heterochromia. Having two different-colored eyes. Alexan- der the Great is only one of the famous people who have this trait, which can be genetic or the result of trauma.

Penelope’s eyes are “one the color of hot chocolate and one the color of a forget-me- not.” More common are medleys of colors: Oriana’s eyes were a medley of blue at night one eye was green, omnivorous greeneye filled with spices, seasoning what we thought were vices! |
