Wow! I didn't know eye color continues to change throughout the childhood stage. Interesting.
When I was pregnant and reading lots of books about this sort of thing, it was always clearly stated that ALL babies are born with blue eyes and their natural colour can take two years to emerge. As I recall, even Dr. Spock said that and he's American (or was, I think maybe he's been taken by the Reaper now). Out of five children I only have one who doesn't have blue eyes, my second, who has hazel like her father. Her eyes didn't change from blue until she was about 20 months old.
My children's eyes have continued to change until about 10 years or so. My oldest son is 14. His eyes a few years ago were "army green" and they are now looking more brown than green. My 10 year old daughter's eyes are now "army green". And my toddler has the gray color that usually changes, and she is not yet three. I think their eyes started turning green somewhere around 4 or 5 years old. Weird. I know it's not my imagination. I have pictures..... in a box.....somewhere.....

I knew that babies are born with blue eyes and eventually change to their real color, but I didn't know it happened so late in childhood. I think if a child is going to have dark brown eyes, his/her eyes will be more of a darker gray-blue at birth. At least that's what my friend's children did. They're puerto-rican/italian/polish/jewish.
Ancient Sim:
OK, so when do we get the mod that allows our Sim babies to start with grey/blue eyes and change when they transition to toddlers/kids???
J. M. Pescado:
My eyes can still change color, generally at will. I can make them go from brown to kind of reddish-glowy. It takes a lot of concentration and if I do it too much, I rupture a blood vessel and get an entirely red eye.

Yep, Maxis is racist...or maybe hairist...or eyeist...or something. I have brown hair and blue eyes, so in the world of perfection, I'd be killed only half-way, I suppose.
