SA- oh sure, it works much better with established relationships vs. first meetings, but even then I'd prefer to have authors be a little more creative and focus on more character-driven details or personality traits or something.

AYRT - I'm a visual person, so I like a mix of both, myself. As long as the descriptions aren't flowery. "His keen, dark eyes" - yes. "His sumptuous mahogany orbs" - no thank you.

I always make not of someone's eye color if I'm being introduced to them since I'll usually be, I don't know, staring into the eyeballs at least for a few seconds.

I get it's clumsy if the person is far away (everyone makes fun of the Twilight cafeteria scene for this). But some people (me) do make note of what color people's eyes are. Just like I sort of take in their whole appearance.

I think with characters who have known each other for a while you can do things like...note how the eyes change in different lighting or how if they get really close for an almost kiss they notice flecks in their eyes that they never saw before because they were always too far away to see them, or maybe part of the attraction to the other character is that they have really pretty eyes so they make note of it, or maybe they're wearing something or have makeup on that "brings out their eyes".

Eyes are an important part of the face for expressions so I don't really think it's weird to point them out or describe them. Especially if it's our first introduction to the character. I like being given details like that otherwise how I imagine the character looking is constantly changing and it's annoying for me to have my imagination constantly be handing it to me.
