This is actually a topic that I've shared with my mate, who is much more of a scholar in this feild.
Her reply is that, in The Hobbit, you learn that the elves of Mirkwood are dark haired.
Since this is where Legolas is from, she had always assumed that he followed the same trend.

I, however have not read The Hobbit in over 10 years and do not recall such details, but I do trust in her recollection.

And I ask, what questions could not be considered a waste of time when dealing with fiction... or non-fiction, for that matter.
