Childs skin and eye color?

i'm white with baby blue eyes. both my parents are the same as me. my husband is mexican with light/medium skin complexion with brown eyes. both his parents also have brown eyes but his mom has a light complexion while his dad has more of a medium/dark complexionChilds skin and eye color?
I'll start with eye color. Bear with me on this explanation. I will do my best to explain the genetics of it. Everyone has two genes for eye color; your baby will get one gene from you and one from your husband. Some genes are recessive and some are dominant. Dominant always wins out when paired with a recessive gene. Blue eyes are recessive and brown are dominant, meaning anyone who has a brown eye gene will be brown-eyed b/c the brown will overpower the recessive gene (blue, hazel, green). However, since your eyes are blue, you can determine you have two recessive genes (one from your mom and one from your dad), meaning your baby will automatically have one recessive gene. You husband is harder to gauge. Because he has brown eyes, he could have two dominant brown genes meaning the baby will automatically get one dominant from him and one recessive for you and 100% will have brown eyes. If your husband has one recessive and one dominant gene (one brown and one blue, one brown and one green, one brown and one hazel), the baby has a 50% chance of getting the dominant gene and being brown-eyed and 50% chance of getting the recessive gene, meaning not brown-eyed. I believe when someone has two recessive genes of different colors (a combo of hazel, blue, or green) it is a toss up. Baby could have blue, green, hazel, combination, etc. However, two recessive blue genes will always be produce a blue-eyed baby. Theoretically, you could even have one blue gene and another color recessive gene. The hard part is that unless you can trace back a few generations based on your families' eye colors, you have no way of knowing who has what color genes. One of your husband's parents has to have brown eyes for him to have gotten that dominant gene. If one of his parents has a light color eye, that means your husband for sure has one recessive and one dominant and your baby has 50/50 shot of being brown eyed. Hopefully, that makes sense. In the long run, unless you are sure of the genes, you can't figure out the baby's eye color.


Now, I don't know much about genes for skin color because I don't think it is as straightforward to teach in high school/college as eye color, but from personal experience your baby could be anything ranging from your color to his color or maybe even darker depending on his genes. My friends pretty much match your descriptions pretty well, only reversed. The female is columbian and male has light complexion. Both their children have light/medium skin complexion, but I think skin color is much more of a toss-up than eye color. Sorry there is no definite answer, but part of the fun is the surprise anyway! Congratulations!Childs skin and eye color?
the baby could take completely after you or he/she could take completely after the father or maybe they baby could have a medium complexion with hazel eyes
What exactly is your question?
I'm sure your child will have a fairly light complexion. The eye color can go either way. Interestingly, I've known several white women married to Mexican men whose kids had a beautiful auburn/ginger hair color. The mothers were all blondes, and the fathers all had very dark brown/black hair.
I would guess that the baby will have blue eyes and a light complexion. Both my husband and I are mixed - I'm 1/2 white and 1/2 hispanic, and my husband is 1/2 white and 1/2 Mexican. I have a brown colored skin tone with brown eyes, and my husband is fair skinned with green eyes. One of our sons has an olive colored skin tone with hazel eyes, and the other has a lighter complexion with blue eyes.
I think the baby will probably have brown eyes unless there are blue eyes somewhere further back in his family
idk. but it sounds like it will be a beautiful child :D


according to genetics, it wil prolly have brown eyes
Sooo... what's the question? What color skin and eyes will the baby have? There's always a ratio (depending on the dominant genes), but the baby will probably have a lighter skin tone (darker than fair) and for the eyes, I think that's a toss up, 50/50?
And your point would be?
dark skin, eyes, and hair color are from more dominant genes so baby will probably be darker all the way around.
vagirlhi is close. Eye color is more complex then we thought at one time and involves several genes, but more then likely the baby will have brown eyes with perhaps green coloring. The first link is illustrative on that point and a little fun - it will tell you the probability of eye colors for a potential child.





Skin coloring involves 30-40 or perhaps more then 100 and is additive - so that that light and dark mix to make an intermediate. But that's just the genetics, my two sons are naturally many shades apart and they come from two light skinned individuals. One has golden hues and tans readily, the younger is quite pale and looks like he's going to have freckles.





In general the child you might have with your boyfriend will have intermediate skin tones of the two of you and brown eyes - but there are many shades and hues of skin there as well as the eyes.
