What colour is Legolas` hair?

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Eomer, Elmerf left Yosmitë after their . . . ummm . . . meeting. So he was an absentee father.

Which might be better for their son, seeing the qualities of Elmerf you mentioned.

I seem to remember that.... Only vaguely, as it was something I would have liked to forget... (elronds_daughter)

Here is the quote regarding Elemerf's heir's hair colour:

In the second MS of unpublished Appendix G: Of Many Other Things, there was a slip of paper which contained a story of Frodo while he was compiling the Red Book. I did not know what my father's intention was regarding this tale, so I left it out in previous publications. But now it seems (with the discovery of Legolas' hare) that it must be made public.
The narrative is as follows:

My uncle Bilbo left a note in the second part of the Red Book. It contains an astonishing account of his stay in Rivendell during our departure. The queer thing was, it narrates of a rabbit. I've heard of Legolas' hare, but a rabbit in Rivendell? Surely Elrond must have known of it (and disposed of it thereafter). The tale seems unfit to keep in the Red Book, so I shall write it in another book (which shall be purple).

The Purple Book of Secrets

I was sitting in the Hall of Fire; not sleeping, mind you; when furtive footsteps awakened me (I mean startled). I looked around, and I saw something in the corner. What it was could not be seen clearly, for it was swathed in shadow, in the middle of which was a form, of hare-shape maybe, yet smaller.
'Hullo there, little friend,' I said to it, but it made no answer, instead its red eyes glared at me. The shadow about it reached out like black fur. I was scared, but I stood firm.
'You must be frightened. Come on, now, don't be scared of Bilbo,' I said, as I coaxed it to come out. It stepped forward slowly and suddenly its black fur were standing on its end. It scampered past me and ran into Glorfindel's room. I made my way to the door, and put my ear to it.
'There you are, $@#&!' I heard him say. I did not think that this creature, if hare it is, had so fell a name.

The hare, perhaps, is not of the tiny breed, which Elrond in his folly did not believe exist. It was, perhaps, the offspring of Legolas' hare, Elmerf. If so, I do not know what creature would bear such a bunny.

Then in the back there was written 'rumours of Glorfindel's hares will reach Frodo's ears.' I do not know if there is a connexion between the two, but if there was, I fear what it is.
