Ds1 has dark brown eyes and due to his skin tone people just assume he’s white British rather than having a Middle Eastern father. My other children have a darker skin tone so people believe them. Aibu to think most people with dark brown eyes are usually from minority ethics background.

My family have a couple of brown eyed redheads. Don't know how common or uncommon that may be.

Dark hair, dark brown eyes and very pale skin. I very rarely tan. I actually like being pale though, not so very long ago it was desirable!

Eye colour means nothing, my Spanish grandfather was fair with blue eyes, my 100% English grandfather had black hair and brown eyes...
