Light Brown. Although I may also carry genes for blue eyes. According to the
Sano Genetics Genetic Report:
"CT at position rs1667394 means that you are very likely to have brown/hazel eyes, but blue/gray eyes are still possible."
"We often think of eye colour in terms of simple rules - brown being more dominant than hazel, which is more dominant than blue. Of course reality is much more complicated..."

At SNP rs1667394 you have the variant CT.
At SNP rs1800407 you have the variant CC.
The eye is just the beginning
Because many of the pigments present in the eyes are also present in hair and skin, genetic variation that has an impact on eye color often has an effect on hair and skin as well. For example, people with the letter T in rs1667394 (described above, the site with the strongest known effect on eye color) are also 5x more likely to be have blond hair than brown hair.
The second site mentioned above, rs1800407, has also been identified as a risk factor for melanoma, a form of skin cancer.
As genetics research continues to involve larger and larger numbers of people, understanding of the genetic basis of traits continues to improve, as does our understanding of the connections between traits. It is also really important to note that most of these relationships have been studied much more heavily in people of European ethnicity than other parts of the world. Different genetic variants may have different effects in different people, and it is very important for scientists to continue to expand their studies to include as much of human diversity as possible.
