I know that it's not impossible, but it's still a little unlikely, unless she's from the fringes of the clan. And when you're creating an OC and trying to fit him/her into an universe as a fairly ordinary (for their clan/species/job) person, it's safer to go with the usual.
I don't mind if she's blond, so long as there's some reason -- though even something like "she's not from the three to four families that are from the main branch" will satisfy me, because probably only the core members have been Uchihas (and before that, Hyuugas) for long enough to eliminate all blond hair genes.
The dark eyes, though, are probably mandatory, and not only because if she has the sharingan, it means her eyes are black when at rest (maybe dark gray, if you take anime!sasu-chan's irises in the flashbacks in consideration). This, so far, has no exception in canon. Sharingan eyes are probably genetically different from simple black eyes, so the blonde with dark eyes thing dosn't necessarily apply.
Besides, while you can't make an OC with NO distinctive sign (it would in itself be either suspicious or a sign of a carbon-cutout character) giving him/her too many physical distinctive signs -- well. No. It's already something that she's a blonde Uchiha, but if she has blue or green eyes and yet still has the sharingan, it will REEK of "mi charactr iz MORE SPECIAL". And then Sasuke will feel jealous and start in on his goth makeup even more early than in canon. =p
As for yukiko's impact, maybe I'm too sensitive like that, but that's the feeling I got and I tend to be paranoid about that stuff. Better point it out now and see if she sees some truth in it or not. If I didn't think she was mature and smart enough to consider and weight my comment and see if it's worth something or not, I wouldn't bother giving it at all.
