I do love blue eyes, but they are prettiest when they are surrounded by a dark marking.
I had a blue eyed bay blanket appaloosa for a while, and he sired a colt who had one blue eye, then when I sold him to a friend, he sired two foals for her w/blue eyes. One was a black filly w/the most startling bright blue eyes, and a bay colt w/the same stunning, deep blue eyes. They were pretty babies, and I often wonder where they ended up. Both had no markings other than the blue eyes.
I like blue eyes on people, too...my little sons have all three had the prettiest eyes, each a different shade.
