yEAH! I don't need a full physical description at a character's introduction, just their most striking feature or features, depending on who's eyes we're seeing through. BUT, if it's a scene between two characters who have known each other and are in love/falling in love, then even if there's nothing NEW about the color of a character's eyes, it feels appropriate to bring it up.
But, to address the secret itself, man yeah. It drove me crazy recently in a fic where a character's eyes were CONSISTENLY described as icy blue-- like, it came up way too often-- and the actor's eyes are a very gold-leaning hazel. I'd have accepted amber, even brown just because the lighting on the show tends to be so dark, but they're kind of the opposite of blue?? It was so weird to me that the writer just decided to change that-- I guess for the contrast?
