They were a race high and beautiful, the older Children of the world, and among them the Eldar were as kings, who now are gone: the People of the Great Journey, the People of the Stars. They were tall, fair of skin and grey-eyed, though their locks were dark, save in the golden house of Finarfin.

btw, the Dúnedain are also described as dark-haired and grey-eyed. Obviously Tolkien's ideal of beauty...
