Citation from the webpage: "Amber eyes usually occur when the eumelanin in the coat is diluted or modified by the recessive genes in the B or D series. In other words, all liver dogs (bb) have amber eyes, and so do blue and isabella dogs (dd). Occasionally dogs with black pigment also have amber eyes, but in general they're found just on livers and dilutes.
Amber eyes vary from light brown (overlapping with the lighter eyes sometimes found in black-pigmented dogs) to yellow, yellow-green or grey."

Well, although their information is not wrong (hopefully), it is quite incomplete, so it needs to be taken accordingly.

Otherwise thanks for the link, it is interesting read.
