Here's something I found about elephant characteristic when I did a search about elephants
Elephant Body characteristics
Skin diseases often occur, from which they try to protect themselves by taking mud baths, showering one another with water from the trunk, and rolling in dust. The skin can therefore appear brown or reddish, but the natural color is light gray... There are also rare white elephants, who often have blue eyes. Otherwise elephants have brown eyes, surrounded by long lashes.
That explains maybe why some elephants look brown or reddish instead of the gray we normally see.
Whatever color eyes you decide, I'm sure will look great. You do such beautiful work.

The elephant ended up with a light brown eye. I decided I'd already used blue for the water he is spraying. Dooley
