OK. For The Bubble Boys, as follows:

Paternal grandparents. Brown and Brown.

Maternal grandparents. Blue and Blue.

Parents. Blue and Brown.

DCs:

DS1 - Blue
DS2 - Blue
DS3 - Blue
DS4 - Brown

And yes. There is feck all on telly.

And don't get clever with any 'Aquamarine' or 'Hazel/Pecan' nonsense. Blue is blue and brown is brown for the purposes of this poll.

Eye colour is complicated and isn't controled by a single gene. It is controled by a number of genes, each of which has a number of variations.
this is interesting as is this

CarGirl. Fair 'nuff. Hazel is added to the 'valid' list.

TBH. As no Bubble Girls were forthcoming, I was pleased to have a brown-eyed boy for a change!
