Why are Lara's eyes blue in 12 Months?

[semisapient_pearwood]

I was just rereading White Night, and I recently reread Blood Rites. Lara's eyes were grey (dark grey normally, fading to silver when her Hunger was in control). Is there some missing explanation for why they are described as blue in 12 Months?

 I never really thought about what her eyes were normally, just that they became silver if she was hungry.  Maybe they became intensely blue after the Hunger gorged on magical life essence?

Yeah, I think the grey-to-silver tones are signs of her Hunger.
I think blue is the natural (purely-human) color of her eyes, when the Hunger is entirely quiescent.
