i've always had an eye for detail

HAIR COLOR

As you know, Salazar sports very light-colored tresses; you could call them anything from gray to platinum blonde, in the right light of course. However, this seems to be an after-effect of the Plagas on his body.

When you play as Ashley briefly during your stay in his castle, you enter a room with a dial that you must turn in order to leave. Well, if you've never looked around the room, you might not have noticed a portrait of him hanging above the room's fireplace. In this picture, his hair is much darker, appearing either black or dark brown. Obviously, this is a major difference from his current appearance, and I would assume it has to do with the Plagas.

EYE COLOR

Much like his hair, I believe his rather impossible eye color is a product of the Plagas' presence in his body. The portrait I mentioned above is a little too far away for you to be able to distinguish precise eye color, but I would assume that since his eyes changed to yellow, they may have originally been hazel, since hazel is the closest naturally-occurring eye color to yellow.
