What do you mean? They're obviously Toriyama's first few colorings of the Super Saiyan form, what the previous poster asked for.

The left is his colors for Movie 5 and the right is from the manga (left one came first, I believe).

Cool, thanks! It would have been very interesting if Toriyama had gone with the red instead, but I still like green better.

I guess we'll call it green teal.

I vote to call it "Super Cyan."

Amazing... a pun worthy of Toriyama himself my good sir/madam.
The best part is, "Cyan" is closer to how you actually pronounce "Saiyan" than the way the dub pronounces it like "Sei-yen"... lol

[Puto]

Don't explain the joke.

As far as I know, "Cyan" is pronounced exactly like Saiyan should be pronounced.

I agree that digireign should be crowned the Legendary Ultra Super Pun Maestro. Or maybe the lesser title of zinc saucier. It was truly over n*this section of the post was redacted by the People's Commissar of Internet Memes*.

Wow I can't believe I never noticed Akira Toriyama's original color art for super saiyan Son Goku featured red eyes. I have always seen that particular character study smaller so I never noticed the eye color. Quite creepy! It almost looks like Goku is going to change into a Ssj Oozaru or something . Still I have to say I am a fan of the final green or teal color choice.

Here's a detailed profile of the exact color: http://www.color-hex.com/color/19ac83

This page is for designers and web developers. It shows the following in the RGB chart:

Red: 7.6%
Green: 52.4%
Blue: 39.9%

Even if you see colors differently, the facts are right here. The eyes are predominantly green, with essentially 40% of blue.

That is still a large amount of blue though, so it's easy to see why there was confusion.

To make matters more confusing, I don't think that the colors they used throughout the series were consistent, especially during the filler episodes when they had less detailed animation. Seemed like the color of their eyes varied from episode to episode. Not sure if I'm 100% right about that, though.

Based on the picture provided in this thread and the data provided from that site, we can definitively state that super saiyan eyes are more green than blue.

Red: 7.6%
Green: 52.4%
Blue: 39.9%

That's pretty cool since Toriyama actually painted SSJ Goku's eyes red the first time he did it.

Used this in my DBF4 (check signature). Credits to you.

AT would be proud.

The "Super Cyan" thing reminds me of how the narrator in this DBZ toy commercial pronounced Super Saiyan

You mean the original, correct Japanese pronunciation? The reason everyone has loved the "Super Cyan" term for the past page or so... lol

I love you. I am so glad I joined this board just to see this. I always thought AT should have kept the Red, but this is too perfect. Super Cyan it is.
