Sauron's hair colour - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I've always thought picturing Sauron and Melkor in full armour is more artistic laziness than anything else. Just imagine...

Melkor: Behold, Fëanor! For am I not Vala also? Yea, and more than those who sit here in pride. That is why I clothe myself in this raiment of metal.

Sauron: Alas, for the weakness of the great! For a mighty king is Gil-Galad, and wise in all lore is Master Elrond, and yet they will not aid me in my labours. Can it be that they do not desire to see other lands become as blissful as their own? Or can it be that they do not trust me because all they see of me is this armour (that, I may add, conducts the heat of the forge)?
