All of the Vanyar had hair "as gold as Yavanna's wheat" and sapphire-blue eyes. Now those Vanyar that had mixed Noldorin or Telerin ancestry may have had different coloring, it is hard to tell. That is for geneticists to decide. The Vanyar were the Vanyar because they were the people of Ingwë, not because they were blond and blue eyed, so their coloring doesn't really matter in the classification.
The Noldor, or the so-called "pure" Noldor, almost all had dark (black or very dark brown) hair (with Mahtan and Nerdanel being the exceptions) and grey eyes. As in the case of the Vanyar, mixed ancestry changed many traits, so Noldor could have had blond hair and green eyes, and still be considered Noldor. The Noldor were considered the people who followed the House of Finwë, or at least had some Noldorin blood.
The Teleri usually had greyish/silver hair, and I'm assuming that they had grey/blue eyes, although they could have had green, eye-color isn't lengthily described anywhere. They were the people of Olwë, and I'm also assuming that in this case, anyone with Telerin blood was considered a Teler.
An Elf's coloring had nothing to do with his classification as a Vanya, Noldo, Teler, Sinda, or Silvan Elf. It was just a matter of the ancestry of that Elf.
