What color eyes of parents will make a green eyed child?

For a child to have green eyes, both parents must carry a green eye gene. Green eyes are caused by a combination of low levels of melanin in the iris, which is the colored part of the eye, and the scattering of light by the stroma, which is the connective tissue of the iris.

Eye color is determined by the amount and type of melanin in the iris. Melanin is a pigment that gives color to skin, hair, and eyes. People with green eyes typically have less melanin in their irises than people with brown eyes, but more melanin than people with blue eyes. The scattering of light by the stroma also contributes to the green color of eyes.

Most green-eyed people have parents who have either green or hazel eyes. However, it is possible for two brown-eyed parents to have a green-eyed child if they both carry a green eye gene.

Here is a table that shows the possible combinations of parents' eye colors and the resulting eye color of the child:
