Ben and Alec are totally blond.
Oh wow. Okay.

Dark blond, mind you. But less ambiguously blond than Dean.

Does it really matter?

More than getting hair and eye colour wrong or wrongish, it's the getting body-types wrong that bothers me. Like Castiel being taller than Dean or a character having a better (or worse) body than they actually have.
I agree with Perkins that it doesn't matter much, but sometimes the details being off jars me when reading fic, or pulls me completely out. Castiel does not weigh 98 pounds.

It's fascinating to me. It also helps explain things I read in fic that were completely mysterious to me, like blond Jensen.

Because books.
There's nothing I hate worse in fic than seeing "the blonde" or "the brunette" or even "the older man" and "the younger man" or whatever. Awful writing. Not even taking into account I would never call Dean a blonde.

The "older man" seems to be a fixation for some fic writers. It throws me completely out of the story. I back away when I encounter it.

After reading enough, the blond/brunette, green/hazel I put down to personal interpretation on the writer's part.
I still remember being horrified when my older brother called me blonde (in a non-insulting way, but I was still horrified), because, damnit, I had brown hair! Light brown hair that bleached in the sun to a bit strawberry blonde in the summer. IDK. Maybe since Jensen's hair in the show is cut so short, a haircut that needs to be maintained constantly, that this natural bleaching process doesn't really get a chance to take place, and all we see are fresh roots that are dark.

"The elder Winchester" is also up there, for me.

It's okay to keep using their names! Just like it's okay to limit dialogue tags to "said" instead of getting fancy. It doesn't add up to repetition in those cases, it fades into the background, the way it's supposed to.
