Brown, - Father has brown, Sister has brown, Mother has Blue
What you neglect is that while 2 brown eye parents can produce a blue eyed child, they are more likely to produce a brown eyed child. Also when you deal with one brown and one blue you are still more likely or equally as likely, to have a child with brown eyes than blue eyes. And its actually not impossible for blue eyed parents to produce a brown eyed child, while for certain people with brown eyes its is impossible for them to have blue eyed children. The gentics for eye color are more complex than originally thought and still aren't completely understood. Because it is possible (while not likely that blue eyed parents can produce a brown eye child) IE, My grandparents on one side both have blue eyes, they had four daughters and while three of them are blue eyed, one is brown eyed. And when you see them there is no doubt they are sisters.
