This tool provides a fun estimate only. Baby eye colour is influenced by many genes and can change during infancy.
Your Estimate
Here’s a simplified probability estimate based on the eye colours selected.
How does baby eye colour work?
Eye colour is mainly influenced by the amount and distribution of melanin in the iris. Brown eyes usually have more melanin, while blue and green eyes have less.
A baby’s eye colour can change after birth as melanin develops. Some babies are born with lighter eyes that gradually become darker during the first months or years of life.
Most common eye colours in Australia
Australia is a very multicultural country, so eye colours vary widely. Brown eyes are generally considered the most common eye colour overall, while blue eyes are also common among many Australians. Green eyes are usually less common, and hazel or grey eyes can also appear.
Brown Eyes
Brown eyes are generally the most common eye colour. They contain higher levels of melanin and can range from light brown to very dark brown.
Blue Eyes
Blue eyes are also seen across Australia, especially among people with European ancestry. They have lower melanin levels in the iris.
Green Eyes
Green eyes are considered less common. They can appear slightly different depending on lighting, clothing and surroundings.
Hazel Eyes
Hazel eyes often include a mix of brown, green and gold tones. They may look lighter or darker depending on the light.
Can a baby’s eye colour change?
Yes. Many babies do not have their final eye colour at birth. Their eyes may gradually darken as melanin develops. For some babies, eye colour settles within the first year, while for others it may continue changing for longer.
Because eye colour is controlled by multiple genes, this predictor should be used as a fun guide rather than an exact result.
