Hello... I am just a bit curious and willing to read opinions. I am latina with brown eyes. My dad has green eyes and my mom has brown. My husband is caucasian with blue eyes. His mom has blue eyes and his dad has green. What eye color my baby would get? Thanks!
 
Most likely, brown. And the thing with green eyes, as my biology teacher explained, is they are actually the same as brown eyes. Just like hazel is simply a different shade of brown, so is green. So anyone with the genes for brown eyes can have kids with green eyes. So the most likely are brown or green, but I'd pretty much bet on brown. Green would be more rare, and blue would be even more rare than that because brown becomes the dominant gene when mixed with blue.
