We know for fact that Liquid and Solid have the same hair color. Liquid's hair stayed blonde because he lived in the desert for a long time (Kojima's explanation). Then there's what Colonel Campbell said in the original MGS1's briefing, that Solid and Liquid were exact duplicates.

I can't speak on the facial scars or rips in their clothing. It's hard to see the twin on the right in the e3 2015 trailer, because lighting effects obscure his face. To me, it looks like the left twin is falling asleep. He has his eyes closed, then opens them, then closes them again. Some say twins are in sync with one another in an almost supernatural way.

No we actually don't know that for a fact, Solid has always been shown with brown hair, the only thing that's ever shown him with any other hair color is concept art that was made before the final designs in MGS1 and 2 and the MGS1 briefing tapes which really don't mean much since none of them show the actual color of anything, in the briefings Snakes skin is shown to be a lot darker than it actually is, so who says that his hair in the briefing was shown a different color the same way? Furthermore, if all the briefings are watched and you get the special ending to them, he asks for scissors to trim his hair, but doesn't ask for any hair dye, if his hair actually was blond during the briefings, wouldn't that have been something worth mentioning?

Kojima saying Liquid's hair was bleached blond from living in the desert doesn't really mean much, he could say that Naked Snake went through MGS3 wearing a frilly pink tutu if he wanted to, doesn't really make it so, now if that was actually stated in one of the games it would be a different story since then it's practically cemented into it, but things Kojima says outside of the games can always change.

Furthermore, we know for a fact that Liquid had the recessive genes, blond hair is a recessive trait, so him being a natural blond would make more sense than his hair being bleached by the sun.
