eye color

[Principessa]

@ Rebecca: I am not an ophthalmologist, but as far as I know there are a couple of possibilities for this:
The most recent studies show that blue eyes come from a mutation of a gene responsible for melanin production in the eyes. According to the study the "genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene in our chromosomes resulted in the creation of a “switch”, which literally “turned off” the ability to produce brown eyes".
However this chromosome mutation does not always trigger a complete switch off, it simply limits the production of melanin in the iris and thus produces eye colors ranging from brown to blue. The extent of production or rather the mutation is genetically passed down the generations. It is possible that while you and your husband's melanin production is so low that your eyes are completely blue (though do look for "freckles" in the inner ring around the cornea) the combined chromosomes your daughter had her pick of might allow for some more brown.
In any case however I would certainly talk to the pediatrician about this, as brown spots can indicate medical problems such as liver diseases and you will want this checked. If your pediatrician is ignorant in this regard, get a referral to a ophthalmologist. Please do not be alarmed, those cases especially in children are extremely rare (when adults suddenly develop brown spots this is far more critical) but I simply know that with our little ones we do tend to check every freckle twice simply to be on the safe side and have peace of mind.

Interesting!!

I know I'm coming in late, but this fascinates me since I have one green eye and one blue eye (the blue has a spot of light brown). It can depend on who you ask and what color I'm wearing as to what people think my eye color is.

Jolene , sorry for asking , does it mean that you eyecolour of each eye is different or that your eyecolour changes through the light ?

I can't speak for Jolene, but I think she means Heterochromia

One eye is blue and the other is green.

My eyes are brown around the irises and grey on the outside
In my drivers license I’m listed as having brown eyes

Recognisable. I also have brown around my pupils, but with a more (dark)green/grey to the outside of the irises (including a dark circle at the edge. It depends on the light, my mood, make up etc. which eyecolor I have according to other people. But for the main part of my life  it is said I have brown eyes.

Oh dear.  My hazel eyes did not fare well in this analysis.

The voice makes it hard to listen to, I have to confess it was getting on my nerves....

According to others I my eyes don't have 1 color, but are a mix. The most striking color is brown, but in some light and or mood you would notice (dark) green and/or grey in my eyes. The brown and grey are colors also seen in my direct family.  When watching the video,  I noticed I don't really fit in the comments for brown/green/grey eyes.....

Louis, Dauphin of France and Maria Josepha of Saxony (who were the parents of King Louis XVI of France) were brown-eyed.

In a 1 on 1 conversation with my boyfriend I mentioned some people think I have brown eyes (and that I also assumed it myself in the past). He was surprised, according to him my eyes are more grey / greyish, only just a kind of brown fluff around the pupil
