Seriously, there is such an eye-color (in RL, not in Tolkien) called "changing grey-green-blue." (I know 'cause I have 'em.) Depending on the light and what color shirt I have on, they are steel-grey, or sea-green, or sky-blue.

Now, this explanes a lot! I've been wondering if I'm paranoiac since my eye color seems to be changing constantly.
I think that all this flashing and glowing is metaphorical. Now I can't help myself imaging the fellowship at Moria and their eyes shine like a car's head lights...no need for torches, eh? Yes, I exaggerated a bit, but I think that "a sparkle in the eye" describes a hidden sneer, for example, or "flashing eyes" can mean a stern expression.
