there is definetely such a thing! Although it is very rare. I am not platnum blonde, but i was when i was a child and i DEFINETELY have brown eyes, they're like super brown. And when i was 8, my hair started to darken, but i am still definetely a blonde!

I am not full of myself, but i for sure find brown eyes and blonde hair more attractive than blue/green eyes and blonde hair, its just more unique and diffrent looking!

I'm Mexican, (brown hair, brown eyes) but I have cousins in Mexico who are complete blonds with Brown eyes:o) I was/still am super jealous, they're also freckly. So it is genetically possible but I think it is rare because the more I think about it, I don't see it a lot.

My cousin and my niece have this combination as well and we are of Spanish/Mexican ancestory.

My aunt had auburn hair (she has done the frosted blonde thing for so long, now though because she went permaturely grey) with green eyes and her father (my grandfather) and grandfather (my great) had blue eyes with brown/black hair.

We always joked about why none of us got the light eyes. The rest of us vary from brown hair to black, with light brown eyes to eyes so dark they appear to be black.

One of my childhood friends is half asian and half white and she has blond hair with brown eyes! And also her sister has read hair and brown eyes. Her mom is defintely 100% asian. It's really cool! I took genetics, but I had no idea how either of them got their hair because usually brown/black hair is dominant and they had no allele from their mom for light hair. Mutation maybe? Don't know

Mom is heterozygous for light hair ? Two recessive alleles one passed from mom another one from dad producing a resultant phenotype ?

Brown eyes are more common than green, and thats what I have...It is a fact that Blue and Brown eyes are the most common eye colors....I also have Blonde hair with No freckles, so Everyone has their own Opinions.....

The thing is the mom wouldn't be heterozygous for light hair. She is 100% asian. Both of her parents have black hair ( I also know this because I have met the mom's grandparents). And has no mixed ancestory as far as she knows. I know sometimes alleles can combine? Although very rare. I don't know if that could happen here though...
