Apparently, in real life, brown eyes are blue underneath that brown color. There's apparently even a laser treatment that can make your body remove the melanin that makes your eyes brown, thus permanently giving you blue eyes.

So... really, Ilia's chameleon trait could be allowing her to change the proteins in her skin, hair, and eyes to make them appear different colors. But aren't blue eyes caused by a lack of melanin in the iris? How does one remove melanin from their body?
