So! There seems to be a lot of wondering going on about EYE COLORS lately, so let’s put a few bits of information on the table.
The corrupted pacifist ending bedroom scene has been variously taken to mean that Chara’s eyes, or more recently Frisk’s eyes, are canonically red.
In Frisk’s sprites, the eyes are black (#000000). In Chara’s end-of-NM sprite, the eyes are slightly lighter, being the same shade of dark brown (#3d120e) as Frisk’s hair and outline. From this, you might decide that Frisk’s eyes are canonically black, and Chara’s dark brown. However, the eyes/pupils of nearly every monster character are depicted as #000000 on overworld sprites for the sake of visual clarity, including…
…Toriel, whose eyes we know to actually be very dark red (#400000) from her battle interface sprites. So we cannot say for certain that Frisk’s or Chara’s eyes are black/brown, just because of their sprites. They could easily be red like Toriel’s are.
On the flipside, we cannot say for certain that their eyes *are* red, either. The bedroom scene, from the corrupted pacifist ending, has been used to argue:
Chara’s canon eye color is red, because they are possessing Frisk in this scene.
Frisk’s canon eye color is red, because it is their body that is getting possessed.
But it should be noted that the red (#ec1c24) seen here is clearly not natural, in any case; F/C’s eyes are brightly glowing in a dark room, which is not a normal thing for human eyes to do. Ever. Also, Frisk’s face and clothes seems to have instantaneously shapeshifted into Chara’s in the corrupted endings, and that’s also not a natural phenomenon. (lol)
HELLO THERE it has… been A While…. sorry for the wait on this !
for your trouble, here’s 6.3k words of post-pacifist frisk+flowey (with a side of chara n’ asriel)

Everything about this is so stupid.
Frisk almost got up too early for you to catch them

and it was a goddamn chore to wheedle them into not leaving you behind for… wherever. Destination is something you couldn’t care less about, though Frisk did. Enough that once they admitted defeat to your wiles (“I’ll vore your stubborn butt and drag you back through that window, you know” ‘Do you even know what ‘V-O-R-E’ means’ “GOD who cares!!!!”), their tack retreated into something… familiar.
They didn’t fuss or offer some placid mote of back-sass when you insisted on your favorite flower pot for this trip into Hell Possibly, no ifs, ands or buts about it. They strapped on your preferred pack, the front-carrying one that makes it easier for you to see them talk, even though Frisk isn’t fond of it from a sensory standpoint and you both know it. You decided to call these accommodations “red flags one and two.”
The way you felt Frisk’s pulse pick up, more than was strictly necessary for climbing this mountain, just tweaked your hackles more. It’s not any better now that they’ve reached the summit.
honestly just really like undertale
