obloquy: I mentioned those "golden-brown" and "chocolate-brown" hair colors because children from unions of, for example, a Vanya and a Noldo can have those hair colors. It's just an intermingling of genes from the parents that could result in those hair colors.

As for your challenge to produce a quote from Tolkien, can you produce a quote that specifically says that Elves can't have those hair colors? Tolkien didn't describe every Elf in Middle-earth. For all we know, there could have been Elves with those hair colors.

Oh, and frankly, I don't appreciate you calling my ideas "crap." If you can produce a quote that distinctly disproves any of my ideas, I'd be more than happy to accept it. There's no reason to insult me to do that.
