After making the eye animate and adding the lashes, I tried to change up the colours a bit to make it more interesting. One idea is to have the simple colours black & white & purple across the range of idents and maybe for the title sequence as well. This way it would represent E4 through colour and fit in with current existing E4 idents and programs and the logo. I found the E4 logo and tested a few colours to try and get it right. Eventually I got it down to the colour hex-coded 6d368f which is pretty spot on.
To start with I tried changing the eyelash colour to purple like this.
I like the purple eyelashes as they are kind of subtle but I'm not sure how well it represents the film as the purple makes it look a bit more like the Joker or something. As another test I tried to change the colour of the pupil to the purple colour.
I think that the biggest problem with this video is that the pupil being purple makes the eye seem really alien and dehumanises the animation a bit more. If I were to use either of these examples I think it would be the purple eyelashes.
