From the library

Cordelia was a regal brunette with a coronet of midnight hair and duskly flashing eyes.
Anne of Green Gables, p. 204 · C1
There could not have been a greater contrast between brother and sister, for Stapleton was neutral tinted, with light hair and grey eyes, while she was darker than any brunette whom I have seen in England—slim, elegant, and tall.
The Hound of the Baskervilles, p. 85 · C1
Her eyes and hair were of the same rich hazel colour, and her cheeks, though considerably freckled, were flushed with the exquisite bloom of the brunette, the dainty pink which lurks at the heart of the sulphur rose.
The Hound of the Baskervilles, p. 141 · C1
