DD's eyes completely different to mine and her dad's?

[Lifewithliv18]

Not sure if I'm posting in the right place, but just wanted to see if anyone else has experience of this. I have brown eyes and DD's dad has blue. DD was born with dark blue eyes that faded to a very light sky blue and they stayed this way for some time until I noticed a slight tinge of brown appearing around the iris but only in certain lights. She is now almost two and her eyes have completely changed from bright blue to a sort of grey Hazel colour. To give more specific detail, they have a dark blue ring around the outside, the a blue/greyish layer blending into a hazel/brown colour in the middle. I'm just curious if anyone else has had the same as its very strange that her eyes are so different to both of us. I wondered whether it could be a genetic mutation or something and wondered how common this is? We were given 50/50 change of her eyes being either blue or brown so are baffled that they are now greyish/Hazel! Hope someonecan shed some light!

DD1 has the same brown eyes as her dad, I have blue-grey eyes, but DD2 has the most amazing greeny orange coloured eyes - they're really striking. No idea where she gets it from and I don't overthink it too much as she's definitely mine and her father's!

Brown eye colour (pigmentation) is dominant to blue (no pigmentation), but the final result is controlled by more than one gene so its not as simple to predict as once thought.

Are you my daughter in law? DGS3 has Hazel eyes, his mum has gorgeous chocolate brown eyes and dad our family blue, but my dad has hazel eyes so the gene is in the family.

Oh and my blue eyes with golden specks have turned a bluish green in the last few years

It's a polygenic trait. There's a whole load of genes that control it in each person

It's normal - dad has brown eyes, mum bright blue and I have grey and sister bright green.

All of the genes will be in there somewhere

My dad has pale blue eyes
My mum has dark brown eyes
I have really bright green eyes!

I must’ve looked this up a dozen times over the years and still don’t understand how it works.

My mum has green eyes. Dad has blue eyes.

I have grey eyes. DSis has hazel eyes.

My entire family have blue eyes. (Parents, sister, my children) Mine are green and yellow.

They sound exactly like my dds, i have dark brown eyes and dh has blue grey , dds are grey blue with brown and a dark blue ring.
Interestingly i did a eye colour test on my dna (gedmatch,) and it came out like my dds are.
Im a mix of cypriot and welsh.

I once knew a girl with blue eyes and around 5 or 6 (long time ago, age may be wrong) one of her eyes got a sliver of brown - like a Trivial pursuit wedge thingy, but a lot thinner). It started growing gradually and the same happened to her other eye until both of her eyes were completely brown!

My mum has brown eyes, my dad green. Mine are grey (not blue grey or green grey) with a yellow ring around the iris.

The pupil, not the iris, obviously

My DD is 12 now and I swear that her eye colour is still changing - born with deep blue eyes, lightened to violet blue (like my sisters), changed to green (like my own) and are now on their way back to blue, but with a dark hazel ring on the outside. It's fascinating, I wonder if they will ever settle.
Her Dad and brother both have dark brown eye colour.

This happened in my family with one brown eyed and one blue eyed parent.

@radgybadger You’re the same as us! I have green eyes, DH has brown eyes and DD has blue eyes.

Ex and I have brown eyes.
Dc1 has blue
Dc2 was blue until teens then went green
Dc3 has brown eyes.

Dc1 and dc2 has completely different shades of blue and dc3 has a different shade of brown compared me ex and I. We suspect that the blue eyes come from the grandparents generation- we both have a blue eyed parent.

I have brown eyes, my DH has green eyes, and our son's are a kind of bluey-grey. My parents were a brown and green eyed combo and me and my brothers all have brown eyes. I think all that stuff you are taught in school science classes about brown eyes being dominant don't take into account that you can pass on genes from either of your parents including the non-dominant ones.

My mum’s eyes are green and my dad’s are blue. I inherited my mum’s eyes but my brother got brown eyes - the same eyes as my mum’s mum.

My DC had blue eyes and his dad also has blue eyes but my DC’s eyes are not the same as his dad’s - they are the same as my dad’s half brother (very distinctive shade and shape). Nobody else in his family has eyes like that apart from the half brother and my DC. You inherit your eyes from somebody in the family line but not necessarily one of your parents.

I have browny green eyes that look very dark unless you are close up. DH's eyes are muddy green (sorry DH!). One DC has grey/blue eyes with a gold centre, another has blue/grey eyes again with a gold centre, and the last one has a fascinating mix of brown, blue & gold - similar to my DM & DB. The blue in their eyes has come about because all four of my grandparents had blue eyes, and at least two of DH's did too. Eye colour is so fascinating, really. When DS1 was a baby I couldn't believe how his eyes stayed grey/blue, I was waiting for them to change - but no, they were fixed by six months & they are just the same colour as my maternal grandmother's were, so skipped two generations.

Everyone says how babies are not born with brown eyes but blue and they change, but both I & my Dd were born with very brown eyes. Not blue at all.

Mine are brown, dh's bright blue and both kids green!

Floors me that an adult able to reproduce doesn’t realize that with a browned eyed parent and a blue you can have any combination possible.
It comes from your own genetic background unless delivered by the stork.
