Nick, I would use a lighter color thread to be safe even though you probably won't see it through that fur. I mounted one of these blond coons a while back and I used a hollow bubble eye as the eye on mine seemed normal in color. If you want something lighter just order the size you need and tell the supplier you want a lighter eye.As for what is "correct" I can't say. These coons can be brown,blond, to orange and maybe the eyes are a range of color as well but the only one I've had inhand looked to have black eyes. Enjoy- Aaron H.
I use fishing line on all my mounts.
