May be: some newborns experience changes in color of iris, hair or skin, only have to wait and see, enjoy your baby

Maybe: This depends on how intense the color is.If it is clearly a deep brown it is likely to stay that way.Brown is dominant over other colors.Sometimes if the kid has a light hazel brown it may change, but I seldom see it.
