For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Eye colour is determined by the amount of pigment � called melanin � in the iris of the eye. The more pigment, the darker the eye color. Contrary to popular belief, not all babies are born with blue eyes. Caucasian newborns generally have slate-blue eyes, but can be born with any shade of the other eye colours.
As a newborn's eye develops, the pigment increases as exposure to light after birth triggers the production of melanin. In babies who are born with dark coloured eyes, permanent eye colour may develop in the first few months of life. Babies with lighter eye colour at birth may average about six months to develop their permanent eye colour.
