Baby Eye Color Predictor
Predict your baby's likely eye color based on both parents' eye colors. Based on simplified genetics — for fun, not diagnosis.
Eye color is influenced by multiple genes and is more complex than simple dominant/recessive inheritance. This predictor provides approximate probabilities for entertainment purposes.
Eye Color Facts
- Most babies are born with blue or gray eyes that may change over the first 1-3 years
- Eye color is determined by the amount and distribution of melanin in the iris
- Brown eyes have the most melanin, blue eyes have the least
- Eye color is polygenic — controlled by at least 16 different genes, not just one
- This calculator uses a simplified model. Actual results can surprise parents!
- Two brown-eyed parents can have a blue-eyed child if both carry recessive blue alleles
- Eye color typically stabilizes by age 3, though subtle changes can occur into adulthood
