Avatar Theory: Eye Color and Bending

I have blue eyes because I'm a _____ bender

Is this a theory or stating the obvious? I don't know but this is the theory until proven otherwise:

Benders bend elements corresponding to their eye color.  Avatars have eye colors corresponding to their innate element.  


This is as follows:

Firebenders - Orange/Golden/Brown
Waterbenders - Blue/Pale
Airbenders - Gray/Blackish
Earthbenders - Green

In the first two episodes of The Legend of Korra, we find out that benders don't have to give birth to benders (Tenzin's family) nor do benders have to give birth to benders of the same element (Bolin and Mako).

But what about Toph... she's blind/has gray eyes.  This is another classification of bender:

Metalbenders - Gray

Hmm... can anyone confirm this?

+ this is disproved because of Tenzin's eyes? (blue)

  2. ya but tenzin isn't fully an airbender
    he has mix heritage
    which is why his eye color is blue (mom being a waterbender), if he was just an air bender
    it would probably be true.

    it might have been true back then in Aangs time
    but now with people have mix heritages
    (aang and katara) people now have different colored eyes but it still follows this in a way, I agree with this theory

  3. toph just has grayed-out eyes because she's blind. you can tell by the greenish tint that she had or would have had green eyes.
