    This is strange. In this video Paul McCartney has brown eyes,

    The Beatles - Paperback Writer

    (1:35 time mark)


    In this video he has hazel eyes.

    The Beatles - Hey Jude



    Am I imagining things? Does anybody not see the difference?

    It's not really strange, for various reasons. For starters, you aren't looking at Paul, but at a photographic image. The color in any kind of film, is determined by the chemicals impregnating it. Every film company has its own blend. So if those are not exactly the same films-- and your two videos are a couple of years apart, so this is not hard to believe-- the colors will not exactly match, and may be much different.

    On a more mundane level, though, the color of anything is drastically affected by the lighting conditions. Have you never noticed that grass on your lawn, in shadow, looks much different than the grass on either side, in the light? But wait until that shadow moves, and you will see it is exactly the same color as the rest of the grass.

    Thirdly, the surrounding colors, also have an effect. Put on a red or reddish purple shirt, akin to the jacket that Paul wears in "Hey Jude," and look in a mirror, at the color of your skin, on your neck. Then switch to a black shirt, the color of Paul's jacket in "Paperback Writer," and see if your skin doesn't look a lot different. Granted, this one change will not alter your eyes, as much as Paul's vary, in the videos, but that reflective nature of light, & so color, applies to everything in the scene.

    Nonetheless, in this case, I think shadow plays the biggest part, since when Paul pulls off his glasses, the lighting is from above & it puts his eyes in darkness, from his brow. In fact the whole scene is shot outside, so the lighting is natural, that is, is strongest, from above. Note the way shadow falls downward in earlier shots, including how where Ringo sits on the floor, leaning forward, he is in more shaded light, than the rest of the group. Conversely, the lighting is much more straight, head on, in Hey Jude, in a studio, so Paul's eyes are well lit, & not at all in shadow.



    P.S.-- So that's one less conspiracy, with which you need entangle your mind.

    You should have asked me this question 20 years ago.

    If smoking marijuana mostly red or if drinking.

    If I was eating psilocybin mushrooms mostly black because my pupil would overtake my Iris.

    I remember a particularly vivid experience where one was basically entirely black and the other one was almost entirely black except it was no longer quite round.
