The iris, or the colored part of the eye with the pupil in the middle, contains most of the pigment cells that determine the color
of the eye. Most Caucasian babies are born with bluish eyes because
the pigment that determines eye color is scattered thinly in newborns.
As the child grows, the pigment is distributed throughout the iris,
and the brownish pigment begins to dominate. The process can take
several months, and is determined by genetics, with brown eyes
the dominant trait.
