This baby eye color calculator estimates the likelihood of your baby’s eye color from both parents’ eye colors, based on general inheritance patterns. Choose the parents’ colors above.
How it works
Eye color is polygenic, but brown tends to dominate over green, which dominates over blue. General odds:
Both brown → mostly brown, some green/blue Both blue → mostly blue Brown + blue → roughly half brown, half blue
Note
Real inheritance involves several genes, so these are probabilities, not guarantees. A blue-eyed child from two brown-eyed parents is entirely possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you predict a baby’s eye color?
Only as a probability. Brown usually dominates green and blue, but multiple genes mean surprises happen.
Can two brown-eyed parents have a blue-eyed baby?
Yes. If both carry a recessive blue-eye variant, a blue-eyed child is possible.
When does eye color settle?
Often by 6 to 12 months, as pigment develops; some change continues into early childhood.
