Some time ago I was chatting with BW and mentioned that always imaginad Sauron and Morgoth as dark of face and that they were afraid of light. Then I considered this statement, looked through some pages of Silm and here is what have I found:

No source implies that both of them were dark-skinned. Neiter one was afraid of light. Yes, Angband is surrounded by shadows and darkness, but inside silmarils are shining - would it be possible for one afraid of light to got a Silmaril near oneself? true, the rise of the Sun scares Morgoth, yet not because he was frightened by it's light, but because it was made as an arm against him, as a fire to defeat him, it was a token that he failed and murder of trees was not accomplished fully. And those 'darknesses', 'mists', 'fogs' and 'clouds' around Angband are just a reflection of his deep thought and will which tries to protect him against the Sun - not the light but Valar weapon
