My sisters and I were all born with brown eyes (Eastern European genes). My eyes are not anywhere near as dark brown as either of my sisters, more of a muddy greeny-brown.
My DD was born with her clear blue eyes and they didn't change at all. I was surprised! They are much brighter than DP's and on my side are like my grandfather's were (so she's the first to have blue eyes in our line for three generations).
My DP has blue eyes and my Mum has green eyes. Since our DD has blue eyes, it means I also carry the recessive blue gene. Also means we can't actually have a brown eyed child - it would either be green or blue all the way. Weird, huh?
