Skin color among the red fox Vulpes is close to the color of the local humans, ranging through fair to tan to light brown. Their hair color is commonly the red color of the fox's coat, but with the variety in wild foxes, there is likewise variety in the Vulpes tribe, including dilute and melanistic forms. Individuals with these color varieties have a hair color that matches the dominant coat color. Golden eye colors are the most common.
