Actually some sources state that he was brown eyed; please see bellow links : http://www.maths.tcd.ie/pub/HistMath/People/Newton/RouseBall/RB_Newton.html http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu//full/1943JRASC..37....1C/0000002.000.html Moreover in the second link, page 15 says that "He had piercing brown eyes, as revealed by his portraits" His life portraits made by either Godfrey Kneller or James Thornhill seem to support this claim. The first portrait known of Newton, made by 1689 by Kneller seems to show brown eyes ; http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/39/GodfreyKneller-IsaacNewton-1689.jpg

But things seem a bite more ambiguous in a latter (1702)portrait by the same painter because eye colour seems to vary from grayish-blueish to brownish according to the resolution of the picture found in internet
