Eye colors equal to emotions?

I know that the writers more than likely didnt think of this for Psycho's character design, I just want to share this idea of mine, and get your guys' opinion on this.

What if the yellow swirls in his eyes change color depending on his emotion? I have seen this done in cartoons (when someone gets enraged past the point of no return, their scelera will sometimes turn red) so maybe this could work?

And if so, what colors would represent what emotions? Yellow for happiness and/or neutral (he does seem happy a whole lot)? Red for anger? Green for sickness/disgust? And of course the classic, pink for love?

Again, I'm pretty sure the writers didnt think of this, I'm just exploring a though. I personally like this idea, but what about you?

That's not A bad idea would it just be the spirals in his eyes that change color or would the light yellow color of his eyes change to A lighter version of whatever color his spirals are at the time?

Light yellow color in his eyes? You mean his sclera? Cause I personally thought that the sclera would stay white and his irises blue, but the yellow spirals would change color depending on his emotion.

I have seen in fanart him having two different shades of yellow spirals, I personally just go with one color spirals and his sclera showing in between, so I just imagined the one color changing But that's just me, you do you of course!

But back to your question, if he does have two shades of yellow for spirals, than yeah, I can imagine it changing to a lighter shade of the color!

Since we are on the subject, what about his pupils? Maybe they could change shape to match the his feelings about the person/situation rather than his emotion in general?

For example, his pupils change into skulls when he wants to kill the person hes looking at, but he could feel that way and be either mad or happy while feeling the bloodlust?

Like at the end of the movie we can tell hes very excited to kill roger, if this eye thing was a thing for him, his pupils would be skulls, but the spirals would still be yellow to show his excitement, but if he was mad, than the spirals would be red but the skulls would still be there. You know what I mean right?

But that's how I personally imagine that, maybe the pupils and the spirals changing would be a bit much? What do you think?

[weaseldude]

I like the idea of that personally


Also I don't know why for some reason I was remembering psycho with yellow eyes maybe I was confusing him with Freaky Fred from The Courage the cowardly dog show lol

Really? Thanks!

Ahh, ok. I was wondering.

But all of that aside, can you imagine how scary it could be if Psycho's eyes worked like this? Especially if he was looking at YOU?

I'd definitely do my hardest to not get on his bad side and ensure his eyes stay as close to yellow as possible lol
