On a Red eyed cream the eyes are actually supposed to be a 'claret red', so if you think how dark a good claret is, that is quite a dark shade. I think his eyes do look a claret red in the photos (even discounting the one where the flash has caught them) and often its easier to see on photos. Our red eyed cream's eyes look black unless you look really carefully too.
I think he is a red eyed cream satin short haired too. He has a lovely rich colour. I'm really jealous of you, as he is absolutely delightful!
