It might be a mistake to use unique colors for the eyes--or, really, for any part of the painting for that matter.
Using the surrounding palette on the eyes might make the painting feel more confusing. That might be a good thing. There might still be room for a unique tone in the eyes, but I will have to experiment.
The same thought process had me remove the dark blue / black and replace it with cobalt green. It was more confusing, but I just couldn't give it enough teeth without that dark blue tone. It never felt very strong, and I suppose that doesn't mean it wasn't working. It wasn't working for me. Maybe everyone else would have loved it. I will never know.
