I like it.

I do have some critique if you don't mind... i mean this only constructively and these are only suggestions so you don't have to listen to me k? hehe.

Anyhow, skin tone being navy, is sort of going to go against accepted standard for "most" here for drow. I recommend black skin which is typical for drow. Also the amber eyes does fit, but glowing red in the dark, shouldn't be the case if they're amber. Drow eyes don't glow, or it would give away their stealth and they'd be in bad shape as a race.
Drow eyes glow in the dark its how they see in the infrared spectrum, and the glowing doesn't take away from their stealth because the other drow are seeing in the infrared spectrum as well as all the other native creatures of the underdark.

So, is it accurate to say they don't perceive color all that well? The brilliant range of color we see under daylight is a big contrast to the limited palette we see under a full moon, be it ever so bright. Under a tiny bit of faerie fire/St Elmo's fire/marsh gas, I'd imagine most colors drop out.
whis actually does alot to also explain the drow's apparent obsession with the various shades of violet., probably one of the few colors still visible down there...

@ Reivan - yeah... yellow would become light gray and reds would look maroon at best.
Also they would be more into texture and pattern.


@Chaos - a glowing pair of eyes in the depths of the caverns would give away the presence of something there. Is what Draevir meant. Bad for hunting. Nothing wrong with them being reflective, though, if a light were shone into the cavern.

well everything native to the underdark would either not have eyes or see in infraspectrum so I don't thing glowing would even matter.
