I may be wrong on this but I believe the French standard calls for Amber as 
the eye color - which from what I understand amber is a brown with slightly 
gold hues  - hence giving a lighter eye than what we are used to seeing here. 
   However, I have seen yellow eyes on some pyrs which I believe are not 
correct.

I also believe our standard calls for dark brown eyes.
