Central heterochromia is also an eye condition where there are two colors in the same iris; but the arrangement is concentric, rather than sectoral.

Amelanistic mammals have white hair, pink skin, and eyes that have a pink, red, or violet appearance. Reddish eyes are due to the lack of pigment in the iris pigment epithelium.
