    If there is someone in your family history that has brown eyes then you have a chance. But green is a recessive color, less dominate than brown, so a green eyed person usually wouldn't cary a brown eye gene.

    Try the above entitled, "What color eyes will your children have?" It gives you the various combinations of eye colors that two peoples' children could have. I think it depends on what color eyes your grandparents had, not only the eye color of your parents.

    Incidentally, two blue-eyed people cannot have a brown-eyed child. The probability, according to the charts, are zero. Of course, there are always mutations to explain it away....

    well, it most likely will not happen, but because of genetic mutations and unnatural amounts of melanin in the eyes, brown eyes are possible, just not likely. Brown eyes are dominant, and green eyes are more recessive. Two people with the recessive genes will most likely have a child with the recessive genes as well, in this case, green eyes.
