Anything but red or orange. Its not just the mother or the father..but the grandparents, great grandparents etc that also play a part.
And many of them WILL change in the first year. Some are born with blue eyes that later change to dark brown. ( a nephews did) Some traits even skip a generation or two.

It's all a matter of genetics. It doesn't necessarily have to do with mother and father, but further back.
You can check this out.

Agreed, there could be a gene, from a few generations back, that shows up.
So, any eye color is possible.
Obviously, a shade of blue is most likely

You will get what you get as far as eye color goes. I have brown eyes as does my ex husband. One of our sons has green eyes. My father had green eyes.

Most likely, blue or green, but there are even ways they could end up brown, although it's less common. Eye color is more complicated than "dominant" or "recessive" and is probably controlled by a few genes.
