→Eye color

For your information, all elites have a distinct eye color. The only reason why and elites eye color apears to be brown or black is because of how they are wearing eye pieces or eye patches used for targeting and zooming. Since they wear an eye patch, unless you could remove them, all sangheili eyes will apear to be black or dark brown. To prove this, on the very first cutscene in halo 2 before the level The armory, in the council meeting to determine the fate of the future arbiter, look at the arbiters eyes and you will notice they are black. That helps prove that elites do wear eyes pieces as when arbiter recieves his ceremonial armor he is no longer wearing his eye pieces therefor, his eyes are an amber and orange. -- [[User:Halo3]] 01:05, 25 December 2006 | For your information, all elites have a distinct eye color.

I noticed a bit ago that someone put in the article that Rtas has one orange eye and one green eye, which is incorrect (the green eyes Rtas had in H2 were due to eye coverings). However, could that editor be not far from the truth? I noticed today on my new Rtas action figure had one orange eye and one yellow eye. The safe assumption is this is a production mistake, however to be safe I started making inquiries with other people that has a Rtas figure online. So far only one has responded, but she replied that her's has two eye colors as well.<br> | |||
If this is wide spread and not a production mistake, this could mean a few things:<br> | |||
- This could simply mean a case of ''artistic license'' by the toy company<br> | |||
- Rtas' yellow eye (which is on the left side) could be a result of damage from when he lost his left mandibles (if you look in the HGN, Rtas does lose a sizeable chunk of his helmet and you can no longer see his on that side).<br> | |||
- Rtas has [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia Heterochromia].<br> | |||
Granted, this is speculation and I am still looking into this. Rtas in H2 wears eye coverings, so we can't really see his true eye color there. In H3, we only really get a close up of the right side of his face and it is largely in shadow. If he truly does have ''heterochromia'', whether by genetics or battle scarring, right now we only have this figure as proof and I doubt an action figure would be considered very high on the list of canon sources.
