Originally, Vader's eyes were red, that's obvious from the original prop and watching the unaltered ANH. The Vader suit changes from movie to movie, it's different in every single one. You can explain that as Vader getting his suit adjusted, or you can ignore it and pretend it's always supposed to be identical.

adywan made a creative decision. I personally prefer the red eyes, as it looks scary and it makes them more visible against the black mask in a dark scene. I don't see the need to modify the Vader suit to be more like any of the other movies. It only matters that it looks consistent from shot to shot in the same movie. But, I'm not the one making it... I took the "red computer readouts" in the Episode 3 suit as a nod to the fact that the eyes were red in the original film.

Most of the decisions he's made I agree with or at least consider them better than what Lucas decided. This isn't the original movie, it's a "Special Edition" so I'm not worried about losing the real movie just because this comes out.

I do long for the day when somebody releases an honest to goodness "restoration" of the original theatrical trilogy!
