Purple eyes really aren’t too common, yet, but there are still some characters in the world of theater who have adopted the unnatural look of having purple eyes. One cool thing about turning your eyes purple with contacts is that you can do it for many reasons, from scary to cute.
They are more common in cartoons than in real life movies or TV shows, with Anime being the most popular type of media that uses characters with purple eyes by far.
This isn’t the case with a lot of colors, say red for example, as it pretty much signifies blood and fright from the get-go. Anyways, here is a list of some characters you may or may not recognize that took purple eyes to the next level.
Sleeping Beauty
One of the magical princesses of Disney, Sleeping Beauty was one of the first and original princesses that everyone fell in love with. While Walt Disney did not create the legend of Sleeping Beauty, they did bring it to children everyone who loved her style, beauty and grace.
It is not a widely known fact that her eyes were indeed purple in the classic fairy tale but you can find many pictures of her depicted this way.
Tamaki Kawazoe from Bamboo Blade
Tamakis is a character from the Japanese manage series of Bamboo Blade. It was first created in 2004 and hit North America in 2007 so it’s still fairly new. This show tells the stories of some high school kids, mostly girls, who are lead by a Kendo Instructor.
Tamaki is new to the high school and her nickname is “Tama-chan” which translates into “short”. She’s very good at Kendo but isn’t really passionate about it. She doesn’t join the club so she’s kind of an outsider.
Her bright purple eyes are a token signature of her character and she is the only one in the series with them. They do a lot of close-ups on her eyes to really bring it out and every time they do, they really stand out.
Samantha Manson from Danny Phantom
Samantha “Sam” Elizabeth Manson is a character from the Nick animated series Danny Phantom. She is the leading female character and love interest of Danny Phantom.
Samantha, or Sam as she prefers to be called is one of Danny Phantom’s best friends. She is usually decked out in all purple, and has the purple eyes to match her style!
Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor is often, but ultimately incorrectly, described as having violet/purple eyes. However it’s not true, they do have a slight violet tint in some pictures and films, but ultimately they are just really just bluish-gray. This doesn’t stop people from referring to her as having purple eyes because the legend has become a staple in her history.
