To me what makes these type of eyes look different is what I will refer to as an "accented midrib". It is a prominent midrib with a different color along with the extension into the throat that gives it that distinct look.
My search using that term found 'Constant Change' (Ansari, 2016), 'Subtle Companion' (Ansari, 2022),'Tajalliyat' (Ansari, 2020),'Thank God' (Ansari, 2022).
These were the ones I thought that showed the type of eye we were looking for. They were all by the same hybridizer and that accents where the real problem is, not having a generally accepted term that hybridizers are aware of and will agree upon to use. She also had others listed using the term "accented midrib' but some of those did not seem to me to have the same look.
Edited to add:
I tried a search with both terms together: "multicolored eye, accented midrib" and got no results. So the search does not seem to find two different terms if not used together in the hybridizer's description. So by complicating the search description even a little can restrict you results.
