, perhaps even blue. Is this just a trick of the light, or is there something to it?

 

 

Keeping in mind, I love him, and desperately want him back, so I am definitely biased.

Are you talking about right before they put the "Sherlock" mask on him?  If so, watch very closely just before that, and you'll see that they put blue contact lenses in his eyes.

 

But that scene was just Anderson's imagination anyhow, so it's not really evidence, one way or the other.

Yeah, Carol is right, in that scene we see how someone puts contact lenses in his eyes to make him look like Sherlock.
