All three of our children had bright blue eyes when they were born. All three (teens) now have greenish-blue eyes that look almost identical to one another and to me.
My children's eyes were brown when they were born, and they stayed brown. My husband has blue eyes. I have green eyes. Go figure.
Meanwhile, my sister and her husband both have brown eyes, but their children ended up with blue eyes at birth and beyond.
I always thought all babies had blue eyes when born, but I must be wrong... out of my four chldren only one has hazel brown eyes. the rest have greyish blue.. although I have dark brown eyes.
I have blue eyes and so does my husband and our daughter. My father has blue and my mother has brown. Both of my husbands parents have brown. He got a recessive blue from his grandparents. He's the only child of of their 3 to have blue eyes. The rest are brown also
I thought all babies were born with dark blue eyes? My husband's were brown, mine are hazel; one son has my eyes, the other his father's. My mother also has hazel eyes.
My mother: Dark blue-green
My father: Light blue
Husband's parents: Blue
Me: Lighter shade of my mother's blue-green
Husband: Blue-grey
Our daughter is only a month old but her eyes look to be a variation of both our eyes. In some lights they look blue-green, in others they have more of the grey hue. I'm sure they will change, but with all the blue eyes in the family I'm assuming they will stay blue.
Also according to the spouse, two blue-eyed parents cannot have a brown-eyed child
This is one of those things that is both correct - and not. It is true enough that it holds true in the majority of cases. But it is false enough that relationships have been harmed by believing it.
You can imagine the effect this false belief can have on a man holding the child that just came out of his partner - and seeing eye colours that tell him he is not actually the father of the child. All sorts of accusations of infidelity and mistrust ensue. Not a pretty thing.

Its not just a "majority" of cases, it requires two blue eyed parents having a child with a dysfunctional OCA2/HERC2. Very rare indeed. But possible, as you say.
Two brown eyed parents = me with hazel eyes, brother with brown eyes. Blue eyed husband and me = blue eyed son.
Our younger son is adopted and his eye color was difficult to detect until he was older, hazel. I think hazel eyes can look brown, blue or green at times depending on the light but do settle more on a specific color as one gets older.
