Through customer requests and study of live deer Van Dyke's offers color variations for several of the Whitetail glass eye series. Whitetail deer, just like humans, have eye coloration that can vary because of age, location, habitat and genetics. Van Dyke's offers in many cases, three color versions of eyes that can be used for Whitetail. These versions include "light" featuring a caramel brown colored iris, "medium" or "deer" with a medium brown coloration, "dark" which is dark brown and a deer/antelope version which is a very dark brown with a slight hint of red. In general, the lighter eye, the easier it is to see the pupil. In the light version the pupil shows very well. As the eye gets darker, the pupil is blended into the overall color until finally in the deer/antelope version, it is hard to identify the veins and the pupil.
