6. Yeah, mine's salt&pepper now too. I've got some silver in my hair, but the beard shows it most.

The same thing happened with my dad. His beard went salt&pepper and his hair has remained relatively unchanged. He's 71 now. My mom's 70 and she went full silver a long time ago. I don't know about my late grandmother on her side. She always kept her hair dyed a slightly darker shade of "Bozo orange". I really don't like dyed hair.
