What Determines Eye Color?

The amount of melanin pigment in your iris determines your eye color. Genes, which come in different versions called alleles, can influence the amount of melanin present.

Common Eye Color Questions

Can two blue-eyed parents have a brown-eyed baby?

Yes, it's possible if both parents carry the recessive brown allele, even though they have blue eyes themselves.

What if one parent has brown eyes and the other has blue?

There's a good chance the baby will have brown eyes since brown is dominant. But the baby could also have blue or green eyes if the brown-eyed parent carries a recessive non-brown allele.

Why do some babies' eyes change color after birth?

Newborns often have blue eyes at first due to low melanin levels. As melanin production increases in the first year, the eyes may darken to their true color.

While our Baby Eye Color Predictor can give you a good idea, the only way to know for sure is to wait until your baby is born! Remember, eye color is just one of the many amazing traits your little one will inherit. No matter what color their eyes end up being, they'll be perfect in your eyes.
