Revisions to Are there Latin words for hair color?

Removed the space between lines. Two spaces at the end of a line cause a line break. Feel free to roll back if this format was not intended.

Certainly "flavus" in the sense "fair-haired", as in Horace 4,4:

Qualem ministrum fulminis alitem,

cui
cui rex deorum regnum in avis vagas

permisit
permisit expertus fidelem

Iuppiter
Iuppiter in Ganymede flavo,

Likewise "rufus", and, I should think, others.
