Half-Orc eye colors?


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


There is no information regarding this, so I'm curious if anyone has input. Would human/other side typically factor or would it most likely be orcish colors? What ARE orchish colors?


probably duller human colors most likely in the darker colors like brown black green.

Or purple and pink, if they are half-orc half-gnome.

I just buzzed through the Core rulebook, Advanced Race Guide and Bastards of Golarion and found nothing about half-orc eye colors. (I spent all of five minutes on this, so don't quote me on this!)

Orcs of Golarion describes full-blooded orcs eyes as 'small and reddish,' but that's pretty much all I found.


So I looked through a bunch of different images of Half-Orcs, and...many of them do not show the eyes clearly. The best I could find was this and this.

Based on these samples, I would probably guess that the typical eye colors are probably browns, greys, and/or yellows irides, with duller sclerae.

If you want to look at some more images, I used this gallery to find the above samples.

Hope this helps.


Inner Sea Races mentions yellow eyes as a 'tell-tale' sign for those rare half-orcs that look almost completely human, but doesn't otherwise list a full spectrum.

Y'know the thing about an orc, he's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'... until he bites ya. And those black eyes roll over white.

Lifeless black eyes? Nah, you're thinking of elves. :)

The way I see it, if your the GM you can just decide on what color you want them to be.


Personally I just look up eye colors for the ethnicity of the half-orc's human half and select from that list.
