her eyes were green??


I'm sorry but Sean Young's eyes are brown.

Sean Young's eyes are brown, but Rachael's eyes are green.
...at least sort of...
It is actually a mistake in the original Blade Runner, since in her Voight Kampf test (which is also shown in BR2049) you can clearly see a green eye.

The funny thing is, that this scene is a double reference to the first movie. It doesn't only reference the mistake, but it also works great with the fact, that [spoiler]Wallace had the genetic code from the bones and hair to recreate Rachael, but wasn't aware that Tyrell hired a subcontractor for eyes. These probably couldn't be replicated from the same code.
Chew just made the best eyes![/spoiler]

I don't know who they used for the closeup footage on the original blade runner but their eyes were brown too, the film was over exposed and yellow tinted so it gives the illusion their eyes were green but they were brown.

Weird. I know that this green eye problem is still often regarded as an error in Blade Runner (original movie). It is also listed as mistake on that other movie site aswell. Yet I've just played around with some photos of brown eye close ups and compared them to the frame ... and you may be right.

So perhaps Deckard is just messing with Wallace. Since Wallace can't be certain about the eyes and Deckard is the only eye witness (pun intended), Deckard puts Wallaces self-belief in question. That would be a very bold tit-for-tat response to putting Deckards humanity/love in question.

it seems visual geniuses ridley scott and denis villeneuve don't know how the photography in their films work?

I would have thought if i was making an exact replica of a replicant i woukd have made sure i had the eye colour correct, especially if trying to fool somone/thing that had had a relationship with it.

Really Daft that was.

I got that he was just bluffing them about the eyes but basically telling them that she wasnt the right one. Its not her. Not because of the eyes but because its not her, they cant just replicate her she is one and her own. And in the process letting them think they goofed.

Or maybe it wasn't a bluff ... it was just Deckard's way of rejecting the imitation

As Deckard said "I know what's real." I thought Rachael in BR2049 looked amazing from a distance, then she got closer and it was phenomenal, but then when the zoomed in close, I thought her eyes "did not seem right." Too brown. I don't know if I'd say Rachael had green eyes per se, but more like hazel.
