Gaura-Nitai's eye colors

Hari bol! Does anyone know the colors of Lord Caitanya's and Lord Nityananda's eyes? Nitai-Gaurachandra have just come to us, and we're getting ready to paint Them. Thank-you in advance!

      Really? I have never read anything about this... do you have a quote from sastra? Just curious. Many devotees ask me what color the deities eyes should be as I paint the temple deities, as well as personal deities. I would love to have more information about this, so I wouldn't be so ignorant...

      I think Krsna's eyes are black, with the white portion tinged with red. Radharani's are gray I think... but I could be wrong. If anyone has info about this please post!

      Hare Krsna!

    I painted Them brown. See the Big Deities in my album. I too am curious for a sastric quote regarding the color of Their eyes.

      H H Gopal Krishna Maharaj's gorgeous neem gaur nitai.. his Gaur has blue eyes and nitai has brown eyes.. so my best friend (maharaj's disciple) who does a lot of deity painting for many many home deities always paints gaur nitai with that scheme..
