Boromir's Hair Color
I thought Boromir was supposed to have dark hair. I don't really mind because Sean Bean does a really great job as Boromir, but everyone complains about Faramir having the wrong hair color. Why?

Oh, well it said in the book it was dark. But as long as the actor is good, I don't think it matters much.

I don't think it should matter what color Boramir's hair was as long as the actor did him justice, which I agree Sean Bean did.

I guess Boromir was supposed to have darker hair but Faramir should definitely have had it. In the books, Tolkien described Faramir's hair as raven black whereas I don't think he ever mentioned Boromir's hair colour. So it isn't that strange that people are more likely to complain about David Wenham's hair than Sean Bean's hair. Both actors performed very well so their hair colour doesn't matter much anyway.
Actually the first thread I ever started on Entmoot dealt with this subject - Faramir's hair colour

I found this description of him in The Two Towers Chapter 1: Now they laid Boromir in the middle of the boat that was to bear him away. The grey hood and elven-cloak they folded and placed beneath his head. They combed his long dark hair and arrayed it upon his shoulders. The golden belt of Lorien gleamed about his waist. His helm they set beside him, and across his lap they laid the cloven horn and the hilts and shards of his sword; beneath his feet they put the swords of his enemies.
I agree that hair color doesn't really matter that much, it just seems like a lot of people were bothered by Faramir's hair, and was wondering why no one cares about his brother.
