Yes, Cloud has blue eyes.
Cloud's Eye Color: A Deeper Look
While the color of Cloud's eyes is predominantly blue, the presence of Mako in his system influences their appearance. Multiple sources confirm his natural eye color is blue. However, the Mako infusion, a result of the Nibelheim Incident, gives his eyes a blue-green or hazel tint. This is often described as a "Mako glow" or "SOLDIER eyes," which are frequently misinterpreted.
- Natural Eye Color: Blue.
- Mako Influence: Adds a green or hazel tint, making them appear blue-green.
- Key Event: The Nibelheim Incident is responsible for the Mako infusion.
Several sources describe the visual effect of the Mako:
- Prominent Green Tint: Some portrayals emphasize the green glow of the Mako, causing his eyes to appear predominantly blue-green.
- Predominantly Blue: Despite the green tint, the blue remains the dominant color.
- Inconsistency in Depictions: Different versions of the game and media may show slight variations in the exact shade of his eyes.
The consistent element across all interpretations remains: Cloud's eyes are fundamentally blue, with the Mako influence creating a variation in shade.
