The colour of Draco's hair is described in PoA - in Chaper Fourteen 
(the English title of which escapes me - I only have the Norwegian 
translation at hand), Harry is using his invisibility cloak to follow 
Ron into Hogsmeade (for the second time, while he and Ron are at odds 
with Hermione over the whole Firebolt business), when they encounter 
Draco near the Shrieking Shack.  While Draco taunts Ron, Harry takes 
the chance to lob mud at Draco.  The books describes Draco's hair as 
silver blond.
