What Color Will My Baby’s Eyes Be?

I am not a geneticist, but the probability chart in this article seems to defy common sense and contradict reality. For example, it says that two parents with brown eyes has only 75% chance of having children with brown eyes, whereas two parents with blue eyes have 99% chance of having children with blue eyes (same with green). If this were true, then the world should be gradually filled with people with blue or green eyes. This is certainly not happening, certainly not in the three continents of Asia, South America and North America where I have lived for at least a decade each. Even if we just consider Caucasians, we would certainly see a lot more with blue or green eyes.

Keep in mind that the chart assumes heterozygous parents, meaning that parents with brown eyes would be assumed to have one brown gene (dominant) and one blue or green gene (recessive). In places like Asia, Africa, and South and Central America, of course, the heterozygous assumption doesn't hold; virtually everyone there is homozygous, with two brown-eye genes. So if one or both of the parents is not caucasian, the chart isn't valid. In fact, no chart is needed at all in that case: the child will almost certainly have brown eyes.

The chart also makes some assumptions about the likelihood of a recessive gene being blue or green that probably don't hold in the general population. Really, the chart is most useful for demonstrating how different genes interact when they do come in contact than anything else.

My eye color is a quirk of the eye color inheritance. One parent has blue eyes, and the other has green. I came out with brown. My mother's family has only blue eyes, and my father's side has only green, with the exception of his mother, who has brown. Explain that!

This is really scientifically incorrect. Eye color depends upon dominant and recessive genes. My father has brown eyes, my mother has blue eyes and my sister and I both have green eyes. You cannot say that a child has a 0% chance of having brown eyes coming from parents with blue and green eyes. It just doesn't work that way!

I find this chart hard to believe. My daughter is expecting her first child and is hoping that her baby has her husband beautiful blue blue eyes as she has green. But I have brown and my husband has blue which the chart states that we will not have any green eyed children. Well 2 out of our 3 children have green and the other has brown like me. So I guess she will have to wait and see for herself!

The eye chart is sort of strange to me. My Mom has brown eyes and my Dad has blue eyes. I have hazel eyes. My Mother-in-law has brown eyes and so does my Father-in-law but my husband also has hazel eyes. What does that mean for our children?

I have hazel eyes (more amber), but unti I was 12 they changed from grey to hazel, then they stopped changing only lighter or darker. I am female, but look so much like my father (including the eyes). None of my siblings have my eye color, none of my father's siblings had it, none of his parents or siblings had it, only his maternal grandfather. My youngest son has medium brown eyes, but not as light as mine. My eyes look green in the sun & seem darker in the winter and lighter in the summer and I have been told they change color when I get angry. What causes this? I hate that contacts were ever invented. I am AfricaN American & no one ever believes my eyes are real even after they ask me. I can't wait to see what my grandkids will look like someday since my husband is African American & Caucasian. My great grandparents were Native American, AFrican American, & Caucasian. Genetics is really interesting. My youngest son looks Hispanic and has hair down to his rear, but very curly and people think he's hispanic, but my oldest son looks darker and AFrican American, but the only trait they share are dimples (which don't run in my family and the kids are 12 years apart in age. My middle son looks exactly like my husband. My oldest looks like my father when he was 12, and I look exactly like him as he got older. Add a mustache and cut my hair and that's him (eyes and all).

lighter colour eyes seem to be dominant in my family. My dads side of the family is from norway and chile, however all 6 kids in his family are dark skinned dark eyes. my dads sister who is dark haired dark eyed just had a baby with her husband who is 100% from south america and dark as well. The son that they had was blue eyed and blonde hair! My sister is the same as their son(light) and i also have blue eyes, however my mother has blue eyes! and my grandma has one brown eye and one blue eye ! its cool!

I agree that the chart is inaccurate. My entire family has light blue eyes, and my children's father's entire family has dark brown eyes. Our daughter and younger son have eyes that are sometimes hazel and sometimes amber. They are both redheads. Our older son (the middle child) has brown hair and eyes that are sometimes yellow and sometimes light green. Everyone says they look like cat eyes. In black and white pictures, my very light blue eyes and his cat eyes look clear. It's eery. You never know what you're gonna get.

The chart doesn't display which recessive genes the parents have, which is why there are quite a few anomalies. For the blue + brown eyed parents, the 50%/50% would indicate that the parent with brown eyes had a recessive trait for blue eyes, instead of green. If both had a recessive trait for green eyes, it would end up being something like 50% brown, 25% blue, 25% green, depending on how recessive green-eyed traits actually are.

I guess this chart is somewhat true. My dad has brown eyes and my mom has green. There are 6 kids in our family and 2 have brown, 3 have blue and one has green. My grandma has the bright blue eyes, but I was just surprised that she passed that down to 3 of my brothers because neither one of my parents have ever had blue.

I'm caucasian. My Dad's eyes are gray and my mom's are medium-dark brown. I am the oldest of their 4 kids and have green eyes. #2 has blue eyes and the 3rd and 4th kids have brown. #3 has almost black eyes and #4 has medium brown like mom. Maternal Grandparents all had brown. Paternal side was a mix of brown and blue (more brown eyes than blue). There is no Gray/Brown mix so I didn't know what catagory to place my dad in. I went with blue/brown since they are closer to that than green. There is no chance of me having green eyes so what gives??

I found out that everyone with blue eyes is related to each other. It's a genetic mutation of the eye, and everyone who has blue eyes shares a common ancestor from about 6,000 - 10,000 years ago. So I have blue eyes, so if someone else out there has blue eyes, I'm related to you! And both my parents had blue eyes too, and so does my sister. My girlfriend has green eyes, so if we have kids there is a 50 50 chance of it being blue or green? Well, that's not entirely true about the most common eye color of caucasians have blue eyes, most of them have brown, actually. Just saying. I love my eyes!

I had blue eyes up until the age of 4, then they changed to green. Both of my parents and two of my sibling have hazel eyes and one of my siblings has brown eyes. My father has one sibling with blue eyes and two with brown, and all of my mother's siblings have brown eyes. My husband has brown eyes, his father and two siblings also have brown eyes but, his mother has hazel eyes and her siblings all have light blue eyes. Some couples i know both have brown eyes and their children come out with blue, but then again i know a few other couples that they both have blue or green eyes and their children come out with brown. These charts are just useless. I really think that there is no way of predicting your future baby's eye color, though i wish there were an accurate way.

Dina

You gotta think of it like cards. Brown trumps green, green trumps blue. So someone with blue eyes inherited a blue-eyed gene from both of there parents, so therefore if 2 blue-eyed ppl have a baby then yes, there is a VERY good chance the baby will have blue eyes.

Give the author a break.. Even the best geneticists don't know the science of eye color genes and there really is not exact science to predicting eye color, as of yet. There are variables and genes that have not been discovered.

All eye colors are pretty and some don't make sense. They can't expalin everything....

Hi. I have gone to a few different sites about eye color and they all seem to say different things? I really think eye color is just a matter of chance.
My mother has light brown eyes and my father has hazel. My older brother has light brown eyes and my younger brother has hazel. I have dark brown eyes.
My husbands parents both have blue eyes his younger brother has blue eyes and his sister I think has blueish green eyes. My husband has blue eyes as well but sometimes they look green.
Our son is 6 months old and his eyes are a dark but slightly light blue right now. They always seem to be looking darker or almost lavender. It's so interesting to watch as they change or seem to change but then look like they aren't changing at all.

No one's explained how the mulatto offspring (one brown eyed African-American parent & one Caucasian parent) sometimes have completely blue eyes. My ex-BF had blue eyes, his mother was white & his father African-American. A few of my online friends who are brown eyed African-Americans had blue eyed children with a Caucasian partner. Plus, the African-American/brown eyed actor Cuba Gooding Jr. young daughter by a Caucasian has blue eyes, his hair though. But bright blue eyes. You could look up the picture on the "celebrity baby blog" and see.

Doing a mendalin cross WWxww would yield children of all dominant Ww gene - however they would be carriers Wwxww or ww could reveal a recessive gene child such a blue eyed child. This is a simplification. For eye color one gene does not control your inheritance. Two+ genes on one chromosome or two+genes on different chroms delineate eye colour...in general two blue eyed individuals are most likely to give birth to a blue eyed offspring - blue is ressive, however since brown is dominant an individual with brown eyses may be a blue, green, hazel carrier when combined with partner may give unique eye colour. Genetics is a multifacaeted topic with definate truths and maybes, don't alway be looking for the other in the woodpile. However in general blue+blue yields blue, brown plus brown could be anything and green plus green means your child is probable going to have some mighty pretty eyes.

I was born with blues eyes, and all through out my primary school years they stayed that way right up to I was about 11 when they started to turn hazel, I have another theory on the color change I started wearing glasses when I was 10 and have over the last 14 years had my lenses strangthened 4 times. I think it is because my sight is becoming worse as i get older My eyes are now fully green and have been since i was mid teens.

Ps- I also have a son and his fathers eyes are blue and our son has blue eyes. Kelly

My mum has green eyes and my dad has blue eyes they have five kids including me. Based on the chart at least two should have green eyes. This isn't so. All four of my siblings have blue eyes and so do i.

The blue and brown percentage works in my family though. My uncle has blue eyes (red hair) and his girlfriend has brown (brown hair). Both my cousins have red hair but my uncles son has brown eyes and my uncles daughter has blue eyes.

So the above statement also makes the hair colour 'fact' false, my uncles and cousin's hair are quite light.

My father had blonde hair as a child and my mother had brown hair as a child. Now light brown and almost black. But all five of my parents children were born with blonde hair and had blonde hair until we were at least 8, when it started to get darker. Infact my sister and brother still have blonde hair. Even though they're 19 and 16.

My aunt has blue eyes and my uncle has brown eyes. Their eldest two children have brown eyes and their youngest has green eyes.

My nan and grandad had blue eyes and out of 8 children, 1 had green eyes (my mum)

This article is BULLCRAP. Genetics (even with just eyes) are not that predictable. One has to consider the genetics of the parents and grandparents of the child, not just the parents, because those genes don't just magically disappear. The writer seriously lack research in this-- and that's obvious. ANyone can look at their own families and see inconsistancies with this study.

My dad has blue eyes, my has brown. My sister got green eyes (supposedly impossible by this article, although more realistic articles will argue that you have about a 15% chance of having a green eyed baby if one parent has blue and the other brown eyes-- and higher I believe if you have a sibling with green eyes), 5 of us got brown eyes and my youngest brother got yellow/grey eyes (they're really something else. . . !)

My green eyed sister married a green eyed man; both thier kids have blue eyes (which according to this thing is not so likely).

besides, yellow and grey eyes aren't even covered here. . . nor are hazel.

I'll echo a previous comment that prediction is probability and probabability is the likelyhood of an event occuring. Nothing is exact.

No Paul, I think YOU are the one who hasn't had many science classes. Science is constantly changing, and genetics is one part of it that is still being heavily researched because it is NOT "well understood". Despite the fact that the human genome has been/is being figured out, no one knows what all those sequences of nucleotides mean. Eye color is just one area of genetics that still has researchers stumped (if it didn't, a simple google search would give you the answer to this question). They know of three genes that definitely HELP determine eye color, but they are sure that there are even more factors that control it.

Everyone needs to take into consideration the fact that this is a MOST LIKELY scenario. As a few have already pointed out, this assumes that the parents are HETEROZYGOUS (meaning, they don't have two genes for the same color). Since the gene for the color that is not shown (ie: the color that is recessive and that is masked by the dominant gene [the color shown]), there are innumerable possibilities. Also, since hazel and grey are not shown, there are still more possibilities. If you don't 'fit' the profile... its ok! It doesn't mean the key is necessarily wrong, however. Just keep an open mind and know that nature always has exceptions to rules!

This chart seems a little bit indefinite, however I've been to this website with a more accurate "eye color prediction". It asks for your parents eye color, your spouse's parents eye color, your eye color, and your spouse's eye color. Then it calculates for the possible color of your child's eyes. (note: they ask for the your parents & spouse's parents eye color for a better background of the child's genotype). I hope it helps:

I just happened to read the last few comments. I tutor AP high school biology and genetics.
The chart is accurate with a few exceptions. Eye color inheritance is a little more complicated than what is shown.
Also this chart shows probable out come which can be very different from the actual outcome. All though statistically rare, two brown eyed parents can have four children in a row with blue eyes.
A brown eyed person and a blue eyed person CAN have a green, gray or hazel eyed child.
All that one can say for sure, is that a child can't have a darker eye color than the darker eyed parent. Two blue eyed or green eyed biologic parents cant have a child with brown eyes.

dennis

Two brown eyed parents have a 25% chance of having a recessive eye colored child if and only if and only if they EACH have a parent with a recessive eye color.
two blue eyed parents carry only the recessive iris color so they cannot produce a dominant color.

THIS IS A FACT - A COUPLE WITH BOTH BLUE EYES CANT HAVE BROWN EYE KIDS.

If this happen in your family or with someone you know you better do a DNA test, cause thats the truth. People with blue eyes only can give the blue eye gene..

BLUE EYE GENE + BLUE EYE GENE = BLUE EYES

Otherwise...

GREEN EYE GENE + BLUE EYE GENE = BROWN/BLUE/GREEN

How come?

The fact of at least 1 person got green can give brown eye kids cause people with green eyes have in them the BROWN/BLUE/GREEN gene...acording to these facts:

THE BROWN ALWAYS WIN OVER GREEN AND BLUE.
THE GREEN ALWAYS WIN OVER BLUE AND LOSE OVER BROWN.
BLUE ALWAYS LOSE WITH GREEN AND BROWN.

If this green eye person gives these diferents genes happens diferent things:

Green eye person + Blue eye person (only can give blue genes) =

BROWN + BLUE = BROWN
GREEN + BLUE = GREEN
BLUE + BLUE = BLUE

So if like someone said upthere that his grandparesnt have blue eyes and they gave 4 brown eyes kids..thats bulsh+t, or at least 1 of them has green, not blue, or someone gots cheated 4 times.

Thats the truth!!!

I cannot wait to see my babies eye color. My husbands eyes are brown (he is Asian) and my eyes are naturally green (caucasian, blond hair). I think this child will be extremely beautiful.

Hi everyone!
I'm new here (just found this spot) and unfortunately, I haven't the time to read all these posts (I hope to later), I have to rush off. I would like to know where the heck my eye color comes from. They are gold/yellow. If the sun doesn't come out for a while they will turn slightly more green. But they are quite literally "cat eyes". I know, because I held my cat's eyes up to mine and there was little difference. I suspect maybe there is something other that caucasian in my family, but I have no other traits of say, Native American or Black. I am fair skinned, dark blonde with a hint of redhead about me, and I can NOT figure this out. The closest I've come was I once read somewhere that golden/green eyes were of Germanic origin. Can't seem to verify that. Can anyone help???
I will come back to read everyone's posts as soon as I can, and thanks in advance for any information you can provide!!!

Sorry Jo, but a couple with blue eyes can in fact have brown eyed children. While this is very rare, I have a cousin with brown eyes and both his parents (and grandparents on both sides and three siblings) have blue eyes. (And no, there was no cheating involved). Eye color is a result of four different alleles usually identified with the letters B and G. If a parent passes on a dominant B, the child automatically has brown eyes (the shade of brown depending on the other three alleles). The G allele codes for green or hazel eyes. However, in very rare instances, two parents with blue eyes can have a child with brown eyes if they both have the genotype bbGg. (This is confusing because G is supposed to mean green over blue, but sometimes there is a shift to the lighter side so the parents have bluer eyes than their genetic makeup says). If both big Gs are passed onto the child, his/her genotype would be bbGG. Under some circumstances, the presence of two G alleles will give brown eyes, and not dark green. Although this is very confusing and probably hard to understand, there is genetic proof of this and it is not a case of mistaken fatherhood.

... plus, did you know that eye color can also depend on your environment?

For a better idea of what color eyes your children will have, I highly recommend this site: http://museum.thetech.org/ugenetics/eyeCalc/eyecalculator.html ...it's really neat.

Well i myself and bright blue eyes, as does my dad my mums eyes and grandparents eyes are also blue but not as bright blue as mines and my dads or my 2 siblings all our eyes are identicial 2 my dads. However my partner has brown eyes his father brown eyes his mother blue eyes! Our daughter has bright blue eyes and looks identicial to myself..not much like her father..there was absoult no funny business involed thats just how it is...the eye chart says 50/50 and cant wait 2 see if our next child has brown eyes and looks like my partner..or another me! Either way i think its all about dominent genes & chance...

I have a baby girl age 14 months. At birth, she had bluish/green eyes. At this point in time, I have no clue what color they are. I am continuously having people compliment my baby's eyes. Each person believes her eyes are rare, but beautiful. Some say they are blue and silver. Her father's eyes are green, mine are brown. However, although I am hispanic, several members of my family have hazel and blue eyes. Genetics of the eyes are a wonderful thing.

I think that there is a common factor in this eye survey that people aren't addressing. Well, somebody above posted something about the "mailman delivering more then mail". The important factor is the denile of cheating women, that totally throws this entire survey and percentages into the trash. Have you ever seen "the Maury show"? Yeah, i figure that about 80% of the women on that show don't even know who they laid down with.
Paternity tests are god sent, to help men that chose to make a bad desician. Paternity tests catch dirty girls.
I am reading these posts because my friend just had a child with bright blue eyes. Well, him and his [now wife] have dark brown eyes. So, go figure... The law in USA is that if a man has provided for a child before he finds out that the child isnt his, the [rent a dad] is required to pay child support for a child that was never even his [until the child turns 18].
I had a friend when i was younger who had blue eyes and blonde hair, while her sisters had brown hair and brown eyes. Well my friend found that she actually had a different dad then her siblings when she was about 16 years old.
These percentages above about eye color are totally off, because the members in the study- were not controlled. The members were never put on a lie detector test to show if they had cheated. Alot of women, after making a serious mistake of cheating- go into self denile- as if it never happened. Anyway... enough of this. My friend should take his baby down and have a paternity test. I cant break the news to him... but all he talks about is how he cannot stand this woman- who has 2 previous kids... he married because of the child- with blue eys.

my mothers eyes are brown and my fathers eyes are hazelish green

the babys fathers mother has light brown and his father had the same eye color as him

My mom always told me that 2 people with brown eyes can have a blue eyed child, but 2 people with blue eyes could not have a brown eyed child. Now, my aunt and uncle both had brown eyes and their first 2 daughters had brown eyes, then they had a son that was as blue eyed as could be. And i know he belongs to my uncle because he looks exactly like him. The explanation is, my uncles father had the most beautiful blue eyes and so the son's eyes are exactly like the grandfathers. Now as for the 2 blue eyed people having a brown eyed child, well i think this would be much harder and more rare. Im not saying it is not possible, but the chances are very unlikely. I have known some people that were both blue eyed and had a brown eyed child, only to find out later that the father was someone else. So yes, i can see where the charts are just at the mercy of everyone being studied telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Just for measure i have brown eyes and my husband has green, and all three of our children are brown eyed.

Okay, check this out! And no jokes please, I am VERY sure that all of my children are biologically mine.

My wife's maternal grandfather had blue eyes, and her paternal grandmother had green eyes. Both of my wife's parents, however, have brown eyes, as does my wife.

My father has blue eyes and my mother has brown, and I have brown as well.

My wife and I have 3 children. Our oldest, a girl, has green eyes. Our second, our son, has blue eyes, the exact color of my dad's. And our youngest, another girl, has green-hazel eyes, more green than hazel.

What are the odds of that? Two brown eyed parents have 3 light eyed children!

It is actually possible to have a brown eyed child from two blue eyed parents because the mutations can VERY RARELY both transfer over to the same gene (in the prosses of the forming of the child and all the criss-crossing the genes do) leaving one gene with two mutations- BLUE and one with no mutations- BROWN. The other thing is my mom has blue eyes. My dad has brown and his parents had brown and blue too. I have green eyes but the only history of green eyes in my family is on my mom's side and if she has blue eyes that means that that is the only gene she could have given me which means I could only have blue or brown and now I'm super confused. The other thing is that my eyes are blue, green, gray, and very slightly gold. I find it very frustrating that while they are mostly green there really isn't a specific color. They aren't hazel because the base color is blue-green and they aren't opaque. They are very glassy and pool- like. If anyone knows the color let me know.

Erika

As far as I understood from high school genetics...
It worked on a percentage and you needed to factor in the grandparents along with the parents.
The grandparents would predict what genes the parent is carrying... so even though I have brown eyes, my mother has blue (her parent brown and blue) and my dad has green (my dad parents are green and brown - this brown passed on to me) hence my brown eyes.

As far as I understand genetically I have a 50% chance of giving a brown gene as it is dominant to my child and a 25% green and 25% blue...
So as far as I understand this chart can not be right as it doesn't factor in the recessive genes... so my husband has green eyes but he carries 75% chance of green and 25% blue... using his parents and grandparent as references.

Now factor in the percentages or rangers we could throw out in our chromosomes which go to the baby... and you will get a more acurate %.
This will explain why in Africa we very rarely but occationally do find african people born with blue eyes. (A caucasian granparent or great grand parent suddenly gets a throw back gene and you get a very dark skin with a dark blue eye - which is very attractive.)
This chart is too simplified as far as I can see. It only works on pure eye colour... as in you have parents who have the same eye colour...

This is completely inaccurate.
The fun facts state that the continent of Asia and South America 'has no green eyed people'. When in reality, the middle east including India has the largest amount of green eyed people than any other region in teh world? Like 3-5 percent of indians have eye colours other then brown, usually green, sometimes blue, that' slike 40-50million people?
I think the percentage in Pakistan and Afghanistan is even higher.
Green eyes are also common amongst Scottish people.

two people with blue eyes can only have a child with blue eyes! simple as that, as for couples with mixed eye colours it's slightly more complicated it's all about dominant and recessive genes, i can't explain it in words i'd have to draw it down but definatly 2 people with blue eyes can ONLY have a blue eyed child!

The article states that less than 2% of the Global population has Green eyes. This makes me wonder if Hazel eyes are actually in the category of Brown eyes? Hazel eyes see, common here in the U.S.(appearing as a golden or rust color mixed with greens, browns and blues) and do not have that rare leaf-green appearance of 'true' Green eyes.

I personally think that this table makes no sense because it doesn't all lie in what you can physically see. It cannot be figured out by percentage because of the hidden alleles we may or may not inherit. Brown is also dominant over blue. If one parent has blue eyes and another brown, and the parent with brown eyes has no hidden alleles the childs eye colour would 100% be brown.

I wish that everyone would stop acting like the chart above is a definate. It is just a guess based on statistics.. If you want to have a better prediction for eye color then do some research on human eye genetics. I do wish that they had some sort of very detailed eye color predictor. This is the best one I have found because it takes into consideration the parents and grandparents traits. But this still does not take grey/gray, hazel, copper, violet, or amber into consideration. And the guy talking about red/pink eyes...that would be from lack of melanin which is genetic but the red/pink coloration is from the reflection of blood and blood vessels in the back of the eye. not eye pigment. Violet also has a slight blood vessel reflection mixed with very light blue colors.

I have been recently researching the subject of eye color & how it's inheritied. Recent research has shown that eye color is NOT determined by one gene- there are at least three! This makes it possible for parents who have blue eyes to have children with brown eyes.

I have a question, just reply through a comment if you know.
Okay what if two of your grandparents have blue eyes
Ex:My father's mother and my mother's father?
And the other two have brown eyes.
My mother's father has blue eyes but her mom has dark brown my mom ended up with light brown eyes that turn yellow in the sun.
My father's mother has blue but his dad has dark brown, my dad
has a dark complexion like his dad, dark eyes and dark hair.
But for example, my dad's brother has gray eyes.
And on my mother's side one of my cousins has bright green eyes when both parents have brown eyes.
I have naturally very white skin but dark dark brown eyes.
What are the chances of me having lighter eyed offspring with someone who has light eyes as well?
My wife, has hazel eyes, nutty brown on the inside then it turns green then blue.
What color will the offspring's eyes be?
Predominantly?

Julie is right...eye color is NOT determined by one set of genes. Pretending that is makes teaching basic genetics easier. I have green eyes, while both of my parents have blue eyes. Then I noticed that my father's mother has green eyes. The only other person in my family to have green eyes is my cousin's son (not from the same side as green eyed grandmother), and he is the result of a blue eyed white mother and a brown eyed black father. And, finally, the article uses David Bowie as an example of someone with different eye colors...um, his eyes are actually the same color, but one iris is paralyzed due to a boyhood fight over a girl, and on that eyes you can only see the rim of the iris (which is frequently a different shade than the inner iris)

Yes, I believe it's true that brown eyes are slowly becoming a rarity on Caucasians, at least in the United States. I base this on lots of observation in my midwest population. Maybe it doesn't follow the laws of dominance, but I think it's more of a probability thing. (I have brown eyes, my husband has blue eyes and our daughter has blue eyes. My mom has blue eyes, my father brown, and out of three kids I'm the only one with brown eyes.) Also, it seems that most mixed-race kids end up with lighter colored eyes as a result.

This chart is only a general idea of how eye colors may turn out. You still have to consider recessive and dominant genes as well as the incomplete dominance of any eye color. for example: two people, one with a genotype of Ee and phenotype of brown eyes. The recessive gene being for green. The other individual may have a Genotype of ee and a phenotype of green eyes, with both recessives for green. In this case, the chances of a brown eyed person and a green eyed person of having green eyed offsprings are high, Because of the recessive green gene of the person with brown eyes. Try Mendel's chart to plug in these genotypes and you'll see what I mean.

For what I've seen in my life experience and read here, I think we can all agree hazel eyes mostly result from one parent with blue eyes and other with brown eyes. My mom's mother had violet-blueish-greyish eyes and her dad, brown eyes. My mom has dark hazel eyes, but they are hazel anyway. My dad's got brown eyes, and I got light hazel eyes, with greyish dark green on the edges and goldish in the middle. I really like the color of my eyes, no matter if they're not the usual green,brown or blue.

comment 77 is right!

I have to say that I've met many tumes people with green/blue/gray eyes when both their parents had BROWN eyes but I've never met the opposite happening! NEVER!
First, I want to make a distinction between light colored eyes, which means definite colors - light or clear blue, clear green, gray and such. I've never seen any such couple produce a brown eyed kid. I believe in that case the alleged father isn't really the dad or the kid is adopted.
But, there are all the green shades that aren't light or completely green or blue. All the amber colors, the green/blue on the outer side and brown inside and such. They might turn the whole thing upside down when one parent has them and the other is blue eyed. Personally, I believe all the green colors are a result of the meeting of blue and brown so to all those worried here - don't be. Actually, there are many here who have one blue eyed, one brown eyed parent and they have green (which proves my claim).
One of two impossible situations seems to me to be a brown eyed kid out of two definitely light eyed parents.
The other is a light eyes kid out of two parent who've had dark eyes for a few generations back (or many geberations - africa, asia, middle east in parts, south america).

There's something I forgot to say. For those who say that a couple with blue eyes can't produce anything but blue - that's generally true BUT one has to take into account all the people we've known who have eyes that change colors! We all know people whose eyes seem clear blue and change into green or gray so if one of the blue eyed parents is such, they can definitely have green/blue/gray kid. I knew one girl whose eyes turned from gray to blue to green in minutes - it was amazing! And those weren't contacts because it was way befor the contacts became popular and it happened in front of my eyes..

My daughter has brown eyes and I have blue and her father has green. I that is the truth of the matter. Yes her father is definitely her father! She is now an adult and her husband has brown eyes and her one child has brown eyes and her second child now appears to have some kind of blue (she is only six months old). I have read that there are mutated genes that can contribute to exceptions to the general rules! My daughter is supposed to have a zero chance of brown and she does have brown!

He is Native American with black hair, light skin and dark brown eyes. We have 2 light haired, medium skinned, blue-eyed children... a first for both of our families! I have no idea who in our families has blue eyes, but I know that at least 2 generations back is mostly brown. I never thought I would see this day... blue-eyed children!

brown eyed people can have green or blue eyed babies no matter what ethnicity ive seen it happen a lot of times, but it is rare. brown eyes are dominant thats why there's more people with brown eyes than blue or green. i dont think it really matters but its pretty interesting. people want their kids to have blue or green eyes because they're not as common not because brown isnt pretty. oh also most babies are born with blue gray eyes but that doesnt mean they're eyes will be blue.

This chart is retarded. blue eyes are recessive genes and brown eyes are dominant. How can 2 brown eyes parents have only a 75% chance of having a brown eyes child and how can a blue eyed and brown eyed parent have a 50/50? Retarded. I may not have majored in college on human biology etc. but I've learned enough to know that this chart is BS.

Keep in mind that eye color, much like hair color is polygenic meaning that it is controlled by more than one gene. So thats why colors can be mixed, other wise it would be a clear blue, green, or brown, not shades of each.

First, there shouldn't be a "0%" anywhere on the chart. My great aunt and great uncle who both had blue eyes had two daughters -one with light blue eyes and one with dark brown; almost black. My grandmother has dark brown eyes, my grandfather has light blue. They had two blue-eyed sons, three brown-eyed - and one green-eyed! Hmm...

Also: Jo, two blue-eyed parents can ABSOLUTELY have a brown-eyed child. Because one or more of the blue-eyed parents could have had a brown-eyed parent themselves, so they are carrying a blue-eyed gene and a brown-eyed gene. Look it up.

The eye chart does give accurate possibilities, however, it doesn't take into account recessive/dominant traits which pretty much determines what you eye color will be. Check out this website as well: http://museum.thetech.org/ugenetics/eyeCalc/eyecalculator.html - It's an eye calculator and you can input the mother's and father's eye colors, as well as the grandparents' eye colors and it also takes into account siblings. This allows recessive/dominant traits to be taken into consideration and it even shows you which traits are recessive and which are dominant, so you have a better understanding of why some eye colors are simply impossible for some babies. A heads up though to those who think they are some miracle/twist of fate eye color baby: You might want to steer clear of this site because you might discover your eye color is impossible with your parents...if you catch my drift on what .

this cannot be genetically correct, as my eye colour is green, and my parents have brown and blue eyes - there are also no other individuals with green eyes in my family.

If one parent has blue eyes and one has brown and there is a 50% chance that the child will have brown eyes, 50% that the child will have blue eyes, and 0% chance the child will have green eyes then how did I end up with green eyes when my father had brown and my mother has blue?

Sam

The idea that eye color is transmitted via simple single-gene Mendellian inheritance is incorrect and is many decades outdated. Your article suggests that is how it works but that there are exceptions. That is not at all how it works. If your prediction numbers are correct then it is fine to leave them on the web. As for the erroneous genetic pseudoscience you explain with, please either update it or eliminate it. Thanks.

hello. I would like to discuss my points and views. Please don't be rude. Lets all be mature adults here and discuss this calmly and rationally without temper tantrums and fits and no's lets try to be open minded and discuss possibilities. I have read almost everyone's comments and some are very interesting. For one I think it is very rude to say "hey u need to go get a paternity test because that could never happen" have u ever thought how that might affect a person? to tell them the parents they have grown to love and know their whole life is not really their parents at all? Please think about your rude comments before they escape your vulgar unpolite mouth. Ok so I went to that museum link thingy that people have posted to see what your childs eye color should be. I don't understand when people say that its not likely that a parent with brown eyes and a parent with green eyes could not have a child with blue eyes. According to the chart and the museum thingy there is a small possibility not a lot but theres still a small percentage and that counts in my opinion so why dismiss the small 6%? If it was 0% I would have to agree that there was no possibility. Anyways I have read up on the fact that it is impossible to produce a child with brown eyes when both the parents have blue eyes? Now lets take into consideration that small percentage again. So what if two people with brown eyes had a child with blue eyes? Its rare but according to the chart and the museum eye calculator thingy it is indeed possible. Now what if that blue eyed child married another blue eyed person where some where in her family there was a brown eyed parent? So we have two blue eyed parents with brown eyes in the family so can't the brown eyes be passed down from the grandparents? Is it really impossible that grandparents cannot pass down their brown eyes just because two blue eyes cannot scientifically produce brown? Everyone has their own opinion. Some people put science over miracles others vice versa but please just because someone shares their opinion does that really mean u have to shoot it down? Anyways so i have tried figuring this whole thing out, on my side the chart would be correct because my mom and my father both have green eyes so does my sister and I. But on my husbands side is a little more complicated. His mother has blue eyes and i'm trying to get ahold of his dad but he's not answering his phone lol anyways I have a picture of him and its a close up and it looks like he has dark blue eyes but here's a problem, my husband has brown eyes! And my husband looks just like his father. So my husband has brown eyes I have green and our baby boy has blue. He is 3 and still has a little time for his eyes to change but I don't think they r going to.

The eye color chart is not accurate. Blue eyes can be carriers for green, but rarely are green eyes carriers for blue. In the Chart is shows that parents (one with blue and one with brown) cannot have a green eyed child. This is NOT correct. If both parents were carriers for green eyes the offspring would have a 25% chance of having green eyes, a 25% chance of having blue, and a 50% chance of having brown.

When it concerns Caucasian gene pool, this sort of charts are very inaccurate, simply because most eye colors are a gradient in between of brown-green-blue. For example, if a person has brownish-green eyes, the actual gene can be classified as brown, even though it is not a hazel-brown, as well as it can be classified as green.

It says on the chart that when one parent has brown eyes and one parent has blue, it's impossible for the child to have green eyes. This is false. I'm the youngest of four, to a brown-eyed mother and blue-eyed father, and my brother and I both have green eyes.

First of all it, this model does not include hazel, gray, amber or blue-green eyes. My father had one parent with blue and one with hazel, and he had hazel eyes. My mom had one parent with green and one with brown, and she had green eyes. As a child of a hazel father and a green mother, I have brown eyes. Also, three of my four grandparents did NOT have brown eyes. Since I look almost like a female clone of my father, I am sure he really is my dad. This just shows that eye color is a multigeneic trait, and this model is much too simplified. By the way, I married a man with aqua-colored blue-green eyes that changed color depending on his clothing and the lighting, and we had one daughter who has eyes that are gray-green with a hazel star pattern in the middle.

A good study that I recently read about human eye color genetics stated that there are 16 genes that interact to determine iris color. These genes do NOT all have major influence. Some may determine things such as shading of color. It is available on-line.(Sequences Associated With Human Iris Pigmentation by Frudakis et al. in Genetics, Vol. 165, pp 2071-2084, December 2003) This shows how really complex human eye color is. It varies from very dark brown-black to very pale blue or gray, and there may or may not be a star pattern (usually kind of an amber or hazel color) in the middle.

I, too, am for CERTAIN that two blue eyed people (or even 1 person with blue and 1 person with green) cannot have a brown eyed child.

However, there are always exceptions. Chimeras for example are people who have TWO dna's. But it is super dooper rare. Same goes for a couple with light eyes having a brown eyed child. Its extremely rare and like a one in gazillion chance of it happening.

Hey Ven,
You do not understand about recessive genes. If you have two brown eyed parents, they may both have one recessive gene for blue eyes and one dominant one for Brown. They would average one BB child, two bB children, and one bb (blue-eyed) child. If they only have one child, that child may be the bb child. This is actually a very simple explanation for a much more complex inheritance pattern that has 16 known genetic markers that influence color and shade, ranging from palest gray (less pigment than blue) to almost black.

I do have formal training in genetics and am a physician. The article isn't perfect, in that it presents a very simple Mendelian schematic. In truth, most traits are quite a bit more complex. Eye color does involve more than Bb Gg charts. There are matters of genotype polymorphisms, variable penetrance, and incomplete dominance.

But for the layman, it is a good article, as the author points out, the rules work, except when they don't.

I wish people would stop being so bitter on this chart, and be happy with what your child comes out with on the end. We are not here on earth to live by our eye colour, its gonna be what is decided.....people stop being so hell-bent on this chart! and one thing I will disagree on is, they say brown eyes are dominant, Hmmm not exactly true

Well, my Mother has blue eyes, and my father brown ones.
I'm the oldest of 5 Children. My brother is the only one with completly brown eyes, I and two of my sisters have got different shades of hazel, mine being the greenest. And then, there's my littelest sister, who has blue eyes. Well, at first they were black, they kept changing collors for a few months, but then they settled on blue. My father, who was used to his children having dark eyes like himself, refused to believe it and said that they would eventually change colors again, but out baby is 14 months by now and her eyes have stayed blue for the last 8 months XD

Since my grandma from my fathers side had ble eyes, and my grandpa from my mother's side had green ones, I'd agree with the brown gene being dominant over the others, but blue seems to be stronger than the green one. Green and brown, on the other hand, seem to mix. That would explain everything = I and my two hazel-eyed-sister have the green gene from my Mom wich wasn't active because she had the blue one, too, together with my father's brown gene, resulting in hazel eyes. My brother got the blue-gene from my mother and the brown from my dad, and as brown dominates over blue, brown it became.
And my newest baby-sister... Well, she either got both blue- genes from both our parents, or she got blue from my dad and green from my mom, wich resultet in the blue one showing effect...
