In the story I am preparing there's going to be this cult, and I don't know how people would refer to them colloquially.

Every member has green and red heterochromatic eyes that can't be hidden, that's their key physical characteristic.

They aren't feared or hated, but they aren't liked.

I was thinking two-eyes or glowies, but I wanted something more original.

Chrismas-themed names don't work because the setting doesn't have Chrismas.

EDIT: I have the official name of the cult, I want some ideas for how people would refer to them colloquially. In an informal setting.
What are the other characteristics besides their eyes? Is their a diety they worship? Physical trait? Where are they from? Who is the founder? Perhaps we can get a name from those...

They are a kind of obscure cult that's been around for a while but nobody ordinary would bother or come into contact with them. They are mostly known for their heterochromatic glowing eyes and being a cult.

So they have no connection whatsoever with a fictional diety/god or a person?

If it's only heterochromic eyes and nothing else just call them chromies or chromia cult
@TrashyHuman or Kromeyra, Chromeyra, Koromerya
I tend to add consonants to an already existing word so I could get a unique name like Meyrgara Region. In the Batak Karo language, megara means red. Instead of 'megara' I added 'yr'. Meyrgara Region has red soil/sand. I Googled search Kromeyra and found only 1 entry. I tend to use rare words. I have a Google Sheet of colors in different languages. When I'm stuck, I browse the file for name inspiration.

This cult already has an official name, I was asking for colloquial ones. Thank you anyway.
I am sorry to diss my species but we aren't smart enough to refer to that weird mysterious cult that keeps showing up everywhere and has people with weird eyes with a word derived from an obscure language in a day-to-day situation
