Eye colour calculation site?

Anyone know a good (simple) site that explains the chances of getting different eye colours in newborn kids?

Worried that you might now be a father :eek:

doubt it seeing as eye colour is polygenic

Edit: also its only known that a gene commonly involved with blue eyes is recessive. So if your parents have brown or green eyes (if we basically say that they are the other 2 colours, then it would be hard to work out both their alleles)

Hehe, I just wanted to know what the chance of blue eyes were if the mother has green/grey eyes and the father brown eyes.

They should expand that website so you can try and avoid having ginger kids as well

Too late for that, our son is almost 5

Looks like a 18% chance of blue eyes so not that rare

I think hes checking to see what the missus has been up to . . .

Mum = dark brown eyes, Dad = light blue eyes

Me = hazel eyes.

It's possible to get a mixture, that site says that there is a 1 in 3 chance of brown and 2 in 3 chance of blue...my brother and I both have hazel eyes :/
