I'm guessing that eye color change is pretty common among ALL people. My sis used to have blue eyes, and now they're hazel (she's American). So yeah, I think that eye color change is a completely normal part of life.

It's not surprising perhaps that eye color in the new born isn't fully developed. In most cases baby's eyes will darken in color as he matures. So, while telling everyone 'He's got his Granddad's eyes' may please Granddad, it might not be so true in a few weeks' time. Your baby will usually have half his adult melanin by his first birthday and it may take up to three years before the eyes come to the full and final color... usually somewhat darker than the eyes he was born with. Special cells called melanocytes make more melanin as the baby gets older. It is the amount of melanin present that affects the color we see, just as the amount of brown dye in a fabric affects the color we see it as. The more of this brown pigment in the top layers of the iris, the more the eye will reflect brown light. Occasionally the color at the back of the iris rolls round to the front producing a darker brown ring around a pale iris. The less melanin the bluer the eye will seem. A total absence of color is that rare condition of albinism. But at birth the amount of melanin may be lower than later. The typical newborn eye color is what is sometimes called 'neutral' eyes... a dull Grey in color. It can be the same with skin tones. Blue eyes don't have less pigment than brown eyes, it is just that it isn't in the top layers. In many cases brown does predominate over blue i.e. if one parent has brown eyes and one blue, the majority of children will usually have brown eyes. Research into our genetic makeup continues to grow and newborn eye color is one of the areas where there is probably rather more to learn. While scientists think they understand why a baby's eye color develops over time, they are still discovering new things about why eyes change color in later life... or why one eye may sometimes have different pigmentation to the other. It seems that all newborns are born with eyes that look blue. About how long before you know the true color? Also how long before they can actually see (focus)? Many newborns do have a gray/blue eye color. This may change to the permanent eye color over time, and is usually reliable by about six months of age. It is uncommon for a Caucasian baby to be born with brown eyes. Almost all such babies have blue eyes because the iris has not yet made brown pigment (called melanin) that colors the iris. It is, however, common for babies to have blue eyes at 2 weeks. Usually, the iris doesn’t make enough melanin until about 3 years of age. "Although not common, two blue-eyed parents can produce children with brown eyes,"

Most people of ethnicity start out with lighter skin,eyes and hair,then as you grow,everything darkens. I am a mixture of Houma Indian and Cajun French,and when I was little,I had dirty blonde hair with green eyes-today,I am BRUNNETTE(Light brown hair),and my eyes are kind of Hazel. Weird,I know,but sometimes they(MY EYES) change colors with my clothes,or MOOD,I swear-even though some people don't believe it! I can really connect with your question,so I'm glad if I've answered it for you*
