You can use a Punnett Square to get you answer. Create a table 2x2. Green eyes are made up of a dominant and a recessive gene, lets call it gene A. Brown eyes are two dominant genes. The square would appear as such:
----- A ---- A

A--- AA --AA

a ---Aa ---Aa

50% of the children would have brown eyes and 50% would have green or dark blue eyes.

Either men or women can have brown or green eyes.
Brown is a dominant trait, green is recessive. If one parent passes on the brown gene, that child will be brown eyed. Both the father and mother must pass on green gene traits to the child to have a green eyed child. The gratest chance is that both children will have brown eyes, 75%. Two green genes are 25%.
