I have brown eyes and light / medium brown hair myself, but all four of my grandparents had light eyes (3x blue x 1x green - my maternal grandmother). My mother is a hazel-eyed brunette whereas the pigmentation of my father has black hair (ok, now he's pepper-and-salt) and blue eyes. Curiously enough for a long time he was blond just llike me but his hair became much darker as a teenager. My 1st cousins (3 children of my father's brother) are grey/green mixed eyed and have brown hair. One of my female cousins from this of my family has one eye blue and one hazel (heterochromy).
All my paternal grandmother's siblings (she was the youngest child ... 10th) were blue/grey eyed yet with various hair colours from blonde (my grandma) to jet-black (the oldest sister of my grandma), and btw. each of them have very different facial features.
Most members of my family & cousins have a very good ability to tan. My sister has blue eyes and dark blonde / light brown hair and does not resemble me facial feature-wise nor in pigmentation at all.
I estimate that among my blood relatives light eyes occur among my relatives at frequency above 80%. (most of them pure blue-eyes)
I think the probability of me ending with dark eyes (Bunak scale 3) was not high. My mom has eye colour no 4 according to Bunak scale and my father no 12.
Somehow I don't tan as well as I should.
