For some reason, pupil darkness is tied to eyecolor! The lighter the eye colour, the greyer the pupil with a slight tint depending on eyecolor. While this example may look cool as heck, I would say this is certainly not a good thing. The greyness of the eye whites, the greyness of the pupils, and the strong shadow cast by the upper eyelid combine to make eyes look very dull and lifeless. I hope that the greyness of eye whites can be cleared up and that pupils can be made consistently black to fix that.
This pupil color...situation existed before the graphics update. Some races were affected more than others. (Seems like the update made it more obvious, especially on moon miqo'te, with their large pupils.) In my opinion, very light eye colors have always looked strange and unearthly because of it. Though, some people do like it.
