Unsure about the colour; one is different from the other.

Just found this info:
Bowie was born with blueish eyes. In 1962, he got into a fight with his longtime school friend George Underwood (over George's girlfriend), and a punch from Underwood damaged Bowie's left eye. His pupil was paralyzed, becoming unable to dilate or contract according to the ambient light.
As a result, Bowie's left eye now appears to be a different colour to his right eye, appearing either brown or green depending on the ambient light.

Still think he's SUPER though! Wow!

False

His eyes are the same colour


they are both the same colour but due to an accident when young one pupil no longer dilates which makes the eye look a different colour ...what is seen is the iris. Incidently it was his mate who thumped him and damaged his eye but no hard feeling as he produced Bowies 1st album !
