Daegwenn has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril Vanyar, Noldor, Teleri...and a chocolate easter bunny

Okay, I am a little confused here...I am getting around two billion (slight exaggeration) different discriptions of what these races look like. Now, please tell me if I am wrong in what I have gathered so far:

Noldor: Dark hair, dark eyes.
Teleri: Golden Hair, light eyes (Green or Blue)
Vanyar: Silvery Hair, greyish eyes.

I am writing a story and I have gotten many people telling me different things....I thought that Noldor had golden hair (hence Galadriel's coloring...or was it from her mother who was Telerian?? Or her father who was Noldorian) Or Thranduil who was Sindarin, yet he had golden hair...

This is so confusing...yet I have many people telling me all those things and I am tempted to toss the story out the window!

When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
When the road is a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
A highwayman comes riding—
Riding—Riding—
A highwayman comes riding, up to the old inn-door.

Over the cobbles he clatters and clangs in the dark inn-yard.
And he taps with his whip on the shutters, but all is locked and barred.
He whistles a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord’s black-eyed daughter,
Bess, the landlord’s daughter,
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair"
