"Blue was her raiment as the unclouded heaven, but her eyes were grey as the starlit evening; her mantle was sewn with golden flowers, but her hair was dark as the shadows of twilight. " Тёмные. Как и у подавляющего большинства эльфов.
Из любопытного. В первой редакции Лэ о Лейтиан Лютиэн была светловолосой и голубоглазой:
"Her robe was blue as summer skies,
but not so blue as were her eyes;
'twas sewn with golden lilies fair,
but none so golden as her hair."(строки 13-16 из примечаний к Песни I)
Но это было очень скоро исправлено на окончательный вариант:
"Her robe was blue as summer skies,
but grey as evening were her eyes;
'twas sewn with golden lilies fair,
but dark as shadow was her hair."(строки 27-30)

Think on Kortirion and be sad - yet is there not hope?» J.R.R. Tolkien
