The term is…

His curly, red-brown hair was sticking to the sides of his head, wet curls plastered to his forehead like swirls of mahogany paint. His eyes were only half opened; they were blue. A really pretty blue, as his mother had always said. Like the ocean. Only, Charlie thought, not like this ocean. He glanced…
