Doesn’t Elizabeth canonically have dark eyes, though? I think that suggests brown hair, though obviously sometimes light-haired people can have dark eyes…
I replied:
She does, but as you say, plenty of people with red or blonde hair have dark eyes. You could maybe say it’s more likely that someone with a tan and dark eyes has brown or black hair—no more than that IMO.
(I think there’s a difference between “X suggests it’s more likely” and “X suggests it’s the case.”)
