From one site about his stage gear .....

They were all cut to Elvis desired on stage height of 6'2. Of couse Elvis true height was only 5'11 3/4. The reason for the height difference, was the fact that Elvis wore lifts in his shoes, plus the normal heel of the boot, which was 1 1/2 inches on average.

Plus .....

All the sources I've checked list Elvis's eye color as blue, and his license (an official document, of sorts) also lists blue. In many photos, it is very clear that Elvis's eyes are blue, unless the photos have been retouched, but that is not likely.

and ........

There was a bit of a speculation that the favourite colour of Elvis was pink, but publicly, Elvis has never agreed about that. It seems that his favourite colour would be blue. There are two reasons why. One reason could be he has written many songs which contain the word 'blue' in it, such as 'Blue Suede Shoes', 'Blue Christmas' and 'Blue Moon'. Many artists such as Gillian Welch and Jimmy Buffet have sung a song about Elvis. The name of the song is 'Elvis Presley Blues'. So I believe Elvis' favourite colour would be blue.
