It is common for eye color to change and darken over time. Hazel eyes are prone to "appearing" in change. They are actually affected more by what colors are around them. example: people with green/hazel eyes say they appear more green when they cry. The eye usually turns red when we cry and that is the opposite on the color wheel. Therefore making eyes "appear" they are changing. 2 brown eyed people CAN have a blue eyed child. They must carry a recessive gene for this. This means that a grandparent or great parent or even further down... had blue eyes. It is common for blue eyes to skip generations as well. Now green eyes are a different gene but works on the same principal of recessive genes. True green eyes are rarer that blue. Hazel eyes can carry both resulting in a mix. The outer ring color of the eye tends to be what gene you will pass onto your relatives. True Canarian people are usually described as being Tall, Blonde and Blue eyed. After gene studying, the true Canarian gene is found to be more common with Early Northern African and Phoenecians that were blue eyed. (The Viking myth has been pretty much discarded.) Now we must remember that to most Spanish or darker people you are either Rubio o Moreno. Most people considered Rubio may in fact of just been "lighter" Morenos. Not true rubios. So do not depend on word of mouth by your Ancestory.
