Yes. This color is the exact color of SSJ eyes. I don't see any green in it though, just light-blue.

Huh?
True, I made little sense with that statement. :lol: Sorry. What I actually meant was that in the shot above Trunks was still training and he wasn't completely transformed, so that's why his eyes basically remained the same as usual.
No I guess I wasn't clear enough. ^_^;
What makes you think he's "not completely transformed", there?

They always looked more green than blue to me.

Yeah, always looked more green than blue to me, too. Maybe more like this color than the former one.

hleV: It may look pure blue to you, but it's not.

On a somewhat related, though not exactly, note.... What color is Bulma's hair in the anime? I've always thought it looked green, but I'm always reading people calling her a 'bluette' in fanfiction and such. Of course, I'm somewhat color blind to blue, so it's entirely possible it's just a shade I can't see. >.>

I would have called SSJ eyes turquoise, but now that you mention it, teal does look much closer.

I've certainly never thought they look blue. Definitely somewhere between blue and green, and far enough from blue that I'd simply call them green if I wasn't using fancy in-between-color names.

Yeah. I said half and half before but it's more like 70/30 green/blue. Definitely closer to the green side, but there's also definitely some blue in them.

Yeah, I've always used "teal" to describe the color. When I do any drawings (and have limited access to colors), coloring with 100% blue always looks a lot weirder than 100% green.

That really depends from episodes/movies. For example Vegeta's eyes in DBZ movie 13 are blue, freaking light blue. In DBKai Goku's eyes are definitely green and only green, there isn't any blue in them. Other times, like when Goku is fighting #19 they are more aqua.

Any official word on the color? From the Daizenshuu or something?

I would like to add that factors such as "remastering" and also the contrast on your TV may alter the color quite a bit:

I borrowed this from SSJ Rambo, I hope that is OK.

I believe the seventh Daizenshû does indeed specify a color in the "Super Saiyan" entry... 'Can't check it right now though, sorry.

Yeah, the technique dictionary refers to Super Saiyan pupils as "emerald green" (エメラルドグリーン).
Kanzenshuu: Is that place still around?

Which is a bit confusing, since it has many different kinds of lightness:

These are three different variations I've found:

But then I guess that the anime and movies have used different lightness too.
