    My wife has brown hair, brown eyes and an olive skin complexion. I’m your typical scandi with reddish-blonde hair, blue eyes, skin that burns like paper. Our child has brown eyes, red hair and olive skin that actually tans. It’s bizarre.

      Can I ask what color your kid’s freckles are? I ask, because the redheads in my family have orange freckles, and the non-redheads have brown freckles. It looks like that correlates with the type of melanin, which would also affect whether they tan.
