I have dark brown eyes, so does my mother and father but my boyfriend's eyes are a light brown/ hazel , his father has light blue eyes and his mother has dark brown eyes.. can anyone give any predictions? i would gladly apprieciate it =]
ps: most people in my family [the guys more to be exact] have light brown eyes and a couple of family members that have lighter eyes [ such as my mothers aunt had green eyes..yes random i know but came to find out my grandmothers father had blue eyes..who wuda thought?] so can these factors affect too or are they too far back in my family tree?

Odds are your child will almost certainly have dark brown eyes, which are a dominant gene, unless you are carrying a recessive light eye coloured gene from one of your ancestors two or more generations back. The more generations back you have to go to find a light eyed ancestor, the more unlikely it is that you are carrying that gene.
IF you are carrying a recessive light eyed gene, then the odds are fifty percent that your child will have lighter eyes then yours- there is a twenty five percent chance they will be hazel like your boyfriend because hazel is dominant over blue, green or grey. There is also a twenty five percent chance that your child could get the recessive genes from both sides, in which case the child could have blue eyes like your boyfriend's father, or another light colour from your side.

Mostly babies eyes are blue when they are born but after not too long they change. It has something to do with the light and pigments. I think your little guys going to have brown eyes because its usually the dark color that is dominant. You can study that in biology books...its actually kind of fun to put together different traits to see what would come out..especially since you want to know..You could make a list of the certain traits you guys both have and your family tree too. Goodluck!

Most likely dark brown but usually when they are born they are lighter and change later on so your baby will probable be born with hazel eyes but then later they will get darker.

I was told b my doctor that the reason my first 3 children have my ex husbands brown eyes is because brown is more dominant eye color....
so my guess would be brown...but i am sorry if i am wrong

Brown is the dominant gene, so probably brown.

more then likely brown, but either way when your baby is born it wont matter becasue his/her sweet little eyes that are loooking at you wont matter what color they are!
Congrats...
ps. i hope my baby has beautiful blue eyes like me.. but more then likely they will be brown too..

They will definitly be brown. Brown dominates all.

I say brown, it's dominant.

maybe a ligh brown, or medium brown. They'll probably be blue when he/she is born.

I understand all children's eyes are blue right after birth.
