It's not a frequent usage, but the expression "little blue-haired
old lady" is floating around out there.
I'm still figuring out the use of "grey" though. There's white hair
and the mixed "salt & pepper" hair that appears grey from a distance
but as someone who turned "grey" very young I can say that I've
never really had a grey hair, just white ones.
