It will depend. Maybe the baby could have a different eye color than what the parents have because of their ancestors. Or it could be a 50/50 chance that it will take one of the parent's eye colors. For sure this baby will not have anything darker than the hazel meaning that it will have an eye colour between hazel and blue. green and gray are possible

well it depends but i can tell you this much: under the condition that they have rather golden and greenish specks than red or brown around the iris which means they have clearly light eye colour, the baby is nowhere close to getting a colour darker than both of the parents. here is the strange thing about genetics: darker hair & skin & eye colours are dominant which means that the probability of a baby from parents with one having rather lighter and the other darker features is way much higher to get the darker features. HOWEVER when both parents have rather lighter features which means, for instance both have blue eyes or hazel eyes or both are white skinned or blonde, the chance is ZERO that the baby will have brown hair or eyes or simply any feature darker than the those of its parents whereas parents both having brown eyes or hair can have babies with lighter eye, skin or hair colors which is rather unlikely but not impossible as in the case of blue or in that case hazel eyed parents never having babies with brown eyes.

Brown eye gene = B

Blue eye gene = b

Each person has two copies of the eye color gene in their genome, one inherited from each parent. Now if both parents only carry the gene for brown eyes, BB and BB, then their child will receive one B from each parent, ending up as BB. The same works for blue eyes, if that's the only gene both parents carry, bb and bb. Each parents gives on b to the child, who ends up as bb.

If you have one parent who only has the gene for brown eyes, BB, and one parent who only has the gene for blue eyes, bb, then all the children will have brown eyes. Example: One parent gives a B, the other gives a b. Bb = brown eyes. Here's why: When you have two alleles (coding sequences) from genes that are at odds with each other, one version will override the the other. When dealing with eye color, B always dominates b. But these children now carry the b gene in them, and could pass it down to their own children. Some of them, depending on the other parent, could end up with blue eyes.

If one parent is Bb, and the other is bb, then each time they have a child, there is a 50% chance it will have blue eyes. Example: First parent is Bb, second parent is bb, then their children will end up as either Bb, bb, Bb, bb. If both parents carry the genes for brown eyes and blue eyes, then each time they have a child, there is a 25% chance it will have blue eyes. Example: First parent is Bb, second parent is Bb, then their children will end up as either BB, Bb, Bb, bb.

The genetics of eye color are more complex than previously understood. Almost any parent-child combination of eye colors can occur.

it might have any colored eyes because some color eyes might have skipped a generation, so the baby might have blue eyes
