These are also a specific type of Monochromatic Eyes sometimes related to Prophet Eyes, which can also be used to indicate a supernatural or evil character, as well as Mind-Control Eyes, which are dull and flat-colored. This is a subtrope of "Uh-Oh" Eyes, which, in turn, is a subtrope of Technicolor Eyes. It's easier to pick up on when the actor is in motion, and a lot more obvious in drawn art. This can be surprisingly hard to tell apart from normal eyes in photos, because if a person has normal-colored eyes that happen to be deep-set or narrow to the point of looking squinty, then there won't be that much light hitting their sclera from most angles. In many cases, heroic characters may also gain shadowed eyes in this way. This version can show up in characters who aren't the ultimate evil, merely sinister or mysterious. Typically, these characters don't actually have black eyes and it's a temporary thing. Alternately, a character's face can be shadowed in such a way that their eyes are completely hidden, or at most reflecting back a glint.
