@Riot Art, any stance on Jhin's eye color?

Yay! Jhin's colored lore is finally out, and people keep asking about Jhin's eyes color, so I thought I'd bring that conversation to its own page.

So in game, his eyes are blue. https://56.media.tumblr.com/5a7d88d0b4eedd061f260cb254f11d08/tumblr_o0y5uoqlg61siyqo6o2_500.jpg

But in the splash, they're kind of the color of the outside of a dragon fruit. http://lkimg.zamimg.com/assets/000/001/969.png

And in the teaser, they're a sort of dark amber color! http://wallpaperplay.com/wallpaper-downloads/WallpaperPlay_jhin-wallpaper-lol-2-30830-1920x1080.jpg

So? Would anyone from the Rito Clan be able to bring their input to this confusion? Thanks in advance! :D

(And I'd prefer no salt, if people can help themselves. Yes, questions repeat sometimes, and they may not even be questions you particularly care about. Just go on your merry way.)

My guess is his eyes are intended to be an amber/brownish color, but no one really ever noticed they were blue in-game. Biggest reason would likely be you'd have to zoom the camera all the way in just to catch a glimpse of his eye.

That said, Riot does tend to adjust colors on skins and champions when appropriate. They might sneak in a color swap for his eye at some point. Probably wouldn't be a high priority, though.

The eyes' are probably blue with the model so it can pop out compared to the black.

A brown eye would probably make it more difficult to see and blend in more with the darker colors.

Assuming it's not just a thing done so you can see it in game I would think it's tied to his mask. I mean the mask changes his voice so I can't imagine eye color would be that hard for somebody with as much magical prowess as Jhin.

Thinking about it,I could see Jhin actually using colored contacts. I mean his color text makes it clear that he is a master of disguise.
