It would depend on the dominate gene, so most likely either a Tiefling or Human with black eyes.
I have a character (Uh Oh) who is the product of an Half-Orc (Grog) and a Mongralman (Oomph). She has a pig's snout as a nose, big hands and upper chest, one foot is bigger than the other (she has to buy two pairs of shoes to make a set), one ear is pointed and the other has fur on it and flops over, and her right thumb has no fingernail.
It is amusing to see the reaction to the character introduction.

The fluff for tieflings and aasimars both say that the outsider's influence can come from several generations down the line, so both celestial and fiendish heritage can "lie dormant" for several generations. Thus, there's a good likelihood that the child will be a regular human/elf/whatever... but his or her descendants could produce both tieflings and aasimars.
Thus, eighty or ninety years later, a humble farmer's wife has twins-- one angelic and one demonic, and nobody knows why because Great-Grandpa just passed away last year and can't tell them that the children got it from his parents.

If an aasimar and a tiefling have a kid, what is it?
...Confused?
Aasimar Infernal blooded sorcerer.

They might not be able to reproduce with each other.
Or it might be a human.
I would roll percentile.
1-50% human
51-75% tiefling
76-99% aasimar
100% gnome
Gnomes. Classic, I'm telling you. :D

Protean. This is the only possible result of the breeding of creatures with both Good and Evil aligned outsider blood.
Not good, my aasimar paladin married Arueshalae.

What the violin's wrong with Proteans?!?

I had an idea for an interesting character but I realised have no idea what race it could be.
Would it be one or the other? Some kind of blend of the two? Something entirely different?
What are your thoughts?
I have an alternate proposal: nothing.
I'd say they are just simply incompatible. A tiefling and an aasimar can't have children together.
If evil and good outsiders could have offspring together, you would expect there to be a lot out there. So I'd just rule they aren't compatible and can't have viable children together.
I took inspiration from this thread and created my own character from this. Both aasimar and tiefling bloodlines can lie dormant for generations until they pop up, so they must be very regressive genes, thus they might go dormant again. There was a tiefling rogue father and an aasimar cleric mother, so the child they had was a human sorcerer with the celestial/infernal bloodlines. Blond hair with dark brown eyes that look a bit red when the light hits them a certain way, and a couple of bump on his head past the hairline where horns could be. He uses his roguish charms to find ways to make money, but sometimes he finds out that he's been played or that his payday might have consequences to innocents, so he has a crisis of conscience a la Malcolm Reynolds. Basically he likes getting things, but his mother taught him to treat people right.
His name is Verancius Desnason, using his mother's name because his father had unknowingly broke a hellborn contract with a client, and so the family is on the run. His father split off so that they would attract less attention, though Verancius still looks for him.
He's worked out pretty well so far, even in the Emerald Spire. He's fire magic missiles in a bandit's face, and THEN managed to charm him into letting them through. He's become the face of the party, which isn't difficult considering that it's mostly comprised of dwarves. Love playing him so far.
Either a human, a tiefling, or an aasimar, depending on the story I wanted to tell as the GM.
If one of the parents is a PC, I'd have an out-of-game discussion with the player to find out what kind of story she wants to tell. I would then weave the player's answer into my decision.
I'd question the genetic compatability, since they have different subtypes. So my initial answer is to say the question is moot.
Otherwise, my general default is 'the same species as the mother'.

Whatever works best for the story you want to tell.
If it were my story, the child would be a humanoid race appropriate for the parents (probably human) and have class levels in either crossblooded sorcerer or crossblooded bloodrager with the Abyssal / Celestial combinations.

But tieflings and aasimar have the exact same type and subtype. They're both native outsiders. They don't have alignment subtypes.

I'm not sure if genetic compatibility applies with creatures that can breed with nearly anything. Not to mention that in some worlds the demon/devil origin starts with fallen angels.I'd question the genetic compatability, since they have different subtypes. So my initial answer is to say the question is moot.
Otherwise, my general default is 'the same species as the mother'.
More specifically, in the Pathfinder Campaign Setting, Erinyes are often made from fallen Angels, although they can also be made from the souls of fallen Good mortals. Although it is strange that the other Lower Planes don't have their own equivalents of this.

I was upstairs about an hour ago, and I suddenly thought, "Oh, no! I think I forgot to make a Little Nicky joke in that one thread!"
So, thank you.
But stay out of my mind.

It'd be an Aasling! No a Tiefmar!
Nah... Probably Human.
Those would be excellent jibes to insult the character's lineage.
Perhaps the character could be human in all respects, and the aasimar and tiefling traits only express themselves under specific conditions (such as being on certain outer planes or being exposed to effects with specific keywords like Good, Evil, Chaotic, Lawful.)
One possibility is to borrow the Elf-Quest Two-Edge storyline with the character trying to decide what part of their lineage to self-identify with.

Actually just realized that if an Aasimar and a Tiefling had a Kid, that would be one REALLY confused baby goat . . . .

Hmm. Perhaps their self-identification would actually influence the presentation of their racial traits? If the character is feeling particularly benevolent they manifest some minor celestial trait, and if they are tempted into evil they manifest a fiendish one? Perhaps if they ever settle in their mind which they truly identify with more they permanently become either an aasimar or a tiefling.
An aasling, duh!
A fling.

Farting around with the race builder I didn't get something I was particularly happy with, or legal, but for around 13 RP you could do:
+2 to any one ability score
Fiendish/Celestial resistance (Resist fire/acid/cold/electricity 5)
Skilled (1 bonus skill point per level)
Native Outsider Subtype (includes Darkvision)
And speaks one of its parents languages (celestial/infernal)
The trick is that the flexible ability score is only available to humanoid subtypes creates and the resistances are only available to the outsiders. So there is some fudging there. The resistances are overlapping so I wouldn't really consider them worth a total of 6 RP, probably more like 4, and I would be inclined to give the other parents language as a freebie. The rational on the skilled is that Aasimar, tieflings and humans all get some sort of skill bonus, so this honours that while leaving it flexible.
Little Nicky
Yeah, I got that response at the gaming table too.
As a parent I can answer this .
My kids are part Aasimar as they are Angels at time and at other time they where most certainly Tiefling as they behave like Demons.
They got this from their Mother who most the time is an Aasimar, but can turn into a Tiefling.
