My husband is brown and I am olive brunette.  He is worried that the baby is going to be brown, because he doesn't want him to suffer, like he did.
my mum is blonde my dad is olive .. my husband's mum is white and father is dark. What do you think my baby will be like?

As someone who grew up mixed before it was cool to be so your child will be as fine as you both are about the color of their skin.

These things never work as you would think. My hubby's dark haired but very fair skinned im part greek so have olive skin black hair brown eyes. We have 3 blonde haired blue eyed kids who are very white lol id have thought my genes would have over powered his, so dark skin doesn't have to mean your baby will take after him :)

Genetics works in mysterious ways. No way toreally tell how your baby will come out. My fiance is african american and im hispanic but with fair skin and dark brown hair and our 3 yr old son is light skinned like i am but looks exactly like his dad and has his hair. But see my fiances mom is very light skinned as well. It just depends. No way to tell.
