you guys are mostly wrong:
You inherit your eye color from your parents, but no matter what the color is now, it may have been blue when you were born. Why? Melanin, the brown pigment molecule that colors your skin, hair, and eyes, hadn't been fully deposited in the irises of your eyes or darkened by exposure to ultraviolet light. The iris is the colored part of the eye that controls the amount of light that is allowed to enter. Some other animals are born with blue eyes, too, such as kittens.
Melanin is a protein. Like other proteins, the amount and type you get is coded in your genes. Irises containing a large amount of melanin appear black or brown. Less melanin produces green, gray, or light brown eyes. If your eyes contain very small amounts of melanin, they will appear blue or light gray. People with albinism have no melanin in their irises and their eyes may appear pink because the blood vessels in the back of their eyes reflect light.

Caucasians are generally born with blue eyes unless one or both parents have brown eyes. Brown is a dominant trait and blue is recessive, for those of you who want to do a Punnett square. My husband and I are caucasian, I have hazel eyes and my husband has brown eyes. My daughter has always had dark dark brown eyes (from birth).
Dark skinned people like African Americans, Indians, Asians will be born with brown eyes.

some light skinned people are like this although i have a twin sister she was born with blue eyes and they turned brown, but i was born with brown eyes and they stayed brown.
i think mostly white/european ppl have the blue eyes even if they do change. you wont see this happen with many african babies, if any.

No if you have light skin the baby will be born with blue eyes and if you have dark skin they will be born with brown eyes.

No, not all babies are born with blue eyes. I was born with brown eyes and I still have my brown eyes. My cousins were born with brown eyes, so not every baby is born with blue eyes.

Despite what people are saying, no. I was born with green eyes, and I'm red headed and fair skinned. My youngest daughter was born with brown eyes, and she has brown hair.
All babies are not born with blue eyes. Sorry.

Pretty much. Sometimes though they can have brown. Not a sure thing, but yes for the most part they are a dark bluish gray.

most caucasian babies are born with blue eyes- which usually change within the first year to a darker color

I was born with blue eys, but they changed to brown, and my cousin was born with blue eyes but they turned green, so sometime they are, sometimes they aren't.
