The dark eye stripe does not change, but the body color and dark markings can quickly change from dark to light, and the body color itself can also change, typically from brown to green or vice versa or a combination of both, in response to environmental conditions.
A study of Hyla (Pseuacris) regilla in Washington concluded that "H. regilla has control over and can change its hue, chroma, and lightness during time periods on the order of minutes." ..."...we support the idea that physiological color change has evolved as a mechanism to allow rapid background matching as a tree frog moves from one location to another."

This little tree frog (body about an inch long) was, for whatever reason, nestled about four feet off the ground, in the frame of our storm door. Sometimes I wonder how many little things like this I've missed over the years, by simply being to much in a rush. The little frog posed for just a moment before heading back in to the "wild".
Photographed along the Seven Bridges Trail in the Van Loon State Wildlife Area in northwestern La Crosse County, Wisconsin.
There were Tree Frogs calling everywhere at the little pond off Clegg meadow. Found this one in the grass......put him on the branch for a picture.
This little guy is about 7/8th in. long. They are common in my yard near outdoor lights (bug central). We also have the standard green treefrogs in abundance. The swamp behind my house has several other species, including pig frogs and bullfrogs. It's quite a harmonious chorus during the warm months.
This was one of the two gray tree frogs I found in one day back in May.
I’m finally on Facebook so you can follow me there now too if you would like.

A Treefrog hangs out in the butterfly nesting box located near the entrance to Green Cay Nature Center & Wetlands. This one looks like he could be a Cuban Treefrog which is an invasive species.
The shot was taken with a Fujifilm X-T2 using an XF 100-400mm OIS f/4.5~5.6 lens @400mm, f/5.6 1/30, and ISO 400. DSCF6559
Red eye treefrogs from the Jacksonville zoo in Florida. I have seen these in the wild in Costa Rica but was not in to photography then unfortunately. Man I gotta get back to central America and shoot!

This was after I managed to get it off of my shirt and moments before it jumped onto my flash.

From last weekend, camped at Bear Island which is beautiful, so we could be closer to a cypress strand to canoe in the morning. That didn't yield any keepers but this is from the night before. These guys were jumping all over in the muhly grass.
