What colour is / are its eyes?
Should I use 'is' or 'are'?
Thanks.
What colour are its/his/her eyes? When asking the question it is usually presumed that both eyes (plural) are the same colour (singular). Sometimes people or animals have different coloured eyes, and in such a case the answer might be something like "one is brown, and one is blue".
