What Is The Reason For Greyish Brown Eyes In A Child?

Okay I have a concern about my baby eyes. They are a grayish brown, i was wondering how when the father has light brown eyes and I have dark brown eyes. Im full Native American dont have no colored eyes on my side.
And the father is Native American and half White. He has Light brown eyes. His dad(babies grandpa) has green eyes.
Is that possible for the baby to have that color of eyes.

Hi thanks for asking question.
You both have brown colour eye.So genetically your child can have brown eye although it was somewhat greyish brown.
This coloured eye can be genetically acquried.And brown colour eye is commonest one.
Here your child have no pathological problem.So dont worry about that.
I hope i have solved your query.
I find this answer helpful
