I can't believe how much this issue of hair color is discussed. Even more bizarre is the interest in what Legolas looked like in particular. There's no reason to believe that Quendian hair color trends were anything special. All of the normal hair colors are present in the Elven gene pool, and no unusual ones are. So what is so damn fascinating? The various human hair colors had to have come from individuals -- and thus families or tribes -- in the beginning, so why aren't people all over that topic?
