Baby Eye Color Predictor

Estimate the chances of your baby having brown, green or blue eyes from both parents' eye colors, using a simplified genetics model.

For general information only — not medical advice. Results are estimates; talk to a doctor or qualified health professional about your own health.

How to use

  1. 1Choose each parent's eye color.
  2. 2See approximate odds — real inheritance involves many genes, so surprises happen.

How it's calculated

A simplified two-gene model commonly used for teaching (brown dominant over green, green over blue). Real eye color is influenced by more than a dozen genes.

Frequently asked questions

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

It's rare but possible, because several genes influence eye color — the simple model says almost never, reality says occasionally.

When is a baby's eye color final?

Many babies' eyes darken during the first year; color is usually settled by about age 1–3.

What about hazel or gray eyes?

They're variations produced by the same pigment genes; this model groups them with green and blue.
