What color are/were your parents eyes?

[MoseyWalker]

just wonderin'

[SeattleGirl]

1. My mom's eyes are hazel; my dad's were olive green.

I always loved the color of my dad's eyes. He died 30 years ago. About a year after he died, MY eyes changed from hazel like my mom's, to olive green like my dad's. Pretty weird, huh?

[MoseyWalker]

2. olive green sounds nice

as does your story.

thanks for that!

[SeattleGirl]

6. You're welcome!

I totally loved it that my eyes changed color. I was 22 when that happened.

3. Hazel/bluish grey.

The offspring have blue (me), brown, green, blue. On the other hand, my STBE has one blue and one green eye. With my blue eyes we produced one pale blue-eyed boy, and a girl and a boy with hazel eyes.

[MoseyWalker]

7. thanks, but my warped mind has never seen the term STBE

I immediately interpreted it as shorthand for STupid BEing.

?

[crim son]

9. Oh sorry. I thought I'd told you before.

Soon-To=Be=Ex. We are attempting a separation so we can get divorced and not say we didn't try.

12. mom had brown eyes, dad had dark blue

[VenusRising]

13. Both parents had blue eyes. I don't know where

the yellow around the pupil came from though.

This is cool: http://museum.thetech.org/ugenetics/eyeCalc/eyecalculator.html

[Lowell]

14. Mom's eyes were black

Dad's were grey and smoky looking.

[Lumily]

15. Mom - green/ Dad - blue. n/t

[Zavulon]

21. Ditto. (NT)

[mainegreen]

16. All blue. Get my family together and you wont find one non-blue eye.

Lots of tall, pale, blue eyed, freckly blonds and light brunettes in my family.

[City Lights]

17. Mom's were hazel; Dad's are a beautiful shade of blue. eom

[noonwitch]

18. Dad's are blue, mom's are hazel, mine are hazel

Mine look either blue or green, depending on what color I'm wearing. My sister has blue eyes and my brother has gold eyes.

My brother's wife has brown eyes, but all of their children have blue eyes. Weird.

[youthere]

19. Mom brown/Dad blue.

Mine are green.

[otherlander]

42. Dude!

My answer is exactly the same!

[BarenakedLady]

20. Dad's are blue, Mom's are brown...

These are mine

[1gobluedem]

22. Father blue, Mother brown

Mine are hazel; verging green most of the time unless I'm wearing blue.

[trackfan]

23. brown

[Left Is Write]

24. Mom's are green, Dad's are blue.

[BlueIris]

25. Mom: grey-green; Dad: grey-blue. So mine are blue/greenish grey.

Neat, huh?

[Flaxbee]

26. mom = brown, dad = dark hazel/brown

mine are light green with dark green rim

my mom must carry a recessive pale eye gene b/c one of my sisters (different dad) has clear, light blue eyes, and the other sister (different dad from mine, same dad as blue eyed sister) has brown.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear MoseyWalker......

Both my parents have blue eyes!

So.....I do as well!

My dad was the only blue-eyed child in his family.......

Ah, the power of recessive genes!

:hi:

[GenDem]

28. Mother - hazel, father - green, mine - blue

[ceile]

29. Mom green; Dad blue; mine green

[MorningGlow]

30. Mom--pale green; dad--brown

I got a richer green. DH also green...and Jr. has blue eyes. With blonde hair. :wtf:

In fact, the last person in my family to be blonde/blue was my great-grandmother (so I'm told) even though every last drop of blood in all of us is allegedly Sicilian (rumors of an Irish sailor passing through--but I don't have details). After her, nothin' but brown/brown, brown/green...and then TWO blonde/blue in one generation--my son and his cousin, my niece (brother's daughter) (whose mom is a redhead).

Again, :wtf:

I'll never understand genetics!

[Arkansas Granny]

31. Mom - blue, dad - brown. Mine are blue.

I married a man with brown eyes and our kids all had varying shades of blue eyes.

[Zookeeper]

32. Mom-green, Dad-blue...

My eyes are a light blue-green with golden-orange around my pupil. The Book of Kells, describes blue or green eyes with that weird orange as being typically Celtic.

My DH has brown eyes, as do two of our three children. The youngest has pale blue-grey eyes without that Celtic feature.

[Rosemary2205]

33. brown brown and brown.

though I do have a cousin with a lighter brown goldish color eyes and that dark skin so dark it has a bluish tint in florescent lighting. He has what you'd call "piercing eyes".

Me - grey/darkgold with black rim. Sometimes they're slate grey, sometimes they're dark tan, sometimes they're almost black depending on mood and clothing. When I was younger, they could look honey-yellow.

My brother's are basic brown.
