Share your peeves! Colors Don't Work Like That.

[grey_bard]

Wanted: Characters frequently described in fic as having blond or red hair who clearly do not. 

Also, characters often described as having a totally different eye color than the truth, particularly when the truth conflicts with stereotype or is not seen as glamorous. I.E. A blond with brown eyes described as having blue, a black person with green eyes described as having brown, a person with brownish-hazel eyes usually described as having bright green etc.

And any other such suspect physical inaccuracies. Big, strong 5'9" women described as delicate and tiny. People described as pale who... really aren't. Characters frequently referred to as members of a racial group to which neither they nor the actor belong. Yes, comic characters too. This is the time for your pet peeves!

Why: For secret vidding purposes.

So step right up and jump right in! I don't need to know you from Adam, I'm just looking for suggestions.

P.S. Please feel free to share any pictures you feel are particularly instructive.

ETA: I know it looks like I got a lot of comments already on the LJ post, but seriously, please keep the peeves coming. I need as many as you can dredge up.

I adore Ray Vecchio and find him extremely sexy, but he is not broad-shouldered and muscular. There is clear pictorial evidence in episode 1x04, "They Eat Horses, Don't They?" Vecchio emerges from the shower looking like a plucked chicen.

Weeeel, I offer the Fifty/Fifty (Peter Weller and Robert Hays) fic where in the first paragraph Robert Hays' eyes are described as brown. An honest mistake -- I mean he has brown hair, so his eyes must be brown -- but never there was a more grey-eyed guy! (and there is a beautiful shot of him opening those eyes)
