Paternity and Eye-Color of Child

Dear Dr. Dave & Dr. Dee,

Can two parents, both with blue eyes, produce a child with dark brown eyes? Is this a clue that the man is not the father of the child?

Signed,

Suspicious

Dear Suspicious,

Yes, it is possible for two blue-eyed parents to produce a child with brown eyes. Eye color is not a reliable or accurate method to determine paternity of a child. The most reliable and accurate method is DNA paternity testing.
