In The Ring of Morgoth Tolkien even make a difference in silver hair : he states that Olwë's hair was long and white, and his eyes blue, while Elwë (Thingol) 's hair was 'grey as silver' and his eyes 'like stars' (what it means here I don't know) adding that Elwë was the tallest of all Elves (and of the Children in general if you believe the UT ; I once made a classification of Tolkien characters known to be tall from tallest to smallest by gathering the informations but I don't remember it... only that Tuor was the tallest of the Edain and Turgon the second tallest Elf after Thingol... which should have implied that Elrond would be one of the tallest, yet when he is first described he is shown as taller than Gandalf but he is not remarked as tall in general opposite to Glorfindel).
