Did You Inherit Your Mom Or Dad's Eye Color?

Mom and Dad Brown = Me brown
Then how come Me brown and Dh brown= 3 children with varying colors of green/hazel?
 
My dad has blue and my mom, green. I got blue :rolleyes: , but my son got the green! :teeth:
 
My mom's, blue. My sister got our dad's brown.
 
Neither, both of my parents have brown eyes. So probably the recessive genes from both, considering 2 of my 3 siblings have blue eyes, and one has brown eyes.

Both. Everyone in my family has brown eyes except for my brother who has green. I think he's the mailman's kid.
 
Neither. Dad has blue; mom has brown. I have green!

My children are a funny mix too. DH has hazel. DS1- green like momma. DS2- bright blue like my dad. DD- looks like she's going to have daddy's hazel eyes, otherwise brown like both her gramma's. :earboy2:
 
I don't know, they both have brown and so do I, and my brothers. My mom and dad each have multiple brothers with blue eyes though, and each have multiple sisters that are ALL brown-eyed.

I married a brown-eyed man, so both my kids have brown eyes (actually, they are so dark at birth, they look black, and gradually fade to dark brown as they grow...........DS1 is now 10 with eyes about his dad's color which are darker brown than mine, and DS2 is 3 years old, and his eyes are still very dark.

Queen of the stories: I have one about eye color. My dh was playing with my son..........kind of flipping him over and growling, and "chinning" him one day when he came home for lunch. My son was about 18 months old or so. Well, he dropped him. Right on the top of his head, about 2 or 3 feet off the floor. We were in an apartment with a thin carpet and pad over a concrete slab. My son immediately began vomiting, and I panicked. I called the dr.'s office right away, and they asked me to see if his pupils were equal and normal-sized...........I could not see his pupils! I told the nurse, and she panicked.........and I said no, his eyes are so dark, I can't see which is iris and which is pupil...........we had to take him outside in the sun to see! He was fine, btw, and it was just before naptime, and they said not to let him nap, so I had a very cranky toddler until about 5, when I just could not keep him awake any longer. Then I had to wake him every 2 hours through the night.
 
Neither. I'm the only one in the family with dark eyes.

Mom is yellow
Dad was light grey
Brother is Super Blue

Also one of the few with dark hair, too.
 
Dad's hazel eyes.
Mom and all my sibs have blue eyes.

Dh has brown eyes.
Ds has my hazel, 1 Dd6 has dh's brown, other Dd6 has bright blue.
3 kids, 3 different colors, go figure.
 
All three siblings inherited my father's eye color, hazel/green.

My own two children inherited their mother's eye color: steel, icy, gray/light blue. They have gorgeous eyes.
 
This is a very interesting thread! I love to look at how genetics work their magic when choosing eye color. This is why

My mom had Brown
My dad had Brown
I have Green (no brown at all)

DH has Brown
DS8 has Brown
DS5 has Hazel
DD5 has bright Blue

DH mother has Blue
DH father has Brown
 
Mom's brown eyes although mine are much darker.
Mom has blue eyes as a recessive gene and Dad has blue eyes. I'm surprised none of us inherited blue eyes.

I have the same color blue eyes as my Dad. :flower:

My Mom and 2 sisters have brown. :dog:

My mom has brown eyes, my dad has blue...so according to the laws of genetics, my brother and i should BOTH have brown eyes. however, in my dad's family, the blue eyes are a dominant genetic trait-each baby is born with green eyes that turn blue a few weeks later. i am the lone freak, lol, my eyes turned half blue and stopped-i'm left half-green/half blue. my brother has bright, ocean-water blue eyes, and so does his son. my DH has dark brown, almost-black indian (cherokee) eyes, and i prayed and prayed my baby would have his eyes-i actually cried when my DD was born with green eyes, lol, but everyone assured me they'd turn, and they did-she has her daddy's almost-black indian eyes-otherwise, everyone calls her my clone, lol.

My dad had brown eyes. My mom has green eyes. Mine are hazel. Some days they look more brown, some days they look more green. My brother has green eyes.

DH - his dad has the steely blue eyes. His mom brown. His sisters both got blue eyes. He got brown. He looks like his dad, just got his mom's eyes and nose.
 
My mom's eyes are green, my dad's are a hazel/orange.

Mine are dark brown/black, and my brother's are blue. :confused3
