Yes, Books of Doom is definitely my favourite look for Doom, because I feel like the artist put some thought into coming up with a look that suits his ethnic background, plus he actually looks like a realistic teenage boy in the college scenes, where most of the other versions of the origin story make him look about thirty.

It's quite hard to know anyone's "proper" eye colour in comics because the colourists seem to get it wrong pretty often, but it tends to stand out to me with Doom because it's the only part of his face you ever see. He occasionally gets given green eyes, I suppose because it matches his colour scheme, but they're definitely supposed to be brown. (And blue just seems to be the default colour that everyone ends up with whenever the colourist's not sure.)
