As I date back to the EARLY days of AD&D, plus having much exposure to other references, I'll add this little tidbit concerning 'traditional' Drow, or Dark Elves: The Drow are ebony skinned, with males showing a slight purplish tint, the females a slight blue cast. Eye colors range from the common blues and greens to the rarer lavender and metallic-looking. Dark-eyed Drow are practically unheard of. Hair color is commonly white, but can vary in cast much like skin tone, and will sometimes also take on a metallic sheen.
