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
- 1Choose each parent's eye color.
- 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.
