Is it normal to have light skin, light hair, but dark brown eyes?

I have naturally light hair and very pale skin, but yet my eyes are a very deep shade of brown! Is this a rare combination? Do you any of you have it? Also, I have a very slight blue ring around the brown iris of my eye. I've heard this has something to do with high cholesterol... Is this true?

    You have geneotypes and phenotypes-the phenotypes are what is expressed and the geneotypes are what is not expressed. Depending on the egg/sperm combination during your conception, this is very normal because of the recombination of the genes. I've seen people with naturally blond hair, light, skin, and brown eyes and I think that they are quite beautiful.

    Yeah, the genes are not related...

    Brown eyes are a dominate trait for eye colour. You're more likely to get brown eyes then blue, green, or other colours. And the traits for your eye colour do not follow the same traits as your hair. Seperate genes.

    Yeah, both of my Aunts have pale skin, blonde hair and dark, dark brown eyes.

    Yeah, I think it's pretty normal. I'm super pale and have blue eyes, but I've got dark hair.

    Yes, it's normal. The genes that determine eye colour are separate from those that cause hair colour and skin colour.
