Margaret Schroeder
: Depending on your context, might also need to say "green, blue, gray or hazel eyes", or "eyes that are not brown". Depends.

LIGHT COLORED EYES
OJOS CLAROS MIGHT BE ALSO LIGHT GREEN, SO I THINK BLUE WON'T DO.

LIGHT COLORED EYES
This phrase is not only in general use in Colombia, but in every Spanish speaking country.
I am not sure I agree that this is a PRO level question.
Can mean even "yellow eyes" (ojos dorados) as well as light brown, green or blue in my experience.
