Eye colour is an interaction of several genes. Each gene has two alleles, we get one from each parent. Generally, dark pigment, melanin, is dominant over a paler pigment. Blue eyes have less melanin than darker eyes. However, it is not a simple inheritance like tongue rolling which is governed by one set of genes.

The ocean appears blue because water absorbs colors in the red part of the light spectrum, while reflecting and scattering blue light. This causes the ocean to look blue to our eyes.

The ocean appears blue because water molecules absorb colors in the red part of the light spectrum, while reflecting and scattering blue light. This causes our eyes to perceive the ocean as blue.
What colour would a red ball be in blue light?
A red ball would appear black in blue light because red objects absorb blue light and reflect little to no light of that wavelength. This causes the red object to not reflect any light back to our eyes, leading us to perceive it as black in blue light.
What color does a blue box absorb?

Why is the sky blue, kid?
The sky appears blue because of a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering, where sunlight is scattered by the gases and particles in the Earth's atmosphere, with shorter blue wavelengths being scattered more than longer wavelengths.

What makes blue eyes blue?
There's the biological answer and there's the physics answer. Biologically, yes, it's determined by your genes. Interestingly, the mutation that originally caused blue eyes occurred only about 10,000 years ago. Prior to that, all humans had brown eyes. Everyone who now has blue eyes is a descendant of that one person with the mutation. The physics answer is that the blue color is caused by Rayleigh scattering. In other words, blue eyes are blue for the same reason that the sky is blue.
