Anyone know the color of hair and eyes that are most common for wind elves?

I don't think there is a common type. Not all clans with the elves are identified with common hair and eye colors but this might give you a starting point:

I think of Native Americans when I read the part about wind elves.

Dark hair, dark eyes, tanned skin is typical for Wind Elves.

Not necessarily. A lot of Wind Elf GMNPCs/NPCs have golden brown hair and grey eyes. Tanned skin is common, though.

Brown hair falls under dark hair. Grey eyes similarly fall under dark eyes.

I did not mean the literal settings available in DR, but the general profile.

It's been stated plenty of times in the past that DR ignores real world biology. Gray is a dark color in DR.

Or, I suppose, you could tell those GMs they're wrong and doing it wrong.

Probably the case.

GMs are nominally mortal; if forgetting to look up the specifics of Random Elf Clan #5 is someone's only sin then I'll consider starting up a cult in their honor.

Didn't mean to imply there was anything wrong with being wrong on a very, very minor detail that I find completely forgivable given DR's disconnect from actual biological science.

I only know because I helped define what was normal for Wind Elves back in '97 and still have a Wind Elf character. Who still has dark eyes, dark brown hair, and tanned skin. Otherwise I'd just shrug and say "Who cares?" Which is generally my attitude towards all the Elven clans anyway.

Wow is right. "I think so highly of myself because I claim to have defined Wind Elves, but I don't care anymore." lmao

I suppose you haven't changed priorities in the last 15 years, eh?

I'm laughing at your attempt to sound important. I couldn't care less about what your priorities may or may not be, past, present, or future.

Knock it off or go to conflicts.

Or get back on subject. That would work too.

Thank you.
