Honestly I’ve met someone whose eyes change color (brown to green, over the course of a minute or so). There are scientific explanations – some green eyes people have chemical color changes (but they’re supposed to be much slower), and there are also vague explanations as to why iris color can be counterintuitively changed by lighting and clothes. But to my mind you have to have kind of a physics/chemistry oriented world view to even think it demands an explanation.
Or, I guess you could just be very sure nobody’s eye color has changed who you’ve ever known.
In modern times there is the infamous case of Latisse, a cosmetic pharmaceutical intended to permanently thicken eyelashes, but with the unfortunate side-effect of sometimes permanently changing eye color from blue to brown. There were lawsuits about that. (The whole thing gives me the heebie-jeebies, honestly.)
If your eyes have different colors in them, like hazel eyes or people with central heterochromia, how much the pupil is dilated can change the overall perceived dominant color. I think Coal’s situation is more magical, though.
“umm… I realize you think all pagan religions are bunk but I really HAVE been to Valhalla and saw Odin and Thor and all the rest and I’m really on a secret mission to find lost pieces of their magic weapons and my ‘Uncle’ is not my real uncle but actually Loki and….”
Hedda:
Coal (thinks to himself “whew! she thinks I’m joking!”)
Hedda: “no REALLY, why do they change?”
Coal: “dunnow… ask Uncle Loki”…
Alright Coal, you’ve got a choice here. You can either come clean or go “What Would Loki Do?”. Choose wisely.

This may be the smuggest of all of the smug looks Loki has had on his face since the comic started.
Loki that thing is absolutely finely tuned. Go on, play the macarena, you know it gets everyone dancin’!
Blame it on the boogie.
