What color choices do half-elves have for hair and eye colors?

I checked various sourcebooks but I couldn't find a clear list

Just combine the elven tendencies -- see Cyclopedia of the Realms p. 47 for skin colour -- with human colouration however you prefer. I'm not seeing the problem.

For this scenario it's 3.5, if that helps at all...

But I see that this is problematic

My understanding is it can go either way. Either pick from the region the human parent came from or from the type of elven parent.

There can not be a clear list for a few reasons.
D&D does not do genetics well, if they even come near to it.
It depends on version of source edition.
It also can matter very much of other parent.

Some of the NPC generators on the net do try to cover all things the programer was aware of. Eyes, blue, silver, green, and brown is all that come to mind if you exclude the dark elves that have red.

Edit: Hair, silver, blonde, dark and white are all I recall at this time.
