It's a mix of blue and brown, it can vary, it can be a nearly completely blue eye w/ a hint of brown, or it can be a nearly completely brown eye w/ just a hint of brown. Typically the blue will be on the inside and brown on the outside. Hopefully you can see in this pic, this is my doe LoneStar,

Genetically marbled eyes are like blue eyes.
 
Thanks so much. Now I see :-) wonder, is it much like children who are born this way and the brown usually takes over?
 
I don't know, it's generally hard to tell at first if they are blue or marbled at first, but by a few weeks it's obvious. The brown shouldn't take over, her eyes should stay this way! I did have one fainter buck whose eyes seemed to get more blue as he aged.
