I don't get why fic authors have to even mention hair color at all. If you're reading the fic, you're most likely at least familiar with the source material and therefore probably already know what color hair the characters have.

Lately I've been reading fic where the pairing is two brown haired guys, and they're constantly referred to as "the light brown haired man" and "the dark brown haired man" and I kind of want to bang my head against a wall.

Agreed - presumably every reader knows what the characters look like. No need for generic descriptions like this even if the POV character has some reason to be describing them which is rarely truly necessary.

And of course there's never a need for epithets.

Maybe if it's RPF or AU, where Jared or Jensen and Sam and Dean are meeting for the first time?

Or an outsider POV?

Still, hair and eye color are the least evocative things to use. Unless the POV character is a cop or something who is used to noticing that kind of details.
