The eyes will start changing colour at about 6 months of age. The iris will turn a dark grey and progressively turn a lighter grey. At a year old their eyes will be a very pale grey. At about 1.5 to 2 yrs their eyes will turn a pale straw color. And finally at around 3-4 years of age, the irises will turn a bright yellow.
