Taiyang + Raven = Blonde does not mean that Taiyang's gene deciding hair color is a dominant one. People can carry genes that don't physically manifest. As such, in real life, two people who have brown eyes can give birth to a child who has blue eyes. The chances are low that their child will have blue eyes, but it's still completely 100% possible. All that's required is that both parents carry the gene for blue eyes, which was overpowered by their gene for brown eyes. From there, there's a chance that their genes for blue eyes will mix, leading to a child with blue eyes.

Did you ever learn how to use Punnett Squares? Here, I've made a simple Punnett Square showing a possibility for Taiyang and Raven's hair color genes. It's a really simplified high school level Punnett Square. Obviously, genetics is a lot more complicated than this, but still, this level of Punnett Square is meant to show how recessive genes manifesting as physical traits in offspring is possible.
