No, you're right. I'm a little bit confised, too because of that. He did have blue Eyes, but golden Hair and was 'accepted' anyway. So why are they making so a big fuss out of that when it wasn't a Problem with Dandelion?
maybe golden hair was more of requirery... like all the characters with golden hair in the latest chapter must have been female.. so it must have something to do with golden hair being more of a priority. or maybe Dandelion had a noble woman for a mother...?
Wait I'm confused didn't dandelion have blue eyes? Or am I remembering that wrong?
