dwarves must aparently have assorted hair colors?
maybe colors like blonde and blue are just rarely seen on dwarves, just like hobbits with blonde hair

I would have to say blue meant blueish-gray. Maybe his hair was jet black in his youth.

I've never noticed that before. Hmmm.... Maybe they're related to Dennis Rodman.

Blue meant a jet-black color, try to imagine a pirate called 'Blue-Beard' and maybe the image will be clear. Yellow meant a blonde color.

I thought Dwalin was an older dwarf, hence he would have grey hair, a blue shade of grey.

Maybe Tolkien just didn't mention the fact that Dwarves were the inventors of hair dye.
After all he did say that a hobbit invented Golf by knocking a goblin's head into a rabbit hole.

Indeed, I agree, but I was speaking of Balin and Dwalin.
