He's light blonde hair, light, light, blue eyes. Im light skinned, light brown eyes, and dark hair...
Is there a higher chance of my baby looking pure hispanic because I (the mother) am, or is there a higher chance of him/her looking Caucasian?
Is there any percentage to know that the baby will have colored (blue, green, ect.) eyes, over having regular brown eyes?
Maybe the only way to know is to wait it out??

You'll have to wait it out. There is really no way of knowing who has the dominant genes.

The only way to know is to wait it out.
My cousin dated a african american guy for a while and she got pregnant. When the baby was born yes it was very light skin but it soon changed and her child is very dark. Her child looks nothing like her mom (My cousin). She is a beautiful little girl but you would never guess that her mom is white.
My family's heritage is cherokee indian and alot of us are dark skinned. We look like we lay in the tanning bed but we don't. Some of us (My siblings/cousins) are dark skinned (tan looking) and the rest are white as white can get.
You will just have to wait and see. The child could take after you or completely after him or the both of you combined.
Brown eyes are dominant over blue. My husband has blue eyes and i have brown eyes so you see our son took after me and has brown eyes.
Good luck

My husband is white with light brown hair and green eyes and very pale skin and I'm a dark hispanic woman with black hair and dark brown eyes. Other than his dark hair and dark eyes, my son looks identical to my husband and I look like the nanny.

Wow...I'm kinda scared by some of the other answers.
Hair & eye color are not passed on based on gender. Period. And we have known for years which genes are dominant in humans.
Blue eyes and blonde hair are recessive traits. Brown hair and brown eyes are dominant traits. What that means is that the chances are very strong that your child will have dark hair and dark eyes.
However, there is always a chance (about 25% with each physical trait) that the baby will have lighter features.
Additionally, any blue eyed or blonde haired ancestors in your gene pool would add to the chances of the child being born with these traits. Similarly, any brown eyed or brown haired ancestors in your bf's family will add to the chances that the baby will have darker features.
It's a bit of a crapshoot, really...You're gonna have to wait until the baby is born to see how beautiful they are!

You'll need to wait it out.
In my family's case, my Dad is white with blond hair and blue eyes. My Mom is Mexican with brown eyes and brown hair. My brother and I are light-skinned with blue eyes and brown hair.
My brother's son is light-skinned with light brown eyes and brown hair. His son's mother is a light-skinned Mexican with brown eyes and brown hair.
You just never know what genes will dominate.

It's very hard to tell. A genetic counselor could give you specific percentages based on his or her experience and going back a few generations in both of your families. But don't worry! I work in a diverse community with many hispanics/caucasians and they have incredibly beautiful babies!!! I have seen some amazingly handsome kids with dark skin and teal blue eyes!! and little blonde kids with beautiful dark "spanish eyes!" Your little one will be uniquely beautiful!!! Congratulations and best of luck...

Yep, the only way to find out is to wait. My husband is light-skinned Hispanic, I'm very light Caucasian. My husband has very, very light green eyes, I have very light blue eyes. Our daughter has skin that is darker than both of ours, and her eyes are a dark greenish-brown. My brother-in-law and his wife both have black hair and brown eyes and dark skin. Three of their boys have their coloring, their forth came out looking just like his brothers but he has blonde hair, blue eyes and light skin. My husband's parents both have black hair and dark brown eyes, but only one of their 3 kids came out with that combination, my husband's sister has almost blonde hair and sky blue eyes, his brother has the dark hair, skin and eyes, and my husband has black hair, light skin and the light eyes. Genetics just don't always work out like we learned in high school biology!

My baby is half white half bangladeshi, i have green eyes and light brown hair. Baby's taken his fathers dark eyes, and dark hair. His skin is light brown, like he has a tan. I think the baby will get a mixture of you both.

well my son was born white like me but has dark brown hair and brown eyes like his father. He is a darker Hispanic but you can tell by looking at my son that he is mixed.
