The colour of your kids eyes?

[fizzyapple1]

If your mum has very pale grey/blue eyes and your father has pale hazel eyes is it possible to have a dark brown eyed child?

As I hope you have realised from all the posts above, you cannot use eye colour to determine parenthood.

if there are other reasons to doubt your sister's parenthood, this is for her to investigate, not you. You need to stay well out of this.

Although hazel eyes are a mix, I don't think you could have hazel eyes without a brown gene in there somewhere so having a brown eyed child seems very plausible.

I have very dark brown eyes and my DH has blue eyes, all three of our DC have hazel eyes.
My sister has one blue eye and one green eye!

It's possible, and it can skip multiple generations... no one in my immediate or extended family have green eyes, but I am (apparently) the spit of my great grandmother (green eyes). All grandparents and parents (and aunts and uncles) are either brown, blue or hazel.

In order to have blue eyes, you have to have inherited '2' blue eyed genes from your parents (both submissive genes)So 2 blue eyed parents cannot have a dark brown eyed child. However 2 brown eyed parents can have a blue eyed child.

It is possible for the pale hazel eyes to have started off as dark brown eyes. Both my father and I had dark brown eyes when we were children, but when we were 16 (many years apart), they changed to green/pale hazel. It's quite common. Now, legally, our eye colour is classed as green. It's something to do with a decrease in the pigmentation, I think, but is also thought to be connected to migraine - which both my father and I suffer from.

It's the same with hair colour. Everyone in my family has brown/brown-with-auburn-tints-in-it hair... except for my daughter, who had blonde hair as a baby (I've no idea what the natural colour is anymore, as she's spent the last 6 or 7 years relentlessly dying it!). Her father's side of the family... all have brown or black hair. I can only imagine that it's a recessive gene from somewhere.

I have blue/green eyes my exh has blue and I have two blue eyed children and a brown eyed.

I am a very dark brown eye colour while dh is blue. Dd has grey eyes like my granny had and ds's are as dark as mine!

I have 3 siblings who all have brown eyes. Our oldest children all have blue eyes and the youngest brown.

two blue eyed parents CAN NOT have a brown eyed child!!! That is not a myth, it is genetics!!!!!

that would be true only for 'true' blue eyed persons.
often there is a mix of colour genes even if the eyes appear pure blue.

My DH has bright blue eyes and I have very green eyes. I have 2 children with steel grey eyes 1 with dark brown and 1 with bright blue. My DH is definitely their father, I was there at the time
