Answer 1

Dominant and recessive are useful shortcuts, but fall apart quickly in real usage.

The more in depth read is that you have genes that have more or less impact. Brown eye gene does a lot, blue does quite little, green is in between. So with green you often end up with a mix with the other colour.
