My fiance has gorgeous blue eyes. His mother and sister have blue eyes and his father too. My father has blue eyes and mother has brown eyes, my sister has hazel eyes and I have brown eyes. Can we figure out what color our baby girl's eyes will be. I hope they are the color of her fathers

50% blue
50% brown.
Those are your odds.

Hi,
You will not know the color of your child's eyes until well after he or she is born. Almost all babies are born with blue eyes as their eye pigmentation is not yet finished and then this color often changes but not always. Usually takes at least the first 6 months to know for sure or even up until the first year or a little over of life. Brown eyes are the most dominant. Hazel or green eyes are recessive but are more dominant than blue eyes. Blue eyes are recessive. In the long and short of it, your baby will be most likely to have brown eyes as far as probability is concerned. Here's the good news for you. Every baby/child is different. So, your child could have hazel/green or blue eyes. Maybe even a dark blue variation versus a light blue. You will never know for sure while carrying the baby.

It is a 50/50 chance that the eyes will be blue.
However, this is based on the traditional Punnett square method, and there is some evidence to show that this method does not adequately explain eye color.
The fact that your sister has Hazel eyes is actually not explainable using Punnett squares. This does not mean your sister is not really your sister, rather it means that the model most people use is too simple.
Statistically speaking, the original answer of 50/50 is right, but it does not take into account shades of color or the possibility of Hazel eyes.
Following the Punnett square on my parents, one kid should have blue eyes, one should have brown. Instead, I have blue and my sister has Hazel/green. The model is just too simple.

Eye color is determined by the amount of a pigment called melanin that is in the iris of the eye. Brown eyes have lots of pigment, blue eyes very little. The amount of pigment is determined by a number of genes controlling pigment production. Generally speaking, brown is dominant, meaning that if one parent has brown eyes and the other has blue eyes, the baby will most likely have brown eyes. Sorry.

You wont know for a while. My father and I have green, my brother has blue, my mother has brown, my husband and his mother father and sister all have brown.
My son was born with blue, they then turned green, then hazel, and now at 6 months they are starting to get darker... I was hoping for green, but looks like they will probably end up brown.
Now I can just hope he gets my curly hair.... otherwise he looks just like his father!!

Until they're older it's impossible to tell. I believe blue eyes are usually dominant, but that doesn't always mean anything. Both of my boys have blue eyes like their father, while I have brown.

Usually brown eye color is dominant. BUT you never know. I have blue eyes and my husband has green eyes. My daughter ended up with dark brown eyes and my sons has light blue eyes.

Brown is dominant so in this case she has a one in four chance of blue eyes. Of course that's straight odds. As it happens my family is similar to yours. My parents (one blue eyed, one brown) ended up having two blue eyed children and two brown. (Beat the odds) Good luck. I'm sure she will be a beautiful little girl either way.

My 2 month previous has deep Blue eyes. Blue eyes run in my kinfolk and my husbands yet I really have brown eyes. SO i'm no longer confident. I sort of imagine she will be in a position to have blue eyes. I only have that feeling. i imagine your little you'll have captivating darkish brown eyes. playstation . it extremely is the countless perfect head of hair I really have seen on slightly one.

You won't really know until the baby is born. Is it really that big of a deal?
My husband has blue eyes. Everyone else in his family has brown eyes except for great uncle Joe. Who knew?

I think they will be brown. If I remember correctly both parents have to have blue eyes to have a blue eyed baby. Brown is the dominant gene.
