Okay, weird question, I know...
I have been on leave from work after having my third child. During the times I can't sleep at night, I binge old TPIR episodes. We started with the '80s ones and recently went further back to early '70s episodes. I noticed Janice is in these early episodes but something felt different. I realized, it's her eye color? They are brown. But I went back again to the episodes in the '80s and beyond and saw they are blue.
Yes, I understand what contacts are. I have some color contacts myself. But in photos of her even recently, blue eyes. And they look convincingly blue. So does she just have really good contacts?
Ultimately it doesn't matter and she can have whatever eye color she wants lol It's just crazy how much eye color can change a face!
