According to Mendelian genetics/inheritance, the eye color of the child will be brown, since brown eyes are dominant and blue is recessive. Since none of the father's parents have blue eyes, then the child will may not inherit an allele for blue eyes, assuming non of the father's grandparents have blue eyes. However, it should be noted that genetic inheritance is a little tricky and the child's eye color can be something other then brown or blue due to epistasis.

There is no way of predicting eye color when there are multiple eye colors in the family. The genetics of eye color are complicated, and color is determined by multiple genes. So far, as many as 15 genes have been associated with eye color inheritance. The once-held view that blue eye color is a simple recessive trait has been shown to be incorrect. The genetics of eye color are so complex, that almost any parent-child combination of eye colors can occur.

Most likely hazel because blue is a recessive trait!

This is a pretty accurate predictor. I had used it when I was pregnant and it was correct. http://genetics.thetech.org/online-exhibits/what-color-eyes-will-your-children-have
